Cookie Policy
Our Cookie Approach: We believe in privacy by design. Unlike most platforms, we use zero third-party tracking cookies. Our site is designed for institutional clients who demand privacy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and essential functionality.
2. Cookies We Use
We use only ESSENTIAL cookies — those required for the website to function securely and properly:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your logged-in session for secure portal access | Session | Essential |
| csrf_token | Cross-Site Request Forgery protection for form submissions | Session | Essential |
| auth_token | Authenticates institutional clients accessing the verification platform | 30 days | Essential |
| cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie preference selection | 1 year | Essential |
3. What We Don't Use
We deliberately avoid:
- Analytics Cookies: No Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or similar tracking
- Advertising Cookies: No targeted ads or behavioral profiling
- Social Media Cookies: No Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, Twitter Tracker
- Third-Party Scripts: No embedded widgets that track users across sites
- Fingerprinting: No canvas fingerprinting or device fingerprinting
4. Essential Cookie Justification
Under applicable data protection laws (Hong Kong PDPO, Singapore PDPA, UAE PDPL), essential cookies are exempt from consent requirements because they are:
- Necessary for the provision of our service (secure authentication)
- Required for technical security (CSRF protection)
- Essential for maintaining trusted verification sessions (regulatory requirement)
5. Managing Cookies
You can control cookie settings through:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block all cookies or delete existing cookies
- Private/Incognito Mode: Browsing in private mode prevents cookie storage
- Our Preference Center: Contact us to manage your cookie preferences
Note: Disabling essential cookies will prevent access to authenticated features of our platform (verification portal, data room access).
6. Third-Party Services
Our website may contain links to third-party services. This Cookie Policy applies only to Truth Meter-owned pages, not to third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
