This Cookie Policy explains how Synct Collective Limited ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://synctcollective.com (the "Site"). It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and scripts that set identifiers. They can keep a session secure, remember preferences, or help third-party widgets work.
2. Our approach
We keep third-party scripts minimal for performance and privacy. As of the Last Updated date above:
- we do not use marketing cookies
- we do not currently run a separate analytics cookie suite (such as Google Analytics or GTM) on the public Site
- we do use essential security and session technologies, plus limited third-party widgets named below
The Site does not currently show a cookie consent banner because we are not loading non-essential analytics or advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy and, where required, add a consent mechanism before those cookies run.
3. Cookie and technology categories
A. Strictly necessary / security
Required for basic operation, form integrity, and abuse prevention. These cannot be switched off from the Site without breaking core functions.
B. Functional / third-party widgets
Help optional features such as review embeds. They may set cookies controlled by the widget provider.
C. Analytics
Not currently used on the public Site. If we add privacy-focused analytics later, we will name the tool, list its cookies, and obtain consent where law requires it.
D. Marketing
Not used.
4. Technologies we use (illustrative table)
Exact cookie names can vary by provider version. Typical technologies on the Site include:
| Name / technology | Provider | Type | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WordPress session / logged-in cookies | Synct Collective (WordPress) | Necessary | Admin or portal authentication when you are logged in | Session to ~14 days |

| CDN / firewall cookies (if enabled by host) | Hosting / CDN provider | Necessary | Load balancing, bot mitigation, network security | Session to short-lived |
Google's use of information from sites that use reCAPTCHA is described in Google's privacy documentation. Trustindex processes data under its own privacy terms when their widget loads.
5. How to manage cookies
You can control cookies through your browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break login, forms, or security checks.
