Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how GZ Systems Limited (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, https://www.purewl.com/password-manager/  to use our password manager services via our website, web app, browser extensions, and mobile applications (collectively, the “Services”). 

It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy available at https://www.purewl.com/password-manager/privacy-policy.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, or font size) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies can be “session” cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

We also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, SDKs, web beacons, device identifiers, and local storage (collectively, “cookies” for ease) across our website, web app, browser extensions, and mobile apps. Cookies and similar technologies do not give us access to your device or files.

How and Why We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Services to operate, and we refer to these as “strictly necessary” or “essential” cookies. Other cookies enable us to understand usage, enhance functionality, and deliver advertising and offers.

Legal basis and consent: We set non‑essential cookies only with your prior consent, as required by Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and local implementing laws, applying the GDPR consent standard (freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous). Essential cookies may be used without consent where they are strictly necessary (a) to transmit a communication over an electronic communications network, or (b) to provide an information society service you expressly request.

How we obtain consent: We obtain your consent through our cookie banner. We will not set non-essential cookies unless and until you provide consent.

Withdrawing consent: You may withdraw or change your consent at any time in Cookie Settings. 

Transparency. Our live cookie table in Cookie Settings lists each cookie/technology, its provider (first/third party), purpose, duration, and type. We keep this inventory updated and will request consent again if we make material changes to categories, purposes, or providers.

Record of consent and renewal. We keep a record of your consent status to demonstrate compliance and to honor your preferences. We may re-prompt for consent periodically or when required by law or regulator guidance

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: These enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, fraud prevention, load balancing, and service availability. The Services cannot function properly without these cookies. Disabling them via your browser may impair or prevent use of the Services.

Functional Cookies: These remember choices (for example, language or login status) and support features like chat and support widgets. We use these only with your prior consent. Some functionality cookies are provided by third parties.

Performance and Analytics Cookies: These collect information about how you use the Services (for example, pages visited and errors encountered). The data is often aggregated or de-identified and helps us understand usage, improve performance, and diagnose issues. We use these only with your prior consent.

Advertising Cookies: These deliver advertisements more relevant to your interests, limit ad frequency, and measure campaign effectiveness. This category includes social media cookies and may support cross-context behavioral advertising. We use these only with your prior consent.

Third Party Service Providers:

We use both first-party cookies set by our domains and third-party cookies set by service providers.
