1. Introduction
Tarkle operates tarkle.com, pentler.com, and all Tarkle products including Send, Portal, Crew, and Pentler. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and what choices you have.
2. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites recognise your device across requests and sessions, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the platform. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain on your device for a defined period (persistent cookies).
We also use similar technologies such as local storage. Where we refer to cookies in this policy, this includes similar technologies unless stated otherwise.
3. How we use cookies
3.1 Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for the platform to function. Without them, you cannot log in, access your workspace, or use core features. We do not require your consent to set essential cookies because they are strictly necessary to provide the service.
3.2 Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as language preference or display settings. These do not track your activity across other websites.
3.3 Analytics cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how users interact with Tarkle. These are chosen for minimal data collection and are not used for advertising purposes.
Vercel Analytics collects anonymised performance and page load data to help us identify and fix technical issues. It does not create individual user profiles or track individuals across websites.
Google Analytics is used on some Tarkle properties for aggregated, anonymised measurement of usage patterns. It is configured without advertising features. No personally identifiable information is shared with advertising networks through Google Analytics.
We do not use advertising cookies. We do not allow third-party advertisers to set cookies on any Tarkle product.
