Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
At Fynoptex, we believe in being straightforward about how we collect information when you visit our website. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage them.
Cookies help us understand how people interact with our platform. They're small text files that sit on your device and remember things like your preferences or whether you've visited before.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Think of cookies as digital sticky notes. When you visit fynoptex.info, our server sends a tiny piece of data to your browser. Your browser stores it and sends it back during your next visit. This helps us recognize you and remember your choices.
Some cookies vanish when you close your browser. Others hang around for weeks or months. We use both types, depending on what we're trying to accomplish.
Types of Tracking We Use
️ Essential Cookies
These are the ones we absolutely need to run the site. Without them, basic functions simply won't work. You can't really opt out of these because they're fundamental to the platform operating correctly.
- Session management and login authentication
- Security features that protect your account
- Load balancing across our servers
Analytics Cookies
We track how visitors use our site so we can make it better. Which pages do people actually read? Where do they get stuck? This information guides our improvements, though it never identifies you personally.
- Page view counts and time spent on pages
- Navigation patterns throughout the site
- Technical details like browser type and screen size
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices. They're what make the site feel personalized to you rather than showing the same generic experience to everyone.
- Language and region preferences
- Interface customizations you've made
- Content filters and display settings
Marketing Cookies
We use these to understand which marketing channels bring people to our site. They help us figure out whether our outreach efforts are actually working or if we're wasting resources.
- Tracking which ads or links led you here
- Measuring campaign effectiveness
- Understanding audience interests
Finding What You Need
Looking to understand what data we collect?
Check the types above for specific details about each cookie category. Analytics cookies track browsing patterns, functional cookies store preferences, and marketing cookies measure our outreach effectiveness.
Want to disable certain cookies?
Your browser gives you control. See the browser settings section below for step-by-step guidance on managing cookie preferences across different browsers.
Concerned about privacy?
We never sell your data or share it with third parties for their marketing purposes. Everything we collect stays within our systems and serves only to improve your experience on our platform.

Reach out to [email protected] with any questions or concerns. We typically respond within two business days.
Managing Your Browser Settings
Taking Control
Every major browser lets you manage cookies. The exact steps vary, but the principle stays the same. Here's how to access these controls in the browsers most people use:
- Chrome: Click the three dots in the top right, go to Settings, then Privacy and Security. Click on Cookies and other site data to adjust your preferences.
- Firefox: Open the menu, select Settings, then Privacy & Security. Scroll to Cookies and Site Data to manage your options.
- Safari: Go to Preferences from the Safari menu, click Privacy, then manage cookies and website data from there.
- Edge: Click the three dots, choose Settings, then Cookies and site permissions. Select Cookies and site data to customize.
How Long We Keep This Information
Storage Duration
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear the moment you close your browser. Others remain for specific periods based on their purpose.
Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session. Functional cookies might persist for up to 12 months so we remember your preferences. Analytics cookies usually expire after 13 months, which is pretty standard across the industry.
Marketing cookies can last up to 12 months. After that period, they expire and get deleted automatically. You can always clear them manually through your browser settings if you'd prefer not to wait.
Your Control Options
Browser Settings
The most direct approach. Configure your browser to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies after each session.
Do Not Track
Most browsers offer a Do Not Track signal. We respect this preference, though not all websites do. It's worth enabling if privacy matters to you.
Private Browsing
Incognito or private mode prevents cookies from persisting after you close the window. Your browsing during that session still uses cookies, but they don't stick around.
Cookie Manager Add-ons
Browser extensions give you granular control. You can allow cookies from specific sites while blocking others, creating a customized experience.
Third-Party Services
Sometimes we use services from other companies to run parts of our platform. These might include analytics tools or content delivery networks. When they operate on our site, they may set their own cookies according to their privacy policies.
We're selective about which third parties we work with. They need to meet our standards for data protection and user privacy. Even so, you should know that their cookies exist separately from ours.
If you want details about specific third-party services we use, send us an email. We maintain a current list and update it whenever we add or remove a service provider.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally when our practices change or when legal requirements shift. The date at the top shows when we last revised it. We won't make major changes without notifying active users through email or a prominent notice on the site.
It's worth checking back here now and then if you're curious about our current approach. We try to keep the language clear rather than hiding behind legal jargon.
Questions or Concerns?
If something in this policy isn't clear, or if you have specific questions about how we handle cookies, get in touch with us directly.
Email us at [email protected] or write to Fynoptex at Av. Louise 143/4, 1050 Bruxelles, Belgium. We read every message and respond to legitimate inquiries.
