Last Updated: March 13, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Short-it ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently and to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Short-it) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies".
3. Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions.
We use essential cookies for:
- Authenticating and identifying you on our website so we can provide you the services you requested
- Storing user session information
- Remembering your language preferences
3.2 Advertising Cookies
We may use advertising cookies in the future to display advertisements that may be relevant to you based on your browsing habits. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
4. How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?
The length of time a cookie will remain on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will remain on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.
Our cookies have varying lifespans:
- Language preference cookies are persistent and remain on your device indefinitely
- Authentication cookies contain information that naturally expires (such as JWT tokens) and become invalid after their expiration period
5. Cookie Management
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
