Article 1. Introduction

Welcome to the Cookie Policy of XWMS.

This policy explains how XWMS uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, sign in to your account, use the platform, or interact with checkout and client-facing features.

At this time, XWMS uses a limited set of cookies for platform operation, language preferences, security, and analytics. We do not currently use marketing cookies or social media advertising cookies.

Please read the sections below to understand what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage them.

Article 2. Types of Cookies Used

Types of Cookies Used

XWMS currently uses the following cookie categories:

Necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the core operation of the Services. They help with authentication, secure session handling, and basic platform stability.

Preference cookies

These cookies remember settings you choose, such as language preferences, so the platform behaves consistently across visits.

Analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how the Services are used, improve performance, and identify problems. At the moment this mainly relates to Google Analytics.

No marketing or social media cookies at this time

XWMS does not currently use cookies for targeted advertising, cross-site marketing, or embedded social media tracking.

If that changes in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated before or when those tools are introduced.

Article 4. How and When We Ask For Consent

How and When We Ask For Consent

Necessary cookies are used automatically because they are required for the platform to work correctly and securely.

Analytics cookies are used for service measurement and improvement. Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies, XWMS will rely on a valid legal basis before using them.

You can also block or remove cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Services from working correctly.

Article 5. How to Manage Cookies

How to Manage Cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• view existing cookies
• delete cookies
• block all cookies or selected cookies
• set different rules for specific websites

If you want to disable Google Analytics, you can also review Google's browser tools and privacy controls.

Please note that disabling necessary cookies may affect login, security-related functionality, checkout, and language preferences.

Article 6. Third Parties and Third-Party Cookies

Third Parties and Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may come from third-party services that support the operation of the platform.

Current examples may include:

• Google Analytics, for usage statistics and service improvement
• Stripe, where payment or checkout flows rely on Stripe-managed components or security tooling

These third parties operate under their own policies and technical controls. We recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie documentation where relevant.

Article 7. Consequences of Rejecting Cookies

Consequences of Rejecting Cookies

If you reject, block, or remove cookies, some parts of the Services may not function properly.

This may affect:

• secure sign-in and session continuity
• checkout and payment-related flows
• language and preference storage
• analytics that help us detect errors and improve reliability

Rejecting non-essential cookies should not block basic access by itself, but rejecting necessary cookies can limit or break important features.

Article 8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or technical changes.

When updates are made, the revised version will be published on the Cookie Policy page. Where appropriate, important changes may also be communicated through dashboard notifications or email.

You should review this Cookie Policy regularly so you remain informed about how cookies are used on the platform.
