Skyfire Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 25, 2025
Introduction
Skyfire uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site“) and the Skyfire service (the “Service“) to operate and administer the Site and Service, gather usage and performance data and deliver targeted advertising to you. This is described in more detail below.
This Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy“) provides information about how and when we use cookies and similar technologies and the choices that you have. We may use cookies and similar technologies to collect Personal Data or information that becomes Personal Data if we combine it with other information. In such cases, our Privacy Policy at www.skyfire.xyz/privacy-policy will apply in addition to this Cookie Policy.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies. A cookie is a piece of information sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use an online service. Cookies can help a website like ours recognize repeat users and allow a website to track web usage behavior. They also allow us to share activity on our website with third party partners, including advertising partners. For more details on cookies and similar technologies please visit All About Cookies.
Cookies can be stored on your device for different periods of time. “Session cookies” only last for as long as the browser session and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. “Persistent cookies” survive after your browser is closed until a defined expiration date set in the cookie (as determined by the party placing it) and help recognize your device when you open your browser and browse the site again. For example, if you log in to the Service, we use “persistent cookies” to save your registration ID and login password for future logins. We use “session ID cookies” to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how you interact with the Service, and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Service.
Cookies set by Skyfire on the Site and Service are called “first party cookies“. Cookies set by parties other than Skyfire are called “third party cookies“. Third party cookies typically enable certain third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through websites or services (such as, advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize an individual’s device both when they visit the website or use the service in question and also when they visit certain other websites.
Web beacons / pixels. Pixel tags are a technology similar to cookies that can be embedded in online content or within the body of an email for the purpose of tracking activity on websites (for example, to know when content has been shown to you), or to know when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message. We also use pixel tags, from the third parties described in the “Analytics / Pixels” section below, to get information about your usage of the Site, and to determine whether you interacted with email or other communications.
Fingerprinting. Fingerprinting involves combining a set of features or characteristics from a device or browser in order to uniquely identify you. We may use fingerprinting on the Service for fraud detection purposes.
Caching and local storage. We also use caching and local storage in your browser for account security and fraud prevention purposes, for example, to allow us to detect if you are using a new device or an abnormal number of new devices to sign into the Service.

Your choices
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies that are not essential. You can exercise your cookie preferences by following the steps below.
On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive a notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. Please see the links below for guidance on how to modify your web browser’s settings on the most popular browsers:
You may also manage or opt-out of cookies by using the links provided by the third parties in the cookie table above.
For advertising and marketing cookies, our advertising partners may participate in associations that provide simple ways to opt out of ad targeting, which you can access at:
• Canada: Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada
• Europe: European Digital Advertising Alliance
These choices are specific to the browser you are using. If you access our services from other devices or browsers, take these actions from those systems to ensure your choices apply to the data collected when you use those systems.
For email web beacons, most email clients have settings which allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, including web beacons, which prevents the automatic connection to the web servers that host those images.
Please note that if you reject cookies or turn cookies off, you may be unable to access certain parts of the Site or the Service and you may not be able to benefit from the full functionality of the Site or the Service.
In many instances, other tracking technologies (such as pixel tags) are reliant on cookies to function properly and so they may be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use. We will post the amended version on the Site and revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy. Unless otherwise required by applicable laws, this will serve as your notification of these changes.
