What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
- Cookies: Small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) by your browser when you visit a website.
- Local & Session Storage: Technologies built into your web browser that allow us to store data locally on your device to keep your sessions active, improve performance, and remember your preferences.
- Server-Side Logged Events: Network interactions recorded directly on our servers (such as processing an IP address to determine general location) that do not store any files on your local device.
How Slidyo Uses Cookies
We use cookies and browser storage mechanisms to achieve the following operational goals:
- Authentication: Keeping you securely signed into your Slidyo account and Team Workspaces.
- Security: Preventing unauthorized account access, mitigating cross-site scripting attacks, and detecting fraudulent activities.
- Preferences: Saving your preferred display settings, interface layouts, and language options.
- Platform Functionality: Facilitating the live creation, formatting, and real-time saving of your documents.
- Payment Processing: Connecting with our authorized reseller to ensure secure checkout workflows.
Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary
These technologies are critical for core platform features. Without them, basic security, user login, and presentation editing tools cannot function. Because they are legally exempt from consent requirements, they are enabled automatically.
- Disabling Impact: Turning these off via your browser settings will prevent you from signing in or using Slidyo's services.
3.2 Functional
Functional tracking allows our platform to adapt to your user history. It remembers settings like your regional language preference or workspace configurations so you do not have to reconfigure them every time you return.
3.3 Analytics and Document Engagement
Slidyo provides document creators with specific engagement analytics to help them understand how recipients interact with their shared presentations. Depending on how a presentation is shared, this data can include:
- Document views, access timestamps, and aggregate viewing durations.
- Specific slides viewed, reading progress, and page navigation events.
- Device details, browser versions, and approximate geographic location (derived from IP address).
Consent Approach: Where analytics rely on client-side cookies or browser storage identifiers, we obtain your explicit consent via our cookie banner before activating them. If an environment utilizes strictly server-side logging without setting persistent local tracking identifiers, tracking operates automatically under our legitimate interest to optimize performance and prevent platform abuse.
Paddle Checkout Cookies
Slidyo uses Paddle.com as its authorized online reseller and Merchant of Record for all paid platform subscriptions.
When you navigate to our subscription checkout portal, Paddle initializes its own cookies and local storage items to execute the transaction safely. These technologies handle:
- Secure multi-tiered payment processing.
- Active checkout session preservation.
- Payment anti-fraud tracking and risk evaluation.
- Transaction authentication.
Paddle acts as an independent data controller regarding its payment operational processing. You can review their tracking details directly in the Paddle Privacy Policy. Slidyo never accesses or stores your complete payment card numbers or security codes.
Document Viewers and Shared Presentation Tracking
When a recipient opens a document link generated via Slidyo, our platform logs engagement details to populate the document creator's analytics dashboard.
- Anonymity: Unless the document creator configures explicit identification gates (such as email entry), or you are logged into a Slidyo account while viewing, this data is processed as anonymous or pseudonymous technical telemetry.
- Notice: Slidyo displays a transparent notice on presentation viewing pages where analytics tracking is active. Document creators are solely responsible for deploying legally compliant sharing configurations and securing any necessary direct recipient permissions required by their local jurisdictions.
