1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, PolarGX) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website and platform. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our services cannot function properly.
Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website and platform, such as which pages are visited most often and if users get error messages. This helps us improve the performance and user experience of our services.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for.
Targeting/Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertising content that is relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how our website and platform are being used. This information helps us analyze trends, administer the site, track user movements, and gather demographic information.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We may use services from companies such as:

5. How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device
Session Cookies
These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser only until you leave our website. They are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies
These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you delete them manually. The duration varies depending on the purpose of the cookie, ranging from a few days to several years.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you disable cookies, some features of our website may not function properly.
Cookie Consent Tool
We provide a cookie consent tool that allows you to manage your cookie preferences directly on our website. You can access this tool through the cookie banner that appears when you first visit our site.
Opt-Out Links
For some third-party cookies, you can opt out directly through the service provider's website:
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out
- Google Ads: Google Ad Settings
- Facebook: Facebook Ad Preferences
7. Mobile Device Identifiers
When you use our mobile applications, we may collect and use advertising identifiers, such as the Google Advertising ID or Apple's Identifier for Advertising (IDFA). These identifiers are non-permanent device identifiers that can be used to deliver targeted advertising.
You can opt out of targeted advertising by adjusting your device settings (Limit Ad Tracking on iOS or Opt out of Ads Personalization on Android).
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals as there is no industry standard for how such signals should be interpreted.
9. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on our website and updating the "Last Updated" date above.
