Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — collectively referred to as "cookies" in this policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

Syntharil uses cookies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and improve the Service. We categorize cookies into three types: Essential, Analytics, and Functional. Each category is described in detail below.

Our use of cookies is governed by our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

3. Cookie Categories

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled. No consent is required for essential cookies because they are required for the basic operation of the Service.

Cookie NamePurposeDuration
next-auth.session-tokenAuthentication session — keeps you logged inSession
next-auth.csrf-tokenCSRF protection — prevents cross-site request forgerySession
sandbox-seeder-team-idActive team selection — remembers your currently selected team1 year
syntharil-cookie-consentStores your cookie consent preferences1 year

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies require your consent before being set.

Currently none. Syntharil does not currently use analytics cookies. When analytics are added to the Service, this section will be updated with the specific cookies used (e.g., page views, feature usage patterns). You will be asked for consent before any analytics cookies are set.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization. These cookies are set only with your consent.

Currently none. Syntharil does not currently use functional cookies beyond what is covered by the Essential category. When additional functional features are added, this section will be updated. You will be asked for consent before any functional cookies are set.

4. Your Choices

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings available in the banner at the bottom of this page. The banner gives you three options:

  • Accept All — enables all cookie categories
  • Reject Non-Essential — essential cookies only (analytics and functional remain disabled)
  • Manage — opens a dialog to configure individual categories

You can also clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent the Service from functioning correctly — you will be logged out and unable to use the platform.

5. Region-Specific Rights

EU / EEA Visitors (GDPR)

If you are visiting from the European Union or European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Non-essential cookies are blocked by default until you explicitly opt in via the consent banner.
  • You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by using the "Manage" option in the cookie banner.
  • Granular consent is available — you may accept or reject each category (Analytics, Functional) independently.
  • Essential cookies are exempt from consent requirements under GDPR as they are strictly necessary for the Service to function.

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

  • You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. You can exercise this right by clicking "Reject Non-Essential" in the cookie banner.
  • We honor your preference with equal prominence — the Accept All and Reject Non-Essential options are presented with the same visual weight and require the same number of clicks, in compliance with CCPA 2026 symmetry of choice requirements.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Syntharil does not currently use third-party cookies or third-party tracking technologies. If this changes — for example, when analytics tools are integrated — this policy will be updated before any such cookies are set, and you will be asked for consent where required.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide advance notice where required by applicable law. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
