Cookie Policy

General
I.1 This website, FleshAssist, uses a custom security feature that encodes the names of cookies. This is used to protect users from Session Attacks, adding a layer of security to the users' stored cookies. This means that each visitor or user of the website will have a different set of cookie names to other visitors. For example, on traditional websites, a cookie that stores the username of a visitor's account would be saved under the name as "Username", whereas on FleshAssist, the same cookie would be encoded and would resemble something along the lines of "0c3e6815b2ee36f8e68642918f88ab2c", with the length being 32 characters long.
