CodePulse may use cookies and similar technologies where reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, analyse, and improve our website and platform.

The cookies used may vary depending on the features and services you access.

Certain cookies are necessary for the CodePulse website and platform to function properly.

These may be used for purposes such as:

• user authentication;
• maintaining login sessions;
• account security;
• preventing fraudulent or unauthorised activity;
• remembering essential session information;
• maintaining platform functionality;
• processing user requests;

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation and security of CodePulse, disabling them may prevent certain parts of the Services from functioning correctly.

CodePulse may use functional cookies or similar technologies to remember certain choices or preferences.

These may include:

• interface preferences;
• account or organisation selections;
• dashboard preferences;
• language or regional settings, where available;

These technologies help provide a more consistent experience when you return to CodePulse.

Where implemented, CodePulse may use analytics and performance technologies to understand how users interact with our website and platform.

These may help us understand information such as:

• number of visits;
• pages or features accessed;
• general navigation patterns;
• platform performance;
• errors or technical problems;
• approximate session duration;
• how users interact with different areas of CodePulse;

We may use this information to improve the performance, reliability, usability, and functionality of CodePulse.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics cookies will be used subject to appropriate consent.

We may use cookies or similar technologies to help:

• detect suspicious activity;
• protect user accounts;

Such technologies may be considered essential to providing a secure service.

CodePulse offers paid subscription services.

When you make a payment or manage a subscription, our authorised payment gateway or payment service provider may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:

• securely processing transactions;
• authenticating payments;
• preventing fraud;
• managing recurring payments;
• maintaining payment sessions;
• complying with applicable financial and regulatory requirements;

Payment providers may process such information under their own privacy policies, cookie policies, and terms.

CodePulse does not control cookies independently placed by third-party payment providers on their own services.

Certain CodePulse functionality may depend on third-party technology providers, such as:

• authentication providers;
• source-code or repository integrations;
• payment processors;
• infrastructure providers;
• security services;
• analytics or performance-monitoring providers;

These third parties may use their own cookies or similar technologies where necessary to provide their services.

Their use of such technologies may be governed by their respective policies.

CodePulse may allow authorised users to connect third-party source-code repositories or development platforms.

Authentication and authorisation processes associated with these integrations may use cookies or similar technologies provided by the relevant third-party platform.

Such third-party technologies are governed by the applicable provider’s policies.

Where required under applicable law, CodePulse may request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

You may be provided with options to:

• accept optional cookies;
• reject optional cookies;
• manage available cookie preferences;

Strictly necessary cookies may not require optional consent where they are essential to provide functionality requested by the user or otherwise permitted under applicable law.

Most web browsers allow users to control cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• view stored cookies;
• block certain cookies;
• delete existing cookies;
• prevent future cookies from being stored;
• receive notifications when cookies are being used;

Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to log in or use certain CodePulse functionality.

Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends.

Persistent cookies may remain for a specified period or until manually deleted.

The actual duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the technology used.

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information in certain circumstances.
