Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information.
How We Use Cookies
CyberVantage uses cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |

Analytics Cookies
We use Sentry for error monitoring and performance tracking. Sentry may set cookies to help us understand how users interact with our platform and to identify and fix issues. These cookies do not track you across other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
When you use OAuth login (Google or GitHub), those providers may set their own cookies during the authentication process. These cookies are governed by the respective provider's cookie policies. We also use Stripe for payments, which sets its own cookies as described in Stripe's privacy policy.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Cookie consent banner: When you first visit CyberVantage, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies via the banner at the bottom of the page.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, but this may affect your ability to use certain features of our platform.
Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Request a portable copy of your data
- Object to or restrict processing of your data

Data Retention
Authentication cookies are automatically deleted when they expire. Session data is retained in our database for the duration of the session and cleaned up periodically. Rate-limiting data is automatically purged after the rate-limit window expires.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
