In short
- PLUX uses only necessary cookies and local storage: for sign-in, security, language and settings.
- We have no advertising, analytics or third-party trackers. That is why we do not ask for consent: it is not required for necessary cookies.
- If optional cookies ever appear, we will ask for your consent first, and refusing will be as easy as agreeing.
1. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Local storage (localStorage) does the same, but the data is not sent to the server with every request. The PLUX desktop app stores settings the same way, in its own storage on your device.
This policy explains exactly what we store and why. It supplements the Privacy Policy.
2. Our rules
- We store on your device only what PLUX cannot work without, or what you have set yourself: sign-in, protection, language, theme, sounds.
- We do not use analytics, ad networks, social media pixels or any cross-site tracking.
- Necessary cookies do not require consent: this follows from art. 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the relevant laws of EU countries. We still tell you about them.
- If we add optional cookies, they will start working only after your explicit consent. You will be able to change your decision at any time using the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of the site.
