Effective Date: February 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how NeuralWired (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on neuralwired.com and our mobile applications (collectively, the “Services”). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

By continuing to use our Services, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. You have the right to manage your cookie preferences as detailed in Section 5 below.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and help website owners understand how their sites are being used.

Cookies typically contain a unique identifier, the name of the website that placed the cookie, and may include additional information such as user preferences, session data, or tracking information. Cookies can only store information that you provide or that your browser allows them to access—they cannot access other files on your device or transmit viruses.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

NeuralWired uses several categories of cookies, each serving different purposes. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

2.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Services and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, some parts of our Services may not function properly.

Examples:

  • Session cookies that maintain your logged-in state
  • Security cookies that prevent fraudulent activity
  • Load balancing cookies for website performance
  • Cookie consent preference cookies

Legal Basis: These cookies are necessary for the legitimate operation of our Services and do not require consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(f).

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Services, including which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on pages, and any error messages encountered. This data is aggregated and anonymized to help us improve website performance and user experience.

Examples:

  • Google Analytics cookies (traffic analysis, user behavior patterns)
  • Page load speed monitoring
  • Error tracking and debugging tools

Legal Basis: We process this data based on your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) or our legitimate interest in improving our Services (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).

2.3 Functional and Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and choices to provide enhanced, personalized features. They may track information such as your preferred language, reading history, or content recommendations.

Examples:

  • Language and regional preferences
  • Content personalization based on reading history
  • Newsletter subscription preferences
  • Font size or display mode settings

Legal Basis: Your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)).

2.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing activity across websites and are often placed by third-party advertising networks. They may also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure campaign effectiveness.

Examples:

  • Google Ads and DoubleClick cookies
  • Facebook Pixel and LinkedIn Insight Tag
  • Retargeting and remarketing cookies
  • Frequency capping for ad delivery

Legal Basis: Your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and ePrivacy Directive). You can withdraw consent at any time through our cookie management tool.

3. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

3.1 First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by NeuralWired when you visit our website. We use these cookies to provide core functionality, remember your preferences, and analyze how you interact with our content.

3.2 Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than NeuralWired, typically by service providers and partners we work with. These include:

  • Google Analytics – Website traffic and behavior analysis
  • Google Ads/DoubleClick – Advertising delivery and measurement
  • Social Media Platforms – Social sharing buttons and embedded content
  • Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) – Faster content delivery

We carefully vet all third-party service providers to ensure they meet our privacy and security standards. However, we do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.

4. Session vs. Persistent Cookies

4.1 Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session during a single browsing session, such as keeping you logged in while navigating between pages.

4.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences, login information, and browsing history across multiple visits. The duration varies from a few days to several years, depending on the cookie’s purpose.

5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Here are several ways to manage your cookie preferences:

5.1 Cookie Consent Manager

When you first visit NeuralWired, you will see a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can modify your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of any page on our website.

5.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to:

  • Block all cookies
  • Block third-party cookies only

5.4 Do Not Track (DNT)
