This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms Of Service .
By continuing to use our Services, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used in accordance with this Cookie Policy.
WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website or use an online service.
Cookies help websites and applications function properly, improve security, remember preferences, analyze usage, and enhance user experience.
We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and analytics scripts.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation and consistent experience of the Services, they generally cannot be disabled through our systems.
Analytics & Tracking Cookies
We may use analytics and tracking technologies to understand how users interact with our Services, improve performance, analyze traffic patterns, detect issues, and improve user experience.
These technologies may collect information such as pages visited, navigation behavior, browser and device information, approximate geographic information, referral sources, and session interactions.
We may use third-party analytics providers including Google Analytics, Cloudflare Analytics, product analytics tools, and performance monitoring tools.
Analytics and tracking cookies may be disabled through browser settings or consent preferences where supported.
Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode on our website. When you deny consent for analytics or advertising cookies, Google tags will not store cookies on your device. However, Google tags may still transmit limited, cookieless signals ("pings") to Google's servers, which may include:
- Timestamp and page load information
- Browser user agent and referrer
- Your consent state (granted or denied)
- Whether ad-click information was present in the URL
These cookieless pings do not identify you personally and are used by Google to model aggregate measurement data. No cookies are written and no personal identifiers are stored when consent is denied.
For more information, see Google's consent mode documentation .
Advertising & Marketing Cookies
We may use advertising and marketing cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, attribute conversions, and support retargeting across platforms.
These technologies may collect information such as whether you arrived via an advertisement, actions taken after clicking an advertisement, and a unique browser or device identifier for ad attribution purposes.
We may use third-party advertising providers including Meta (Facebook) and Google Ads.
Advertising and marketing cookies may be disabled through browser settings or consent preferences where supported. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer advertisements, but rather that advertisements shown to you may be less relevant to your interests
LEGAL BASIS FOR COOKIE USE
We use cookies and similar technologies on the following legal bases:
- Strictly Necessary & Functional Cookies : Processing is necessary for the performance of our Services, to protect the security and integrity of our systems, and to provide a consistent user experience.
- Analytics and Advertising Cookies : Processing is based on your consent, or our legitimate interest in improving and operating our Services, where permitted under applicable law.
Where consent is required, you may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or browser settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Certain third-party services integrated into our Services may place cookies or similar technologies on your device. These third parties may include payment providers, CDN and security providers, analytics providers, embedded content providers, and customer support or communication tools.
These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, and 1Byte does not control their independent practices. We encourage users to review the privacy and cookie policies of such third parties where applicable.
CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS
Some cookies and similar technologies may result in data being transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside of our primary operating jurisdiction, including countries where our service providers or third-party partners are located.
Where data is transferred outside of our primary operating jurisdiction, we take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers are conducted in a manner that maintains appropriate protections for your personal data, consistent with applicable law.
By using our Services, you acknowledge that your data may be processed outside of our primary operating jurisdiction as described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy .
COOKIE RETENTION
Some cookies are temporary session cookies and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies may remain on your device for a defined period to remember preferences, improve functionality, maintain security, or support analytics. Retention periods may vary depending on the cookie type and purpose.
MANAGING COOKIES
DO NOT TRACK
Some browsers support "Do Not Track" ("DNT") settings. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for DNT signals, our Services may not respond to such signals in all cases.
CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, operational practices, or Service functionality. The latest version will always be available on our website.
