Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how certXpress uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and secure portal.

Last updated: February 27, 2026

1) What this policy covers

We use cookies that are strictly necessary to deliver the service you request (secure login, session continuity, and abuse prevention). We do not use analytics, advertising, or social media tracking cookies.

Essential cookies do not require consent under EU guidance, but we provide this disclosure for transparency. Blocking these cookies will prevent login and certificate retrieval.
2) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. They help a site function, remain secure, and remember certain information between requests. Some cookies are essential for a service you request (e.g., authentication); others support analytics or advertising. certXpress uses only essential cookies.

3) Cookies we use (strictly necessary)
Cookie Name Purpose Type Duration
AuthToken Encrypted, signed authentication/session state required to sign in and access certificates. First‑party, essential Session or configured expiry
__RequestVerificationToken Anti‑CSRF token cookie required to validate form posts and protect your session. First‑party, essential Session
cid Correlation identifier used to detect rapid IP rotation and abusive automation, enabling short‑term soft blocks where appropriate. First‑party, essential Up to 2 years (sliding)

Important: If you block or delete these cookies, you will be unable to sign in or retrieve certificates because core security features will not work.

4) IP addresses and similar identifiers

We process IP addresses for security (rate limiting, abuse/rotation detection, temporary blocks) and service reliability. We do not use IP addresses for advertising or cross‑site tracking.

5) No analytics or advertising cookies

certXpress does not deploy analytics, marketing pixels, or social media trackers. If our practices change in the future, we will update this policy and—where required—obtain consent before setting any non‑essential cookies.

6) Managing cookies

You can control cookies in your browser settings. Blocking our essential cookies will prevent login and certificate retrieval.

7) Region‑specific notes
  • EU/EEA & UK: Essential cookies listed above fall under the “strictly necessary” exemption; we provide notice via this policy and our banner.
  • United States: We do not sell or share personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising and do not use advertising cookies.
