1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage Technologies?
Cookies are compact text files placed onto your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely utilized across the Internet to enable websites to function securely, remember your session credentials, preserve layout preferences, and furnish analytical insights to site operators.
In addition to standard HTTP cookies, modern web platforms utilize related client-side storage technologies, including HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage. Throughout this policy, references to “cookies” encompass both traditional server-set cookies and browser local storage records managed by BYS Technologies F.Z.E on bystechnologies.com.
2. Why BYS Technologies Uses Cookies
BYS Technologies deploys web storage technologies solely for targeted, legitimate operational purposes:
- Perimeter Defense & Security: Defending our network infrastructure and APIs against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assaults, malicious automated bot scans, and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).
- Consent State Management: Recording your exact cookie consent choices so our banner does not repeatedly intrude on your browsing experience on subsequent page visits.
- Interface Personalization: Preserving your selected software licensing viewing mode (e.g., Cloud SaaS Subscription vs. On-Premise Product) and interactive architecture configurator settings across navigation transitions.
- Aggregated Performance Analytics: Measuring page load speeds, server response latencies, and anonymized navigation flows to maintain optimal digital reliability across the UAE and internationally.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Category A: Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
Always ActiveThese cookies and storage records are indispensable for the fundamental operation of our website and digital software portals. They enable secure session management, cryptographic security token validation, Cloudflare DDoS shielding, and recording of your cookie consent status. Because the website cannot function properly without them, they cannot be switched off in our preference center.
Category B: Functional & Preference Cookies
Optional (Opt-In)These storage keys allow our website to remember choices you make while exploring solutions—such as preserving active tabs in our 5-pillar architecture explorer or retaining your configured scope in our 3-step solution configurator across visits. If disabled, advanced interactive configurators will reset upon page reload.
Category C: Analytics & Performance Cookies
Optional (Opt-In)Analytics storage allows us to track aggregated, anonymized metrics such as page load duration, total unique page views, and edge server routing efficiency. These records never profile individual visitors or collect marketing dossiers. They are only loaded if you explicitly toggle them on in our Cookie Preferences Modal.
