Effective date: October 15, 2026

At Passportology, Inc (“us”, “we”, or “our” “PI”), we use cookies to keep the passportology.com website (the “Service”) secure and working properly, and, with your consent, to understand how it is used. This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy. It explains how we use cookies between your device and our website.

We also give you information about the third-party services we use, which may also use cookies as part of their service. Their cookies are governed by their own privacy policies.

You can accept, reject, or customize optional cookies at any time using the “Cookie Preferences” link at the bottom of any page of our website, or you can set your browser to refuse cookies. However, some parts of our website may not work properly without strictly necessary cookies.

This Cookie Policy describes the types of cookies and similar technologies we use on our Service, how we use them, and what your choices are for controlling them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device through your web browser when you visit it. Cookies store information about how you use a website so that it can recognize your device, work properly, and analyze how it is used.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by a different domain, such as an analytics or advertising provider, are called third-party cookies. This policy also covers similar technologies, such as tags and scripts, that work in the same way. For more information about cookies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

2. How does Passportology use cookies?

Passportology uses cookies to collect information for different purposes. Here are examples of the types of information we collect through cookies:

  • Your cookie consent choices

  • The website visited before visiting our website (only with your consent)
  • Information about your browser and device (only with your consent)
  • Whether your visit came from one of our advertisements (only with your consent)

We use this information to:

  • Keep our website and forms working securely
  • Remember your cookie preferences
  • Analyze how our website is used, so we can improve our registered agent and virtual mailbox services
  • Measure the performance of our advertising and show relevant ads

See the Cookie List at the end of this Cookie Policy for details about the specific cookies used for these purposes.

3. Types of cookies we use

Some of the cookies we use are first-party cookies, set by passportology.com. We also allow certain third-party providers to set cookies to provide features of our website or to help us with our analytics and advertising.

  • Strictly Necessary cookies – Always active
    These cookies are needed for our website to work securely, including our forms and your cookie preferences. Because they are essential, they cannot be turned off in our cookie settings.
  • Analytics cookies – Off until you consent
    These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, so we can improve our services. We use Google Analytics.
  • Marketing cookies – Off until you consent

4. Duration of cookie storage

The length of time that cookies are stored on your device depends on whether they are session or persistent cookies.

  • Session cookies
    These cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. For example, our service request form uses a session cookie to keep your form session while you complete it.
  • Persistent cookies
    These cookies stay on your device for a set period of time, from a few minutes to more than a year, depending on their purpose. For example, your cookie preferences are remembered for one year. The duration of each cookie is listed in the Cookie List.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

Accepting, rejecting or customizing cookies

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner asks for your choice. Optional cookies stay off until you choose:

  • Accept All: turns on Analytics and Marketing cookies.
  • Reject Optional: keeps only Strictly Necessary cookies.
  • Customize Preferences: lets you turn each optional category on or off, then click Save Preferences.

Closing the banner or continuing to browse does not count as consent. Rejecting optional cookies does not affect your ability to use our website or our forms.

Changing or withdrawing your consent

You can change your choices or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link at the bottom of any page of our website. Once you turn off a category, we stop collecting new information through those cookies, and we remove the optional cookies already stored on your device where technically possible. Information collected before you withdrew your consent may continue to be used as described in our Privacy Policy.

Browser settings

You can also block or delete cookies using your browser settings. As the way to do this varies from one browser to another (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), please visit your browser’s help menu for more information. Browser settings apply only to the browser and device you change them on. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of our website, such as our forms, from working.

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals.

6. Third-party services

Some features of our website are provided by third-party companies, which may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies:

When you choose a virtual mailbox plan, you may continue on SphereMail’s platform, which has its own cookie and privacy practices.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the cookies on our website or legal requirements change. The “effective date” stated at the top of this Cookie Policy shows the current version. If we make significant changes, we will ask for your consent again through the cookie banner.
