Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how DocuLib, available at doculib.xyz, uses cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics identifiers, and similar technologies when users worldwide browse, search, upload, download, sign in, or interact with the website. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website or browser. They help a website remember information about your visit, such as login status, preferences, security settings, or browsing activity. Similar technologies may store information in local storage, session storage, device identifiers, or analytics tags.
3. Why We Use Cookies
DocuLib uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, improve the document library experience, understand how users interact with documents and categories, and protect the service. For example, cookies may help keep you signed in, remember search preferences, prevent repeated security checks, or measure which categories are most useful to visitors.
4. Types of Cookies We May Use
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Examples of Use on DocuLib |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | Required for core website functions and security. | Maintaining sessions, enabling sign-in, preventing abuse, securing upload forms, and supporting basic navigation. |
| Preference Cookies | Remember choices that improve usability. | Saving language preferences, display settings, recently used categories, or search interface choices. |
| Analytics Cookies | Help us understand website usage and improve performance. | Measuring page views, document views, search terms, category popularity, download activity, and error patterns. |
| Functionality Cookies | Support enhanced features and personalized experiences. | Remembering recently viewed documents, helping recommend related resources, or improving upload workflows. |

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by DocuLib. These may be used for login, preferences, security, and core site functionality. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers that help us with analytics, hosting, security, embedded content, file previews, advertising, or other operational tools.
Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies. DocuLib does not control all third-party cookie practices, and users should review the policies of relevant third-party services where applicable.
6. Cookies and User Accounts
If you create an account or sign in to DocuLib, cookies may be used to authenticate your session, keep you signed in, protect your account, remember account preferences, and detect suspicious activity. If you disable certain necessary cookies, account features may not function correctly.
7. Cookies and Uploaded Documents
When you upload, preview, categorize, rate, or download documents, cookies and similar technologies may help us maintain the upload session, remember form progress, prevent spam, measure file popularity, and improve document discovery. These technologies do not change your responsibility to ensure that uploads comply with our Terms of Service and applicable law.
8. Managing Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to delete cookies, block cookies, receive alerts before cookies are stored, or limit cookies from specific websites. Browser controls vary, so you should review the help pages for your browser or device.
If DocuLib provides a cookie banner or preference center, you may also use that tool to manage optional cookies. Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for the website to operate securely and properly.
9. Consequences of Disabling Cookies
If you disable cookies, some parts of DocuLib may not work as intended. You may be unable to stay signed in, upload documents, save preferences, access certain document features, complete security checks, or receive a consistent browsing experience. Search and category browsing may still work in limited form depending on your browser settings.
10. Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar preference signals. Because there is no single universally adopted standard for responding to these signals, DocuLib may not respond to every such signal in the same way. Where legally required or technically supported, we may honor recognized privacy preference signals.
11. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, website features, analytics tools, advertising practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. The updated policy will show a revised effective date. Continued use of DocuLib after updates are posted means you acknowledge the revised policy.
