Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026 — We believe cookie policies should tell you the truth, not bury it.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser by a website. Cookies can be used for many purposes: keeping you logged in (session cookies), remembering your preferences (functional cookies), measuring traffic (analytics cookies), or tracking your behaviour across sites for advertising (profiling cookies).
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (and Italian Legislative Decree 69/2012), cookies that are not strictly necessary for the service require your explicit prior consent.
Cookies we use today
None. Cyberscan does not set any first-party cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking script. No consent banner is required at this time because there is nothing to consent to.
Third-party API requests
When you use the Email Breach Check or URL Scanner, your request passes through our Cloudflare Worker to third-party APIs (XposedOrNot and VirusTotal). Those services may set their own cookies or identifiers on their own domains — but since all requests are proxied server-side by Cyberscan, your browser never connects directly to those services and no third-party cookies are set on your device.
What happens when we add features
If we ever introduce analytics (e.g. Plausible or Fathom — both privacy-friendly, cookieless tools), advertising, or any feature that sets cookies or uses persistent identifiers, we will update this page, display a clear consent banner before activating any non-essential tracking, and document every cookie below in a standard table format including name, purpose, type, and retention period.
Local storage & service worker cache
The Cyberscan PWA (Progressive Web App) uses your browser's cache storage via a Service Worker to serve static assets offline. This is a technical necessity and does not store any personal data. It can be cleared at any time from your browser settings under "Site data" or "Cached files."
How to manage cookies in your browser
You can view, block, and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Relevant guides: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
