Pivot VPN Cookies Policy

Effective date: 14.04.2026

Website: pivotvpn.net

This Cookies Policy explains how Pivot VPN (“Pivot VPN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on pivotvpn.net and related website pages we control.

By using our website, you can choose whether to allow certain categories of cookies through our cookie banner or settings tool, except for cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, improve performance, measure usage, and, where enabled, support marketing and advertising activities.

We may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage, and scripts for comparable purposes. In this Policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies” for simplicity.

2. Why Pivot VPN uses cookies

We use cookies to:

• operate and secure our website;

• remember your preferences and consent choices;

• improve website performance and user experience;

• understand how visitors interact with the website;

• measure the effectiveness of campaigns;

• support marketing, remarketing, and affiliate attribution where enabled.

Website cookies are used for the website experience only. They do not give us visibility into your VPN browsing activity, traffic content, or websites you access while using the VPN service.

3. Cookie categories we use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation, security, and core functionality of the website. They cannot be switched off through our cookie settings tool because the website would not work properly without them.

Examples may include cookies used for:

• security and fraud prevention;

• load balancing and website stability;

• session management;

• remembering privacy or cookie preferences;

• account login and authentication, where applicable.

Without these cookies, some parts of the website, including forms, secure pages, or account-related features, may not function correctly.

B. Functional Cookies

These cookies help provide enhanced features and a more personalized experience.

Examples may include cookies used for:

• remembering language or interface preferences;

• live chat or customer support tools;

• saving non-essential settings you choose on the website.

If you disable these cookies, some optional features may become unavailable or work less effectively.

C. Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve structure, content, usability, and performance.

Examples may include collection of information such as:

• pages visited;

• time spent on pages;

• referral source;

• device or browser type;

• general interaction patterns on the website.

Analytics cookies help us evaluate what is working and what needs improvement.

D. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be used to support advertising, remarketing, conversion measurement, affiliate attribution, and campaign performance tracking.

They may be set by us or by third-party advertising and marketing partners. They can be used to show more relevant ads or measure whether a campaign led to a visit, signup, or purchase.

If you disable these cookies, you may still see ads, but they may be less relevant to you.

4. Third-party cookies

Our mobile application does not generally use browser cookies in the same way as a website. However, we may use third-party services, software development kits (SDKs), device identifiers, and similar technologies to operate the app, manage subscriptions, authenticate users, analyze performance, prevent abuse, and deliver notifications.

Depending on the features enabled in the app from time to time, these third-party providers may include services such as:

• Firebase (for authentication, cloud database, and related backend functionality)

• RevenueCat (for subscription management and in-app purchase processing)

• OneSignal (for push notifications)

• AppsFlyer or similar attribution/analytics providers

• Google Sign-In or other identity providers

These providers may collect and process certain technical data, such as device information, app instance identifiers, subscription status, diagnostic data, and interaction events, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

We may update the third-party services used in the app from time to time as we improve, maintain, and market the service. The most current information about material third-party data practices should be reflected in this Privacy Policy and, where required by law, in any in-app consent or disclosure mechanism.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers directly.

5. How we collect your consent

When required by applicable law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

You can typically choose to:

• accept all cookies;

• reject all non-essential cookies; or

• manage cookie preferences by category.

Strictly Necessary Cookies do not require prior consent because they are needed for the basic operation and security of the website.

6. How to manage or disable cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

• through our cookie banner or cookie settings tool, where available;

• through your browser settings;

• by deleting existing cookies from your browser;

• by using third-party opt-out tools offered by some analytics or advertising providers.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect website performance and may disable certain features, including secure access, saved preferences, forms, or support features.

7. Cookie duration

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods of time:

• Session cookies expire automatically when you close your browser.

• Persistent cookies remain for a longer period or until manually deleted, depending on their purpose and settings.

We aim to keep cookie retention periods proportionate to their purpose.

8. Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, website functionality, or our service providers.

When we make material changes, we will post the updated version on this page and update the “Effective date” at the top.
