Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on https://bytegix.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
2. Cookie categories on bytegix.com
We use exactly two categories of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set whenever you visit the site. Analytics cookies are loaded only after you give your consent in the cookie banner.
Strictly necessary — always on
These cookies are essential for the site to function. They store no information that can identify you; they only remember your cookie preferences so we do not show the consent banner on every visit.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Retention | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __Host-bytegix-consent | bytegix.com (first-party) | Stores your cookie preferences (which categories you accepted, language, timestamp) | 6 months | HTTP cookie |
Analytics — opt-in
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. They are set only after you click "Accept all" in the banner or enable the "Analytics" toggle in cookie preferences.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Retention | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Analytics 4) | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated client ID | 2 years | HTTP cookie |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Analytics 4) | Persists session state | 2 years | HTTP cookie |
| ai_user | Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd. (Azure Application Insights) | Identifies a user across sessions for the browser SDK | 1 year | HTTP cookie |
| ai_session | Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd. (Azure Application Insights) | Identifies a single browsing session | 30 minutes (sliding) | HTTP cookie |
We do not use any marketing, advertising, or social-media tracking cookies. We do not use any cross-site tracking pixels.
3. Server-side telemetry
In addition to cookies, our servers send anonymized HTTP request metadata to Azure Application Insights for security monitoring, error diagnostics, and performance measurement. Client IP addresses are masked before this data leaves our infrastructure. This processing does not use cookies and does not identify you personally.
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended), this server-side processing does not require prior consent because it is necessary for the legitimate interest of operating a secure website and does not store information on your device.
4. How to manage your cookie choices
- Use the cookie banner shown on your first visit to accept or reject analytics cookies.
- Open "Cookie Settings" from the footer at any time to change your decision.
- Clear cookies for bytegix.com via your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge all expose this in their privacy settings).
- When you withdraw analytics consent, we delete the relevant cookies (_ga, _ga_*, ai_user, ai_session) from your browser and stop loading the analytics SDKs.
5. Third-party providers
When you accept analytics cookies, the following third parties act as processors on our behalf under GDPR Art. 28:
| Provider | Privacy information |
|---|---|
| Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Analytics 4) | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd. (Azure Application Insights) | https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement |
