1. What This Policy Covers

This Cookie Policy explains how NitroPing and authorized partners use cookies and similar technologies on our website and related web services. NitroPing is a product of HighGround LLC (Sharjah Media City, Sharjah, UAE); in this Policy, "NitroPing", "we", "us", and "our" refer to HighGround LLC.

This Policy does not replace our Privacy Policy; it supplements it.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, and device identifiers used for equivalent purposes.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use cookie categories based on service necessity and lawful purpose.

Today our website does not set any cookies of its own. To keep you signed in, we store a secure session token in your browser's local storage; to remember choices such as your language, we store a small preference value. Our analytics is privacy-friendly and cookieless, and does not use cross-site identifiers. If you arrive through a partner or affiliate link, we store a first-party referral code in your browser's local storage for up to 30 days so the referring partner can be credited; this code is first-party only and is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. We do not use advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies. If we introduce any such non-essential technologies in the future, we will request your consent where required and update this Policy.

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for core site functionality, security, authentication, and fraud prevention.
• Performance and analytics (currently cookieless): we use privacy-friendly, aggregated analytics that does not store cookies or identifiers on your device.
• Preference cookies: remember settings such as language and interface choices.
• Referral attribution (first-party, in use): if you arrive via a partner or affiliate link, a first-party referral code is stored in your browser's local storage for up to 30 days so we can credit the referring partner. It is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

4. Legal Basis and Consent

Where required by law, we request consent before placing non-essential cookies and provide controls to change or withdraw consent.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where permitted because they are required to provide requested services securely.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party providers that support hosting, analytics, support, billing, fraud detection, or communications.

Third-party processing is governed by contractual obligations and applicable data protection law.

6. Managing Cookie Choices

Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality, sign-in behavior, or service quality.
