Cookie Policy
How PLANEX utilizes functional cookies and local storage tokens.
What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit web applications. Similar browser technologies, such as HTML5 Local Storage and Session Storage, allow websites to remember user preferences and maintain secure session states.
How PLANEX Uses Cookies
PLANEX enforces a strict minimal tracking policy. We never use third-party advertising cookies, behavioral tracking pixels, or data-broker cookies.
We use cookies and local storage exclusively in the following essential categories:
- Essential & Functional Tokens: Storing your preferred dark/light color mode theme preference (
theme: 'dark' | 'light') and maintaining temporary interactive UI filter states. - Security & Anti-DDoS Mitigation: Cryptographic challenge tokens issued by edge CDN layers (e.g. Cloudflare / AWS Shield) to differentiate legitimate visitors from automated botnets.
- Privacy-Preserving Performance Analytics: Aggregated, anonymized page performance logs (measuring TTFB and Core Web Vitals) without tracking personal IP addresses.
