1. Overview
This Cookie Preferences page explains the choices available for cookies and similar technologies on cloudsysllc.com. It is intended to work together with the CloudSys Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy. The Cookie Policy provides additional detail about the technologies currently used, and the Privacy Policy explains CloudSys's broader processing of personal information.
CloudSys uses a limited set of browser-storage and security technologies to operate the website, remember your cookie choice, protect the contact form and AI assistant from automated abuse, and remember for a short period that a form has been successfully submitted.
CloudSys does not currently use website analytics, advertising cookies, cross-site behavioral advertising, profiling technologies, session-replay analytics, or social-media tracking pixels.
4. Strictly Necessary
Status: Always active.
Strictly necessary technologies support functions required to operate or secure the website or provide a feature that you request. CloudSys currently uses necessary technologies to remember your cookie choice, protect the assessment form and AI assistant against automated abuse and fraud, apply server-side rate limits, and remember briefly that an assessment form was successfully submitted.
These technologies are not used by CloudSys for behavioral advertising, cross-site tracking, or audience profiling. Because they support requested functionality, security, or consent management, they cannot be disabled through the CloudSys preference center. You may still be able to block or delete them through your browser, but doing so can prevent protected website features from working correctly.
5. Functional
Status: No separate optional functional technologies are currently active.
Functional technologies can support enhanced website features that are useful but not strictly required. Examples can include optional integrations or convenience features that remember how a visitor uses a service.
CloudSys currently does not operate a separate set of optional functional technologies. If CloudSys introduces them, the preference center and Cookie Policy will be updated and the relevant technologies will be controlled according to applicable consent requirements.
6. Analytics
Status: Not currently used.
Analytics technologies can help a website understand audience size, page use, feature performance, navigation patterns, or technical performance. CloudSys currently does not activate Google Analytics, session replay, behavioral analytics, social analytics pixels, or comparable optional website-measurement services.
If analytics technology is introduced later, CloudSys will identify the relevant service and purpose in its cookie disclosures and obtain consent before activation where applicable law requires it.
7. Marketing
Status: Not currently used.
Marketing technologies can support advertising attribution, retargeting, cross-site behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, or the measurement of advertising campaigns. CloudSys currently does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social-media advertising trackers on cloudsysllc.com.
A marketing-category control is maintained as part of the preference-center structure so that any future marketing technology can be placed behind the appropriate choice rather than being added without an applicable consent mechanism.
8. Preference
Status: No separate optional preference technologies are currently active.
Preference technologies can remember nonessential visitor choices, personalization settings, or display options. The existing first-party cookie that remembers your cookie-consent decision is treated as necessary consent-management technology rather than as an optional preference cookie.
If CloudSys later introduces nonessential preference technologies, the preference center will identify and control them as appropriate.
9. Browser and Device Controls
Most browsers allow you to inspect, block, or delete cookies and clear local site storage. Browser controls operate independently of the CloudSys preference center. The location and names of those settings vary by browser and device.
If you delete cloudsys_cookie_consent_v4, CloudSys may no longer be able to remember your previous cookie choice and the cookie interface may appear again. If you clear the one-hour form-submission local-storage value, the assessment form may reappear following a refresh.
Blocking all browser storage or security technology may prevent protected functions, including form submission or access to the AI assistant, from operating as intended.
10. Global Privacy Control
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a browser or device signal intended to communicate certain privacy opt-out preferences. CloudSys does not currently sell website personal information or use website technologies for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising, so a GPC signal does not presently change advertising-cookie behavior on cloudsysllc.com.
If CloudSys later engages in processing for which applicable law requires recognition of GPC or another qualifying universal opt-out mechanism, CloudSys intends to recognize the applicable signal as required and update the relevant privacy and cookie disclosures.
11. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting. There is no single universally adopted legal or technical standard that requires all websites to respond to DNT in the same way. CloudSys does not currently use behavioral advertising or website analytics tracking, so DNT does not presently change those forms of tracking on cloudsysllc.com.
12. Current Technology Inventory
| Technology | Provider | Storage / Duration | Purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cloudsys_cookie_consent_v4 | CloudSys | First-party cookie; up to 1 year | Remembers whether the visitor selected all available categories or necessary-only preferences. | Strictly Necessary |
| Form-submission timestamp | CloudSys | Local storage; 1 hour | Remembers a successful assessment-form submission so the form does not immediately reappear after refresh. | Necessary / Functional |
| Turnstile security technologies | Cloudflare | Security technology; vendor/security dependent | Bot, fraud, and automated-abuse prevention for the assessment form and first chatbot message. | Strictly Necessary |
CloudSys does not use persistent browser storage to retain website AI-assistant conversation content. The browser chat-session token is discarded on page refresh, and the refreshed page cannot retrieve the previous conversation from browser storage.
13. Preference Center Interface Copy
The following wording is the user-facing content for the CloudSys cookie preference center. The interface presents the same substantive information whether displayed as a full page, modal, drawer, or other accessible preference-management component.
13.1. Preference Center Header
13.2. Introductory Copy
13.3. Category Cards and Toggle Copy
13.4. Primary Controls
| Button / Link | Label | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Primary positive action | Accept All | Records acceptance for the optional categories currently presented by the preference center. Necessary technologies remain active. |
| Primary privacy-preserving action | Reject Optional | Records a necessary-only preference. No optional category is enabled. |
| Customized action | Save Preferences | Saves the visitor's selected category settings. |
| Preference-entry control | Customize | Opens the detailed cookie preference center. |
| Persistent footer link | Cookie Preferences | Reopens the preference center so the visitor can review or change the recorded choice. |
| Alternative footer wording | Cookie Choices | May be used instead of “Cookie Preferences” if CloudSys prefers the shorter label. |
13.5. Preference Center Footer Copy
14. Messages and Confirmation States
The preference interface provides a clear confirmation after a visitor records or changes a choice. The following messages apply to these states.
| State | Message |
|---|---|
| Preferences saved | Your cookie preferences have been saved. |
| Necessary only | Your preference has been saved. Only necessary technologies will remain active. |
| All available categories accepted | Your cookie preferences have been saved. |
| Preferences updated | Your cookie preferences have been updated. |
| Preference reset after cookie deletion | We could not find a saved cookie preference for this browser. Please choose your settings. |
| Protected feature blocked by browser | A required security or browser-storage technology appears to be blocked. Please allow necessary technologies to use this feature. |
14.1. Short Consent Banner Wording
14.2. Preference Modal Wording
14.3. Withdrawal of Consent
Visitors can change or withdraw an optional-cookie choice at any time by reopening Cookie Preferences from the website footer and selecting a different option. The updated choice should replace the prior value stored in cloudsys_cookie_consent_v4.
Withdrawal should apply prospectively. It does not make previous lawful processing invalid, and it may not remove information that a third party was lawfully required to retain. Where an optional technology is active, CloudSys will stop that technology after withdrawal to the extent technically and legally required.
15. Future Changes
CloudSys may update the categories and preference-center content when website technology changes. Before deploying materially new optional analytics, advertising, profiling, personalization, or similar tracking technologies, CloudSys will update its Cookie Policy and preference center and implement any consent controls required by applicable law.
The presence of an “Accept All” preference from an earlier visit should not be treated as unrestricted consent to an undisclosed materially different purpose. CloudSys will seek renewed consent where the nature or purpose of optional processing changes enough that applicable law requires a new choice.
