Last updated: April 2026
This page explains how Shards Cybersecurity uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. By continuing to use the site you consent to the use of strictly necessary cookies. Optional cookies are only used after you have given consent via our cookie banner.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
2. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |

| shards-cookie-consent | Stores your cookie banner choice. | Strictly necessary | Persistent (localStorage) |
3. Third-party services that load on this site
We use a small number of third-party services on this marketing website. Neither of them sets first-party cookies on shardscybersecurity.io, but both deserve a clear disclosure:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics — a cookieless beacon (
static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js) that counts page views per route. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no personal data; GDPR-friendly by design and does not require consent. - Google Maps embed — only on the /contact page, used to display the Bratislava office location. The Google Maps iframe loads from Google's domains and may set its own cookies subject to Google's privacy policy. If you do not visit /contact, no Google Maps cookies are set.
Both services are described in more depth on /trust under “About this website”. The Supply Chain Assurance product's sub-processors are listed separately on the same page.
4. How to control cookies
You can clear your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain. Most browsers also let you block cookies entirely; see the About Cookies site for instructions.
