Cookies policy

Updated at: 2026-09-20.

This Cookie Policy explains how GoMon Secure file transfers uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you log into our platform, utilize our upload interfaces, or manage your secure transfer dashboard. It also outlines the tracking rules regarding download recipients.

1. The Recipient Guarantee (People Downloading Files)

To maximize speed, isolation, and privacy, our file delivery infrastructure enforces a strict standard: **We do not deploy tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or cross-site behavioral identifiers on the browsers of recipients who are simply downloading a file via a GoMon transfer link.** Minimal functional session identifiers may be processed temporarily in-memory purely to stabilize large multi-part file downloads.

2. Cookies Collected from Account Holders

When you register a Free Account or maintain a Paid Subscription, we deploy technical cookies on your web browser to authenticate your identity and safeguard your data payloads. These cookies include:

A. Essential & Upload Stability Cookies

These cookies are strictly required to operate the secure transfer engine. Without them, you cannot upload files or maintain a authenticated session.

  • Session Authentication: Links your browser to your storage account so you can manage folders and active transfers without re-logging continuously.
  • Upload Stream Synchronization: Tracks chunk upload progress for large files, allowing the system to resume broken transmissions smoothly (advanced chunking parameters are optimized for Paid Subscriptions).
  • Security and Anti-Exploit: Safeguards your data against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and unauthorized access attempts.

B. Subscription Management & Billing Cookies

For users holding a Paid Subscription, external billing systems utilize functional tokens to secure transactions:

  • Secure Payment Integrity: Our external billing network handles encrypted payment handshakes, calculates tier activations, and detects fraudulent credit cards.

4. Controlling Cookie Settings

You can control and decline cookies using your browser's preference panel. However, because our infrastructure requires instant authentication tokens to seal file uploads, blocking essential GoMon cookies will completely disable our encryption tools, dashboard metrics, and file transfer upload capabilities.

5. Revisions to This Policy

GoMon reserves the right to modify this Cookie Policy to match updating global storage protocols and technical iterations. Any revisions will change the active effective date placed at the apex of this document.
