Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, or device by websites you visit. Alongside HTTP cookies, modern web platforms utilize client-side storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage to deliver high-performance, responsive developer workflows.

At Profilix (operated by VeriqLabs Inc.), we apply a strict privacy-first standard: we use storage technologies solely to maintain secure authentication sessions, preserve user-selected workspace preferences (such as light or dark mode), and aggregate privacy-preserving analytics. We do not deploy invasive third-party ad trackers or cross-site tracking pixels.

To maintain transparency, we categorize all storage mechanisms deployed across the Profilix platform:

• Strictly Essential (Required): Critical for platform operation, secure account authentication, route guarding, and preventing Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). The Platform cannot function properly without these.
• Functional & Interface Preferences: Remembers your chosen theme (e.g., warm cream or slate dark mode), active studio archetype filters, and collapsed sidebar configurations between sessions.
• Privacy-Preserving Performance Analytics: Measures aggregate platform health, page response times, and anonymous profile view counts without tracking individual users across the Internet.

When you sign in to your Profilix workspace, our backend issues cryptographically signed, secure authentication tokens:

* Note: Disabling strictly essential cookies in your browser settings will prevent you from signing in or saving portfolio modifications.

To ensure an instantaneous, flicker-free interface matching your developer setup, we store interface states in browser localStorage:

• Theme Preferences (theme): Remembers whether you prefer warm cream light mode, dark mode, or system automatic detection.
• Workspace Filter States:Remembers your active portfolio category filter (e.g., “Bento & Creative” vs “Developer & Tech”) and active device preview mode (Desktop vs Mobile).
• Draft Auto-Save: Temporarily caches unsaved resume bullet points or profile edits locally so you never lose work if your connection drops.

One of the core features of Profilix is providing developers with real-time telemetry on their portfolio reach. When a recruiter or visitor visits your portfolio link or scans your QR code:

• Anonymous Counter Tokens:We record lightweight interaction pings (such as “Profile View,” “QR Scan,” or “Resume Download”).
• IP Anonymization: IP addresses are salted and hashed or reduced to country-level geolocation immediately upon arrival. Raw IP addresses are never permanently retained or sold.
• No Retargeting: We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or behavioral tracking SDKs.

When you interact with integrated third-party platforms, they may set their own essential cookies:

• GitHub OAuth: When you connect your GitHub profile to sync stars, repositories, and contributions, GitHub may place session cookies to verify your identity during the OAuth handoff.
• Payment Gateways (Razorpay & Polar.sh): When upgrading to Pro or purchasing a Lifetime Pass, our checkout modal interacts with Razorpay or Polar.sh to securely process your card or UPI payment and prevent fraudulent transactions.
• Cloudinary CDN: Delivers optimized images and QR code PNG buffers with edge caching headers.

You can configure your web browser to accept, block, or delete cookies at any time. Most browsers allow you to:

• View all cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk.
• Block third-party cookies while permitting first-party essential cookies.
• Configure your browser to automatically clear all storage upon closing the window (Private / Incognito browsing).

To manage cookies in common browsers, consult their official documentation:

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect new platform capabilities or regulatory requirements. Any adjustments will be posted directly to this page with an updated timestamp.
