This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, session state, and language settings.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels/web beacons, which serve comparable purposes. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Keeping you signed in to the Service
• Protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
• Remembering your preferences and settings
• Understanding how you use our website and Service
• Improving performance and user experience

3. Categories of Cookies

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and Service. They cannot be disabled without impacting core functionality. No consent is required for these cookies under ePrivacy regulations.

Attributes: All MITRITY strictly necessary cookies are set with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax flags to prevent unauthorized access. The _GRECAPTCHA cookie is set by Google to support bot detection on forms protected by reCAPTCHA Enterprise.

3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and enhance your experience. They are not strictly necessary but improve usability.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website and Service, so we can improve the experience. They collect information in an anonymized or pseudonymized form.

Google Analytics 4 configuration:

• IP anonymization is enabled
• Data is processed in the EU where possible
• Google Signals is disabled
• Data retention is set to the minimum period (2 months for user-level data)
• No data sharing with Google for advertising purposes

3.4 Marketing Cookies

These cookies are set by advertising partners to measure the effectiveness of MITRITY's marketing campaigns (e.g. attributing visits that originated from a LinkedIn ad click). They are only loaded on public marketing pages of mitrity.com and only after you have granted "Marketing" consent. They are never loaded inside the authenticated dashboard at mitrity.com/app.

LinkedIn Insight Tag configuration:

• The tag only loads when "Marketing" consent is granted via the cookie banner.
• LinkedIn acts as a data controller for the data collected through the Insight Tag. LinkedIn's privacy practices are governed by LinkedIn's Privacy Policy and LinkedIn's Cookie Policy.
• You can opt out of LinkedIn ad personalization at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls.

4. Cookie Consent

4.1 Consent Mechanism

When you first visit mitrity.com, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to:

(a) Accept all cookies — Enables all categories (strictly necessary, functional, and analytics);

(b) Accept necessary only — Enables only strictly necessary cookies;

(c) Customize — Choose which optional categories to enable or disable.

4.2 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) because they are essential for providing the Service you have requested. These cookies are always active.

4.3 Changing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:

• Clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer;
• Accessing the cookie preferences in your account settings (for authenticated users); or
• Contacting us at dpo@mitrity.com.

Changes take effect immediately. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

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

• View cookies stored on your device
• Delete individual or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific or all websites
• Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies

Instructions for common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Note: Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using the Service. If you clear cookies from your browser, you will need to set your consent preferences again on your next visit.

6. Third-Party Cookies

6.1 Analytics Providers

We use Google Analytics 4 for analytics purposes. This service may set its own cookies as described in Section 3.3.

• Google Analytics: Google's Privacy Policy; Google Analytics Opt-out

6.2 Marketing Providers

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on public marketing pages to measure the effectiveness of LinkedIn ad campaigns. The tag is loaded only after you grant "Marketing" consent in the cookie banner and is not present in the authenticated dashboard. See Section 3.4 for the cookies set.

• LinkedIn: LinkedIn's Privacy Policy; LinkedIn's Cookie Policy; Opt out of LinkedIn ad personalization

6.3 Bot Protection

We use Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to protect our forms (login, registration, and contact forms) from automated abuse. reCAPTCHA may set cookies and collect usage data (such as IP address and browser characteristics) to distinguish human users from bots. This is considered strictly necessary for security.

• Google reCAPTCHA: Google's Privacy Policy; Google's Terms of Service

6.4 Payment Processing

When you interact with our billing pages, Stripe may set cookies necessary for payment processing and fraud prevention. These are considered strictly necessary for the payment transaction.

• Stripe: Stripe's Cookie Policy

6.5 Advertising Cookies

MITRITY does not serve ads on its website and does not allow third parties to place advertising cookies for the purpose of targeting you on other sites. The only advertising-related tag we load is the LinkedIn Insight Tag described in Section 6.2, which is used solely to measure the effectiveness of LinkedIn ad campaigns that brought visitors to mitrity.com. It is loaded only on public marketing pages and only with explicit "Marketing" consent.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. However, when you visit our website with DNT enabled, we respect this preference by disabling analytics cookies by default (treating it equivalent to "Accept necessary only").

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. When we make changes, we will:

(a) Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy;

(b) Reset the cookie consent banner so that you can review and update your preferences; and

(c) For material changes, provide notice via email or through the Service.
