1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on darkbytezone.xyz:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

• Session storage items — Used to temporarily retain form state during your visit. These are cleared when you close your browser.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.

• We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools that do not set persistent third-party cookies. Any such tools are configured to anonymise IP addresses and comply with Australian privacy requirements.
