Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how VPN Proxy Master (“we”, “us”) uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies across vpnproxymaster.com, the VPN Proxy Master and VPN Proxy Master Lite applications, and all related online services (collectively referred to as “Services”).
Purpose and Scope
Cookies are used to maintain our Services, enable secure user authentication, process payments, remember user language preferences, diagnose operational issues, and enhance your Service experience. We do not use cookies to track VPN traffic or user activity, and all cookie data is kept technically and organizationally separate from VPN usage and account data.
Type of Cookies Used
All cookies can be categorized to the following types:
- Essential Cookies: Required for secure site operation, user login, session maintenance, and payment processing. We use these cookies to manage essential actions such as requesting page resources. We also use these cookies to set up essential functionalities to guarantee the security and efficiency of our Services. Disabling these may result in Services malfunctions or being unable to be provided safely.
- Functionality Cookies: Remember your settings or Services preferences (e.g., language selection) for improved experience.
- Analytics Cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymized data about how users interact with our Services (e.g., error or crash data, use frequency) to help us improve performance.
- Advertising Cookies: Some cookies may support advertising delivery or affiliate tracking; these are always strictly anonymized and never tied to user account or VPN activity.
All cookies, including those used for analytics and advertising, are subject to strict anonymization protocols and are never associated—either directly or indirectly—with any user account, VPN activity, traffic details, or other identifiable information. There is a clear logical and technical separation between cookie data and VPN-related data, preventing any possibility of traceability or cross-referencing between analytics gathered from Apps, Websites, or related Services and VPN user actions.
To further protect user privacy, persistent cookies—especially those for analytics or advertising—are routinely hashed or rotated and are never retained beyond what is strictly necessary. Where technically possible, cookie lifespans are minimized and are subject to deletion upon user log-out or upon request.
Additionally, all analytics and advertising cookies are managed with robust pseudonymization techniques and are stored on isolated servers, ensuring that cross-linking or data correlation between cookie records and any VPN service data or account identifiers is technically impossible.
Third-Party Service Providers
We may use third-party cookies strictly as necessary to provide or enhance Services. Such third parties are contractually obligated only to process data as required for our Services, and may not use cookies for their own unrelated purposes.
