1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners.
Types of Cookies
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They enable website features during your visit. |
| Persistent Cookies | Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences for future visits. |
| First-Party Cookies | Set by the website you are visiting (in this case, enigmalab.io). |
| Third-Party Cookies | Set by external services embedded on our website (such as Intercom). |
Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:
- Local Storage — Stores data in your browser with no expiration date
- Session Storage — Stores data only for the duration of your browser session
- Web Beacons/Pixels — Small invisible images used to track page views or email opens
Cookies, pixels and similar tracking technologies that involve the processing of personal data are also addressed by Regulation 9 of the DP Regulations (Collection and Use of Personal Data in Digital Communications and Services), which sets specific requirements for notice, default settings and consent.
2. How We Use Cookies
Enigma Labs Technology Limited uses cookies to:
- Ensure website functionality — Enable core features like region routing, security, and consent management
- Remember your preferences — Store language settings and consent choices
- Provide live chat support — Enable our Intercom chat functionality when you consent to Functional cookies
Our Privacy-First Approach
We believe in data minimisation and privacy by design, consistent with the principles set out in the DP Law and Regulation 9.2 of the DP Regulations (default settings limited to the minimum personal data necessary). Our cookie usage reflects this commitment:
| Feature | Our Approach |
|---|---|
| Analytics | None deployed — we do not run any analytics on this site |
| Advertising | None — we don't use any advertising cookies |
| Tracking | None — no cross-site tracking or profiling |
| Data Sharing | None — we don't sell or share data with advertisers |
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Cookie Categories Summary
| Category | Consent Required | Maximum Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | No | 1 year | Essential for the website to function. Cannot be disabled. |
| Functional | Yes | 9 months | Enable enhanced features and personalisation. |
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website and platform to function. They cannot be disabled in our cookie consent tool. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. We rely on these cookies on the basis that their use is necessary for the performance of the service you have requested when visiting our website, in accordance with the lawful processing conditions of the DP Law.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
geoDecision | Enigma Labs Technology Limited | Stores the signed regional routing decision (region, scoring metadata, preferred legal language, issued-at timestamp) used to deliver the correct regional entity content; signed with HMAC | 24 hours | HTTP (Secure, HttpOnly) |
region | Enigma Labs Technology Limited | Records the visitor's resolved region so subsequent requests do not need to re-resolve | 1 year | HTTP |
userCountry | Enigma Labs Technology Limited | Records the visitor's ISO-3166 country code derived from request headers | 24 hours | HTTP |
preferredLegalLanguage | Enigma Labs Technology Limited | Records the visitor's chosen legal-document language; set only on legal-document paths in the EU region | 30 days | HTTP |
c15t | Enigma Labs Technology Limited (via c15t) | Records cookie-consent preferences and the disclosure shown at the time of those choices; mirrored in browser local storage. Set only after you make a consent decision via the banner or settings dialog. | 365 days | HTTP (SameSite=Lax, Secure on HTTPS, host-only) |
Why these are necessary:
geoDecision— Stores the signed routing decision needed to deliver the correct regional version of the site. The cookie is signed (HMAC) and HttpOnly + Secure. Without it the regional content (legal entity, contact details, applicable policies) cannot be reliably served.region— Records the resolved region so each subsequent request does not have to re-evaluate geo signals.userCountry— Records the visitor's country code for region-aware content (currency-of-context metadata, regulatory references).preferredLegalLanguage— Records the visitor's chosen legal-document language so subsequent visits to legal pages render in the correct language. Set only on EU legal-document paths.c15t— Required to record your cookie consent choices and the disclosure shown at the time. Without it we cannot honour refusal of non-essential cookies on subsequent page loads. The same data is also mirrored in your browser's local storage so consent is preserved if cookies are cleared but storage is retained.
3.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies and similar browser-storage technologies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They are loaded via our consent management platform (c15t), which only loads the underlying provider's script after you have granted Functional consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer, in which case the cookies and storage are cleared.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
intercom-id-* | Intercom | Identifies user for live chat support | No expiry (until cleared) | First-party cookie; also mirrored to browser local storage |
intercom-session-* | Intercom | Maintains live chat session state | 1 week | HTTP cookie |
intercom-device-id-* | Intercom | Identifies device for chat continuity (rolling refresh) | ~9 months (270 days) | HTTP cookie |
What these enable:
- Live chat functionality — Seamless support experience with conversation history. Intercom is loaded only after you have given Functional consent, and is shut down (and its cookies / storage cleared) when you withdraw consent.
4. Cookies We Do NOT Use
Unlike many websites, we do NOT use any advertising or marketing cookies. Specifically, we do not:
| What We Don't Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Run retargeting campaigns | No ads following you around the web |
| Use Google Ads | No Google tracking pixels |
| Use Facebook Pixel | No Meta/Facebook tracking |
| Use LinkedIn Insight Tag | No professional profile tracking |
| Share data with advertising networks | Your data stays with us |
| Build advertising profiles | No behavioural profiling |
| Sell visitor data | Your information is never sold |
Our commitment: As a cybersecurity company, we believe in practising what we preach. Your privacy is not for sale.
5. Cookie Consent
5.1 How We Obtain Consent
Enigma Labs Technology Limited uses c15t, a consent management platform that records each visitor's cookie-consent choices and the disclosure shown at the time those choices were made. c15t blocks non-essential cookies until you have given consent and re-prompts you when material changes are made to our cookie use.

| Service | Opt-Out Method |
|---|---|
| Intercom | Intercom Privacy Portal or disable functional cookies in our settings |
7. Third-Party Services
We use a limited number of third-party services that may set cookies. Here's detailed information about each:
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy | Opt-Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intercom | Live chat support | Intercom Privacy | Disable functional cookies |
7.1 Intercom (Live Chat)
Purpose: Provides live chat functionality for customer support
Data collected:
- Anonymous user ID for chat continuity
- Chat conversation history
- Device identifier for session management
Role: Intercom acts as our processor in respect of the chat conversation data and user-identifier data we collect through its chat service (where we determine the purposes and means of processing). Intercom may additionally act as an independent controller in respect of certain platform telemetry and product analytics it generates in the operation of the chat service itself. The role allocation between Enigma and Intercom is governed by Intercom's data processing agreement and product terms, as in force from time to time.
Data location: Intercom processes data in the United States. The United States is not currently on the Commissioner of Data Protection's list of jurisdictions assessed as providing an adequate level of protection (see Appendix 3 of the DP Regulations). Transfers of personal data from Enigma Labs Technology Limited (DIFC) to Intercom (United States) are therefore made under appropriate contractual safeguards under the appropriate-safeguards regime of the DP Law and Regulation 5 of the DP Regulations, including the Standard Contractual Clauses approved and published by the Commissioner.
Data retention: Device identifier (intercom-device-id-*): ~9 months (270 days) — first-party cookie. Session identifier (intercom-session-*): 1 week — first-party cookie. User identifier (intercom-id-*): first-party cookie with no expiry (until cleared by the user); also mirrored to browser local storage.
How to opt out: Disable "Functional Cookies" in our cookie settings or contact Intercom through their Privacy Portal
8. Do Not Track
What are Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC)?
Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) are browser signals that communicate your preference not to be tracked. DNT is the older mechanism, sent as a request header; GPC is a newer specification with growing legal recognition. GPC is exposed both as a request header (Sec-GPC) and a JavaScript property (navigator.globalPrivacyControl).
Our response to these signals
| Aspect | Our Approach |
|---|---|
| Global Privacy Control (GPC) | Our consent management platform (c15t) recognises GPC and treats it as an automatic refusal of non-essential cookie categories where the underlying legal regime supports it |
| Do Not Track (DNT) | We do not implement specific behaviour for the legacy DNT header. The same outcome (refuse non-essential cookies) is achievable via our cookie banner or settings dialog |
| Third-Party Cookies | Intercom does not currently respect GPC or DNT in all cases; we therefore only load it after explicit Functional consent regardless of either signal |
| Essential Cookies | Still required for website functionality regardless of GPC or DNT |
Alternative options
If your browser doesn't expose GPC or you want additional control:
- Use our cookie consent banner or "Cookie Settings" link to reject non-essential cookies
- Install privacy-focused browser extensions (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger)
- Use browser settings to block third-party cookies
- Use private / incognito browsing mode
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:
- Changes in the cookies we use
- New third-party services
- Changes in legal requirements (including changes to the DP Law, the DP Regulations or guidance issued by the Commissioner of Data Protection)
- Improvements to our privacy practices
How We Notify You of Changes
| Change Type | Notification Method |
|---|---|
| Minor updates (clarifications, typo fixes) | Updated date in document header |
| Material changes (new cookie categories, new third parties) | Cookie banner re-display + email to registered users |
| Version changes | Document version number incremented |
Version History
| Version | Date | Changes |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | January 22, 2026 | Initial release |
| 2.0 | May 19, 2026 | Rewrite to align disclosures with the DIFC Data Protection Law, DIFC Law No. 5 of 2020 (as amended by DIFC Law No. 2 of 2022) and the DIFC Data Protection Regulations (Consolidated Version No. 2, in force 1 September 2023). Removed references to legal frameworks that do not apply to Enigma Labs Technology Limited as a DIFC-incorporated controller; added the Commissioner of Data Protection as the supervisory authority; clarified cross-border transfer mechanisms for Intercom (United States) and Plausible (European Union). |
| 2.1 | May 19, 2026 | Walk-through refinements: expanded the strict-necessity reasoning for each cookie in §3.1; clarified Intercom's dual processor / independent-controller role in §7.1; restated DP Law citations descriptively in §7.1, §7.3 and §10 pending counsel verification of specific article numbers. |
| 3.0 | May 19, 2026 | Engineering reconciliation: installed c15t as the consent management platform; gated Intercom behind explicit Functional consent; removed cookies and third-party services that were described in v2.x but not actually deployed (PHPSESSID/csrf_token/__Host-session/cc_cookie/locale/lang/plausible_ignore/X cookies, plus the entire Plausible and X share-button sections); added the c15t consent-state cookie to the strictly-necessary inventory; restated intercom-id-* as a first-party cookie with localStorage mirror (correcting v3.0's earlier classification as localStorage-only); reframed §8 around Global Privacy Control (GPC) alongside the legacy DNT signal; narrowed the Regulation 10 attribution to the human-intervention right; fixed the /terms URL to /tos. |
Current version: 3.0 (Last updated: May 19, 2026)
We recommend reviewing this policy periodically. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
10. Your Rights
Where personal data is processed through cookies or similar technologies described in this policy, you have the rights set out in the DIFC Data Protection Law, DIFC Law No. 5 of 2020 (as amended). These rights include, subject to the conditions and limitations set out in the DP Law:
