Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 9, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Foggy Froggy Networks ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar storage technologies on our website. Foggy Froggy Networks is a VPN service provider founded in 2026 and built around a single promise: your online activity is your business, not ours. Our slogan is "Stay in the fog!" and we take that idea seriously in every corner of our operation, including how our website behaves in your browser.

This policy describes what cookies are, which cookies our website sets, why we set them, how long they last, and how you can control or delete them. It applies only to our website and online storefront. It does not apply to the Foggy Froggy Networks VPN service itself, which, as explained in Section 7 below, does not use cookies at all. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, which are available on this website under those names.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit it. Each cookie typically contains a small amount of data, such as a randomly generated identifier, a preference setting, or the state of your shopping cart. Cookies are read back by the website on later page loads so that the site can remember who you are within a session, keep you signed in, or recall a choice you previously made.

Cookies are generally divided into "session cookies," which are deleted automatically when you close your browser, and "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Cookies may also be "first-party," meaning they are set by the website you are visiting, or "third-party," meaning they are set by a different domain. As described below, our website relies on first-party cookies and the cookies required by our commerce platform, and we do not permit advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of any kind.

3. Why a Privacy-First VPN Company Still Uses Cookies

It may seem contradictory that a company whose entire product is built on a strict no-logs policy uses cookies at all. The honest answer is that a modern online store cannot function without a small number of them. Our website runs on Shopify, and Shopify requires certain cookies to keep your shopping cart intact, process checkout securely, prevent fraud, and remember your language and currency. Without these cookies, you could not add a plan such as SOLO, FAMILY, PRO, or CORPORATE to your cart and complete a purchase.

Our approach is therefore one of deliberate minimalism: we use the smallest set of cookies technically necessary to sell and support our service, plus a limited set of privacy-respecting, first-party measurement cookies that help us understand aggregate website performance. We do not use cookies to build behavioral profiles, follow you across the internet, or feed advertising systems.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

The cookies on our website fall into three categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These are set by the Shopify platform that powers our store. They handle session management, shopping cart contents, secure checkout, load balancing, and fraud prevention. The website cannot operate without them, and they cannot be switched off through our site.
• Preference cookies. These remember choices you make, such as your preferred display currency, language, or region, so you do not have to reselect them on every visit. They store settings, not identity.
• Minimal first-party analytics cookies. These help us count visits, understand which pages are most useful, and detect errors, using aggregated and first-party data only. They are never shared with advertising networks and never used to track you on other websites.

5. Detailed List of Cookies

The table below lists the principal cookies you may encounter on our website. Exact names and durations may vary slightly as the Shopify platform evolves; we review this table periodically to keep it accurate.

6. What We Never Do With Cookies

Because our reputation depends on privacy, we hold our website to the same standard as our VPN. We commit that we do not, and will not:

• Use third-party advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, or ad-network tags of any kind;
• Engage in cross-site tracking or participate in data brokerage or audience-matching programs;
• Sell, rent, or trade any data derived from cookies to anyone, for any purpose;
• Use cookies to link your website browsing to your use of the VPN service;
• Employ browser fingerprinting or similar covert identification techniques as a substitute for cookies.

If a technology does not serve you directly, either by making the store work or by helping us fix and improve it, it does not belong on our website.

7. The Website Versus the VPN Service

It is important to distinguish between this website and the Foggy Froggy Networks VPN service. Cookies are a web-browser technology. The VPN service is an encrypted network tunnel that carries your traffic through our AMD EPYC servers in 17 countries; it has no concept of cookies and sets none. When you are connected to the VPN, we operate under a strict no-logs policy: we do not record your browsing history, traffic destinations, DNS queries, or connection timestamps. The only identifier associated with your subscription is the hardware ID used under our device licensing model, where one HWID corresponds to one device, and that identifier exists solely to enforce your plan's device limit. Nothing in this Cookie Policy expands or alters the no-logs commitment described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Managing and Deleting Cookies in Your Browser

You can control cookies directly in your browser at any time. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the cart and checkout from functioning, but the choice is always yours. General instructions for the major browsers are as follows:

• Google Chrome: Open Settings, select Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies or Site settings, where you can block cookies, allow exceptions, or clear stored data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Open Settings, select Privacy and Security, and use the Enhanced Tracking Protection and Cookies and Site Data controls to block or clear cookies.
• Apple Safari: Open Preferences (or Settings on iOS), select Privacy, and use Manage Website Data or the option to block all cookies.
• Microsoft Edge: Open Settings, select Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Most browsers also offer a private or incognito mode in which cookies are discarded when the window closes, and all major browsers let you delete cookies for an individual site without clearing everything else.

9. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals

Some browsers can transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to the websites you visit. There is no universally accepted standard for how websites must respond to DNT. Our position is simple: because we already refrain from cross-site tracking, advertising cookies, and the sale of personal data, our website treats every visitor as if such a signal were present. Enabling DNT or GPC will not reduce your experience on our site in any way.

10. Consent and Legal Basis

Where required by applicable law, including the laws of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we rely on your consent before setting cookies that are not strictly necessary, and we rely on legitimate interest or technical necessity for cookies without which the store cannot function. You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by clearing cookies in your browser as described in Section 8 or by adjusting any cookie preference controls presented on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

11. Cookies and Children

Our website and services are directed at adults and are not intended for children under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from children. If you believe a child has used our website and that data may have been collected, please contact us using the details below so we can address it.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies our platform uses, changes in law, or improvements in our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice on the website. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the website after an updated policy takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
