Effective Date: June 1, 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how ThreatBook (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our websites and platforms, and what choices you have.

By continuing to use our websites, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy—unless you disable them via your browser or cookie preferences.

 

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) to remember your preferences, enable core functionality, and collect information about your interaction with the site.

 

2. Types of Cookies We Use

a. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for website functionality—such as logging in, form submissions, and maintaining session state. They cannot be disabled.

Examples:

  • Session management
  • Load balancing
  • Security authentication

b. Performance & Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve functionality, usability, and performance.

Examples:

  • Page visits
  • Time spent on site
  • Click paths

We use tools such as Google Analytics, which may set cookies to track aggregated, anonymized usage data.

c. Functional Cookies

These enable enhanced features like remembering preferences, languages, or region-specific content.

d. Targeting & Advertising Cookies

These cookies track your browsing habits across websites to deliver relevant ads. We may use retargeting partners like LinkedIn Ads or Google Ads for this purpose.

These cookies are only set with your explicit consent via our cookie banner.

 

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site may be placed by third-party services, such as:

  • Embedded social media buttons (e.g., LinkedIn, WeChat)
  • Video hosting providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Analytics platforms

These third parties are responsible for their own privacy and cookie policies.

 

4. Your Choices

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

a. Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to:

  • Block all cookies
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Notify you when a cookie is set

Refer to your browser’s help section for instructions.

b. Consent Management Tool

On your first visit, you’ll see a cookie banner allowing you to:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Customize preferences
  • Reject non-essential cookies

You can revisit or update your preferences anytime via the [Cookie Settings] link in the website footer.

c. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers support DNT signals; however, our site may not respond to DNT requests consistently due to technical limitations.

 

5. Data Retention

Cookies have expiration dates. Some expire when you close your browser (session cookies), others remain on your device for longer (persistent cookies). We limit retention where possible and do not use tracking cookies longer than necessary.

 

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or law. Updates will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.
