This policy explains how syscastflow.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We believe in transparency about how we collect and use data, and this document will help you understand what happens when you visit our website.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're pretty common across the internet. Think of them as tiny notes that help websites remember things about your visit.
When you come back to our site, these files allow us to recognize your device. This helps us provide you with a better experience without asking you to set your preferences every single time.
Most modern browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can change your settings if you prefer not to. We'll explain how to do that further down.
How We Use Cookies
At syscastflow, we use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This information helps us improve the experience for everyone who visits.
Some cookies are essential for the site to work properly. Others help us analyze traffic patterns so we can see which pages people find useful and which ones might need improvement.

Helping us improve site structure, content, and overall user experience through aggregated data analysis.
Performance Cookies
These track how our site performs when you use it. They help us spot issues like slow-loading pages or errors that might affect your experience.

What Information We Collect
Through cookies, we gather information about your visit that helps us understand usage patterns. This typically includes:
- The pages you visit on our site and how long you spend on them
- How you arrived at our site (from a search engine, another website, or direct link)
- Your device type and browser information
- General location data (country or city level, not your exact address)
- Technical information like screen resolution and operating system
We don't use cookies to collect personally identifiable information like your name or email address unless you voluntarily provide it through our contact forms.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes we use services from other companies that may set their own cookies. For example, if we embed a video or use an analytics service, those providers might place cookies on your device.
We carefully select which third-party services we use, choosing only those that align with our commitment to data protection. However, we don't control how these third parties use their cookies.
If you want to know more about how specific third-party services handle data, we recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over how cookies are used on your device. All major browsers let you manage cookie settings, and you can block or delete cookies at any time.
Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how our website functions. Some features may not work as intended if essential cookies are disabled.
Cookie Duration
Different cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time. Here's how we categorize them:
Session Cookies
These are temporary and disappear when you close your browser. They're helpful for things like keeping you logged in while you navigate between pages during a single visit.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They remember your preferences between visits so you don't have to set everything up again each time.
Our Standard Retention
Most of our persistent cookies expire after 12 months. Some essential cookies may last up to 24 months. We regularly review and clean up old cookie data to maintain privacy standards.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website.
When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you have concerns about how we use cookies.
If you visited our site before and accepted cookies, those preferences will generally remain unless you change your browser settings or we make changes that require renewed consent.
