Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Nova Vertex LTD (“Nova Vertex”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and comparable tracking technologies when you visit or use our websites, apps, products, and other related offerings (together, the “Services”).

Please read this Cookie Policy alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers further detail on how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal data.

By using or accessing the Services, you accept that cookies and related technologies may be used as described in this Cookie Policy, in line with applicable law and any consent or preference controls available through your browser or device.

Cookies are small text files that a website or online service may place on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit or interact with it.

These technologies allow websites and apps to, among other things:

• Function properly and remain secure
• Keep sessions active and deliver the features you request
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Improve performance and reliability
• Understand how visitors use the Services
• Identify and prevent fraud or unauthorized use

Beyond cookies, we may use other tools such as SDKs, pixels, local or device storage, analytics platforms, and similar technologies.

Where the context allows, any reference to “cookies” in this Policy also covers these related technologies.

The specific cookies and tools in use can vary depending on the Service, platform, device, and features involved.

a. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies and technologies are required to run, secure, and deliver the core functions of the Services.

They may support purposes including:

• Keeping user sessions running
• Enabling login and account features
• Delivering functionality you request
• Supporting security and fraud prevention
• Managing network traffic
• Keeping the Services available
• Recording your privacy or consent choices, where relevant

Since these tools underpin certain features, disabling them may stop parts of the Services from working as intended.

b. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies and similar tools let us remember specific choices and settings so we can offer a more consistent experience.

They may help retain:

• Language choice
• Regional settings
• Interface configuration
• Session-related preferences
• Other feature-related choices

These tools are generally aimed at making the Services easier and more convenient to use.

c. Analytics and Performance Cookies

We may use analytics and performance tools to understand how users engage with the Services and to assess how well they perform.

Depending on the tool, the data gathered may cover:

• Pages or screens viewed
• Features engaged with
• Time spent using the Services
• Navigation and click patterns
• Device details
• Browser details
• Operating system details
• Crash logs
• Performance metrics
• Diagnostic data

This data helps us identify technical problems, understand overall usage trends, gauge performance, and refine the Services.

Where the law requires consent for non-essential analytics tools, we’ll obtain it before use.

d. Security Technologies

We may also use cookies and similar tools for security purposes, such as:

• Spotting suspicious behavior
• Flagging possible fraud
• Blocking unauthorized access
• Safeguarding accounts
• Securing our systems and infrastructure
• Detecting abuse or misuse of the Services
• Assisting security investigations

These tools help keep our Services secure and trustworthy.

Some elements of the Services depend on third-party vendors who deploy their own cookies, SDKs, or similar tools.

These vendors may support functions including:

• Analytics and performance tracking
• Hosting our website and infrastructure
• Cloud computing services
• Customer service
• Processing payments
• Security and fraud protection
• Technical operations support

These vendors handle information under their own privacy and cookie policies, contract terms, and relevant laws.

When purchases or subscriptions run through third-party platforms such as Apple or Stripe, those providers may apply their own technologies for login verification, processing transactions, security, or fraud prevention.

We recommend checking the relevant third-party provider’s own policies for more detail on their data handling.

Most current browsers and devices include settings that let you control cookies and comparable technologies.

Depending on your browser, operating system, device, and location, you may be able to:

• See which cookies are stored
• Remove existing cookies
• Block some or all cookies
• Limit third-party cookies
• Adjust tracking preferences
• Get notified before certain cookies are set
• Change your consent settings through any available consent tool

The exact steps vary by browser and device, so check your own browser or device settings for the options available to you.

Note that disabling essential cookies may make some Service features unavailable or cause them to misbehave.

The legal basis we rely on for using cookies and similar technologies depends on the technology type, its purpose, and the law that applies to you.

Subject to applicable law, we may rely on:

• Your consent
• Our legitimate interests
• The need to deliver Services or features you’ve requested
• Compliance with legal or regulatory duties

If the law requires consent for non-essential cookies, we’ll ask for it before applying the relevant technology.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time using available consent tools, browser or device settings, or other mechanisms we provide.

Withdrawing consent doesn’t retroactively affect the lawfulness of earlier processing.

How long a cookie stays active depends on its purpose and settings.

Session Cookies

Certain cookies are short-lived and typically disappear once you close your browser or end your session.

Persistent Cookies

Other cookies stay on your device for a set period, until they expire, or until you remove them yourself.

Data collected via cookies may be kept for a period based on factors such as:

• Why the data was collected
• The technology involved
• Operational needs
• Security and fraud-prevention needs
• Legal or regulatory obligations
• Our applicable retention rules

We aim to keep data only as long as reasonably needed for its purpose, or as the law otherwise requires or allows.

Because our Services and the vendors we use operate across various countries, information gathered via cookies may be sent to, held in, or processed within countries other than your own.

The privacy laws in those countries may not match those where you live.

Where the law requires it, we put suitable safeguards in place for international transfers, such as contractual clauses or other recognized transfer mechanisms.

More detail on cross-border transfers can be found in our Privacy Policy.

The Services aren’t designed for use by children below age 13, or any higher minimum age set by applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction.

We don’t knowingly use cookies or tracking tools to deliberately gather personal data from children without the necessary parental or guardian consent.

If we learn that a child’s information was collected in breach of applicable rules, we’ll take reasonable steps to address it, including deleting the data where necessary.

We may revise this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes such as:

• Our Services
• The technologies we use
• Our business practices
• Legal or regulatory requirements
• Privacy and security standards

Any revision will be reflected in the “Last updated” date shown at the top of this Policy.

Where legally required, we may give extra notice or request fresh consent before significant changes to our cookie practices take effect.

We suggest checking this Policy from time to time to stay informed about our cookie practices.
