Cookie Policy

Last Updated: December 1, 2025

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, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the website operator. Cookies contain a small amount of data — often including an anonymous unique identifier — that is sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device.

In addition to cookies, ThreatPulsar may use other similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Local storage: A web browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity and no automatic expiry.
  • Session storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when you close the browser tab.
  • Pixel tags and web beacons: Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow the server to record that a page was viewed or an email was opened.
  • Fingerprinting: Collecting information about your browser configuration (including browser type, plugins, screen resolution, and timezone) to create a semi-unique identifier for analytics purposes.

This Cookie Policy applies to all cookies and similar tracking technologies used by ThreatPulsar, Inc. ("ThreatPulsar," "we," "our," or "us") on the threatpulsar.com website and within the ThreatPulsar platform application.

2. How We Use Cookies

ThreatPulsar uses cookies for several purposes that are described in detail in Section 3. At a high level, cookies allow us to:

  • Keep you logged in to your ThreatPulsar account as you navigate between pages and features
  • Remember your preferences and settings (such as interface theme or dashboard configuration)
  • Understand how visitors use the ThreatPulsar website to identify areas for improvement
  • Measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns that bring new customers to ThreatPulsar
  • Protect the platform against fraud and security threats
  • Remember your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask again on every visit

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the ThreatPulsar website and platform to function. Without them, you cannot use core services such as logging in to your account or maintaining your session while navigating the platform. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under applicable privacy laws, but we disclose them here for transparency.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the ThreatPulsar website and platform. They provide information about pages visited, features used, time spent on each page, and error events. This information is used to improve the platform and website experience. Analytics cookies require your consent where required by applicable law.

3.3 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies track your visits across websites to allow ThreatPulsar to show you relevant advertisements on third-party platforms such as LinkedIn and Google. They also help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Marketing cookies require your explicit consent.

3.4 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization in the ThreatPulsar platform. They may be set by ThreatPulsar or by third-party providers whose services we use. These cookies allow the platform to remember your preferences between sessions.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit the ThreatPulsar website, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete existing cookies
  • Block cookies from specific websites or all websites
  • Configure notification when a cookie is being set

Instructions for managing cookies in major browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and data stored
  • Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data

Important: Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to the ThreatPulsar platform and using the Services. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies does not affect platform functionality but may mean you see less relevant advertising and that we are less able to improve the platform based on usage data.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the ThreatPulsar website are set by third-party services that we use. These third parties include:

  • Google LLC: Analytics and advertising services. Google's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.
  • LinkedIn Corporation: Professional network advertising and conversion tracking. LinkedIn's cookie policy is at linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
  • Stripe, Inc.: Payment processing. Stripe may set cookies on payment-related pages. Stripe's privacy policy is at stripe.com/privacy.
  • Intercom, Inc.: Customer support chat widget. Intercom's privacy policy is at intercom.com/legal/privacy.

ThreatPulsar does not control the cookies set by these third parties and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers directly.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. ThreatPulsar does not currently respond differently to DNT signals, but we provide robust cookie preference controls (Section 4) that allow you to customize tracking to your preferences regardless of browser DNT settings.

7. Cookies and GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR applies to our use of cookies. Under the GDPR:

  • Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are technically essential for the service you have requested.
  • Analytics, marketing, and functional cookies require your explicit, informed consent before being set.
  • You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
  • Consent records are maintained by ThreatPulsar to demonstrate compliance.

ThreatPulsar relies on the following legal bases for cookie processing: (1) legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies, and (2) explicit consent for all other cookie categories.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

ThreatPulsar may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements, or other factors. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised. Material changes that affect cookies requiring consent will prompt a new consent request via the cookie consent banner.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
