This Cookie Policy explains how SpiderLabs uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our platform.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, login status, and provide analytics.
Example:
When you log into SpiderLabs, we store an authentication cookie so you don't have to log in every time you switch pages. We also remember your theme preference (dark mode vs light mode).

To change your preferences later: Clear your browser cookies and revisit SpiderLabs, or use the cookie settings in your browser (see below).

- If DNT is enabled, we automatically disable analytics cookies

To enable DNT, check your browser's privacy settings.
