Why We Don’t Use Tracking Cookies — Ever

In today's digital world, nearly every website you visit asks for your consent to use cookies. These small text files have become synonymous with online tracking, advertising, and analytics. At Sryptos, we've taken a hard stance: we do not use any tracking or analytics cookies. This post explains why this decision is fundamental to our mission.

The Problem with Modern Web Tracking

Most websites use third-party services like Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. These services embed cookies and scripts that track your behavior across different sites, building a detailed profile of your interests, habits, and connections. This data is then used for targeted advertising, content personalization, and sometimes sold to data brokers.

We believe this model is fundamentally broken and antithetical to privacy. When you use a secure messenger, you should have the absolute guarantee that your activity is not being monitored or monetized. It’s a core value at BHK Vision Labs.

The Sryptos Approach: No Analytics, No Ads

Our philosophy is simple: if we don't collect the data, we can't lose it, misuse it, or be forced to hand it over. By rejecting tracking cookies entirely, we ensure that:

• Your activity is private: Who you talk to, when, and for how long is your business, not ours.
• There is no ad profile: We don't build a profile of you, so we can't target you with ads. We don't have ads at all.
• You are not the product: Our service is the product, not your data.

What About Essential Functionality?

You might wonder how we provide features like keeping you logged in or remembering your theme preference. For these strictly necessary functions, we use the browser's `localStorage` or session tokens, not persistent tracking cookies. This is part of the modern web toolkit championed by BHK Vision Labs.

The key difference is that this data is stored on your device, is not shared across websites, and contains no tracking identifiers. It's used solely to make the app work, not to watch what you do. You can view our full Cookies Policy for a transparent breakdown of what we use and why.

A Higher Standard for Privacy

Choosing not to use tracking cookies is a conscious design choice. It may mean we have less insight into user "engagement metrics," but we believe it's a small price to pay for upholding our users' trust and privacy. When you use Sryptos, you can be confident that you are communicating freely and securely, without being watched.
