Cookie Policy

Rubikon Applied Defense Labs uses cookies and similar technical mechanisms to support secure operation, maintain system integrity, and enable optional website functionality. Cookies are deployed in a controlled and limited manner and are not used for advertising, behavioral profiling, or commercial data exploitation. This policy describes the categories of cookies in use, the purposes they serve, and the mechanisms available to users for managing their preferences.

Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the secure and reliable operation of the website. These cookies support essential functions such as session management, request validation, security monitoring, abuse prevention, and protection of communication channels. The use of strictly necessary cookies is mandatory, as disabling them would impair the website’s ability to function securely and may prevent access to core features or content.

In addition to strictly necessary cookies, the website may use functional cookies that support enhanced performance, usage analysis, and non-essential operational features. These cookies are used to better understand how the website is accessed and utilized, to improve system performance, and to support optional functionality beyond core security and availability requirements. Functional cookies are not used to track users across websites, build behavioral profiles, or identify individuals beyond the context of the active website session.

The use of functional cookies is subject to user consent. Users are provided with a mechanism that allows them to grant, refuse, or modify consent preferences for non-essential cookies at any time. Consent is recorded and managed within the user’s browser environment and may be adjusted through the provided preferences interface. No consent data is stored for advertising or marketing purposes, and no third-party analytics or tracking platforms are used.

All cookies used by the website are either first-party cookies or internally managed mechanisms. The website does not deploy third-party advertising cookies, social media tracking technologies, or external analytics services. Video content is hosted and delivered directly by the organization. Fonts are provided via Google Fonts; no additional Google services, tracking tools, or analytics products are integrated into the website.

Data collected through cookies, whether strictly necessary or functional, is processed solely for security, operational, and performance-related purposes. This includes monitoring system stability, detecting anomalous activity, diagnosing technical issues, and supporting continuous improvement of website functionality. Cookie-derived data is not repurposed for marketing, profiling, or unrelated analysis and is retained only for as long as required to fulfill its operational purpose.

Users may withdraw or modify their consent for functional cookies at any time through the website’s cookie preference controls. Users may also manage cookies through standard browser settings, including deletion or blocking, with the understanding that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality or availability. Requests for information or deletion of data associated with cookie processing may be submitted to the organization’s designated data protection contact.

Privacy- and cookie-related inquiries, consent questions, and data removal requests should be directed to complaints@rubikonsystems.com. This contact channel is responsible for addressing all matters related to cookie usage and data protection within the organization.

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in technical implementation, security requirements, or regulatory considerations. Any revisions will be published on this page and will apply from the date of publication.
