Cookie notice
Updated 6 November 2026.
This notice lists the cookies and the browser storage of SecureChain by TuxCare. It covers this site (sc.tuxcare.cloud), the workspaces (name.sc.tuxcare.cloud), and the TuxCare sign-in service (auth.tuxcare.cloud).
Summary
- We use only strictly necessary cookies. They keep you signed in and protect the sign-in against forgery. Without them, you cannot sign in.
- We use no analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. The pages load no script, font, or image from another company.
- The law does not require consent for strictly necessary cookies (EU ePrivacy Directive, Article 5(3), and UK PECR, Regulation 6). For this reason, the cookie banner informs you and does not ask for consent.
- We do not use these cookies for advertising, and we do not sell them or give them to other companies.
Cookies
Each cookie that we set has the __Host- prefix. The browser sends it only to the host that set it, and only over HTTPS. A script on the page cannot read it.
