Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, or other digital device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. We also use similar technologies, such as your browser's Local Storage, to achieve these purposes.

2. Why Cookies Are Used

We use cookies and local storage for specific reasons, primarily to ensure the smooth operation of the SynoVaultQ website and to remember your preferences regarding data collection.

Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for the website to function. They allow for core site functionality and security. Most importantly, we use essential local storage to remember whether you have accepted or rejected our cookie policy, so you are not repeatedly prompted on every page. Because they are necessary for the site to operate, they cannot be disabled in our systems.

Functional Cookies

Currently, SynoVaultQ does not utilize additional functional cookies beyond those strictly necessary for remembering your consent preferences.

Preference Cookies

Our consent mechanism acts as a preference marker, storing your choice locally on your device without transmitting personal data to our servers.

Analytics / Performance Cookies

If you grant us your consent by clicking "Accept All" or by enabling them in the "Manage Preferences" panel, we may use basic analytics cookies. These cookies gather non-personally identifiable data—such as which review pages are visited most often—to help us understand how visitors interact with our content and to improve our editorial offerings.

3. Cookie Consent

When you first visit SynoVaultQ, a cookie consent banner will automatically appear above all website content, allowing you to control which non-essential cookies are placed on your device.

Accepting Cookies

By clicking "Accept All" on the banner, you consent to the use of all cookies, including those used for analytics and performance tracking. We will save this consent and hide the popup.

Rejecting Non-Essential Cookies

By clicking "Reject Non-Essential," we will only utilize the strictly necessary (essential) cookies required for the website to function and to record your rejection. We will save this preference and hide the popup.

Managing Cookie Preferences

You can click "Manage Preferences" on the banner to open a detailed panel. Here, you can review the types of cookies we use and individually toggle your consent for non-essential categories, such as Analytics Cookies. We do not automatically accept non-essential cookies for you. Once you save your selections, your state will be updated and the popup hidden.

4. Browser Controls and Disabling Cookies

In addition to our on-site consent banner, most modern web browsers allow you to manage cookies directly through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. To do this, check the "Help" or "Settings" menu of your specific browser.

Effects of Disabling Cookies

If you clear your browser's local storage or choose to strictly block all cookies via your browser settings, the SynoVaultQ website will still function and you can still read our reviews. However, our cookie consent banner will reappear on your next visit because we will no longer be able to remember your previous choice.

5. Cookie Retention

The consent preference stored in your browser's local storage is set to persist so that your choice is respected on subsequent visits. You have the right to clear this data at any time through your browser settings, which will reset your consent state and prompt the banner to display again.

6. Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated.

7. Contact and Privacy Information
