1. Third parties

Third-party tools on this site may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded media or analytics features that you explicitly enable. We list the categories we permit and describe how vendors process data in aggregate form. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use cookies to re-identify players visiting our consulting pages. When a vendor updates their processing purposes, we review this section and adjust disclosures within a reasonable timeframe so you are not surprised by silent changes.

2. Categories

We group cookies into essential, functional, analytics, and preference cookies. Essential cookies keep sessions secure and remember cookie choices themselves. Functional cookies remember layout preferences such as dashboard density on large screens. Analytics cookies help us see which articles and consulting briefs are read most often. Preference cookies store newsletter interest selections when you ask us to remember them for return visits.

3. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They can be session-based, disappearing when you close the browser, or persistent, expiring on a set date. Pixels and similar technologies may act alongside cookies. We describe them together here because the controls are similar for most browsers. This explanation is written in plain language on purpose; it is not a substitute for legal advice about your own compliance program.

4. Consent

Where Korean and applicable international rules require consent for non-essential cookies, we block those cookies until you opt in through the on-site banner. Withdrawing consent is as simple as clearing stored preferences or using the preference link we provide. Essential cookies remain because the site cannot function without them. We log consent timestamps in a minimal form to demonstrate accountability to regulators if asked.

5. Contact

Questions about cookies or this policy can be emailed to contact@insightlogic.one. If you represent a data protection authority, please include reference materials so we can route your request to the correct internal owner without unnecessary delay.

6. Preferences

You can reopen cookie preferences by clearing site data or contacting us for a manual reset if your browser blocks local storage. Browser vendors publish their own instructions for blocking third-party cookies; those instructions may affect embedded content that is not controlled by ShardScale Insight. We test major desktop browsers but cannot guarantee identical behavior on every fork or preview build.

7. Storage duration

Session cookies expire when you end the browsing session. Preference cookies expire after twelve months unless renewed by a new consent action. Analytics aggregates are retained according to our analytics vendor configuration, typically rolling thirteen months, after which identifiers are rotated or dropped.

8. Browser controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies site by site. Aggressive blocking may break dashboard features that rely on remembering safe UI states. If you block all cookies, you may need to reconfirm essential notices more frequently, which is inconvenient but technically expected.

9. Children

This site describes professional consulting services and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly place non-essential cookies to profile minors. If you believe a minor provided data through a form, contact us and we will delete the submission where law allows.

10. Updates to this policy

We revise this cookie policy when our processing changes materially. The last updated date at the top reflects the most recent substantive edit. Minor clarifications, such as grammar or formatting, may occur without changing the date when no practice change is involved.

11. Lawful bases in context

For readers in jurisdictions beyond Korea, we describe consent and legitimate interests at a high level so you can map controls to your own policies. This section is informational for ShardScale Insight visitors, not legal advice for your studio.

12. Definitions

"Vendor" means an external service we intentionally configure. "Essential" means strictly necessary for security, load balancing, or remembering your cookie decision. Capitalized product names refer to ShardScale Insight offerings described on this marketing site, not separate legal entities.
