What the hiveprotect.ai site stores in your browser, with its purpose and lifetime.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file that the site stores in your browser. The browser can also keep information in its local storage, which plays a comparable role. This page describes the main cookies and local storage items we have found on this site.

These services may also set other cookies of the same kind. The rules for each are described in its own policy.
On a blog article
A blog article displays a video hosted by Dropbox: as soon as the article is opened, even before playback, Dropbox sets its own cookies (in particular gvc, t, __Host-js_csrf and uc_session).
What we do not use
- Our site sets no advertising cookies.
