This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Service.

This Cookie Policy ("Policy") is issued by [Company Name], registered at [Company Address] (Registration No: ). It describes the types of cookies and similar technologies we use on GenerateSaaS Demo (http://localhost:3000), including all associated websites, applications, and services (collectively, the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and use personal information.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

1.1 Cookies

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

Cookies can be:

First-Party Cookies: Set by the website you are visiting. Only that website can read them.

Third-Party Cookies: Set by domains other than the website you are visiting. They are typically used for tracking and advertising purposes.

Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

1.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:

Pixel Tags (Web Beacons): Small, invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views, email opens, and other user activities.

Local Storage: Browser storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request.

Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the browser session ends.

Device Fingerprinting: Collecting information about your device's configuration to create a unique identifier. We minimize the use of this technique and rely primarily on cookies.

Software Development Kits (SDKs): Code libraries embedded in mobile applications that can collect data similar to cookies.
