About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them. You should read this policy to understand what cookies we collect and process, the way we use them, the types of cookies we use (i.e the information we collect using cookies and how that information is processed) and how to control your cookie preferences. For further information on how we use, store and process your other personal data and definitions of terms, please refer to our Website Privacy Policy and/or Users Privacy Policy, whichever is applicable to you.

This Cookie Policy applies to the domain scinote.net and/or any of its subdomains (e.g. my.scinote.net).

What are cookies ?

Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. The cookies are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. These cookies help us make the website function properly, make the website more secure, provide better user experience, and understand how the website performs, how you use it and ultimately helps us analyze where we can improve it and provide you with a great user experience.

How do we use cookies ?

As most online services, our website uses both first-party cookies and third-party cookies for a number of purposes. The first-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function in the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.

The third-party cookies used on our websites are used mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our website.

What types of cookies do we use ?

Like most websites on the internet, we also use cookies. Each cookie or online identifier has its own unique role, but in general they can be divided into some main categories: necessary, performance, preference and marketing cookies.

We use performance cookies, but they don’t identify you, therefore do not fall under the scope of personal data. These cookies collect information about how you use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, which we manage with the help of Google Analytics. This is used to improve our website and therefore overall business practices.

Necessary cookies are the ones that enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. As the name suggests, these are the cookies that enable you to even use our site, since without them we cannot properly display you our website content.

Preference cookies are the ones that can adjust the content of the website based on parameters like your location. We don’t customize our website content and therefore do not use such cookies.

Marketing cookies are the ones we use to optimize our business processes. For example, these are the cookies that track which blog posts you read while on our website and we do use such cookies.

We use marketing and advertising cookies and similar tracking technologies (including pixel tags) to measure the performance of our advertising, to understand how visitors engage with our content, and to deliver and optimize marketing relevant to you. These technologies store information on, or access information already stored on, your device, and are not strictly necessary for the operation of the Website(s). We therefore use them only on the basis of your consent, which you may give, refuse, or withdraw at any time through our cookie-preference tool. Refusing or withdrawing consent will not affect your ability to use the Website(s); it will only mean that these marketing and advertising technologies are not deployed.

You can see a full list of the cookies we use here.

LinkedIn Insights Tag

We use the LinkedIn Insight Conversion Tool from the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns, to analyze how visitors interact with the Website(s), and to enable LinkedIn to show you relevant advertising. The LinkedIn Insight Tag stores information on, or accesses information already stored on, your device and is not strictly necessary for the operation of the Website(s). We therefore place and use it only on the basis of your consent, which you may give, refuse, or withdraw at any time through our cookie-preference tool. Any subsequent processing of the collected data by LinkedIn as a separate controller is carried out under LinkedIn’s own terms and legal bases; further information is available in LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. 

E-mail Communications 

We also use tracking technologies, such as tracking pixels and tracking links, within certain e-mails we send, to detect whether an e-mail was opened and which links were clicked. The use of those technologies is described in Section 3.2 of our Website Privacy Policy: https://www.scinote.net/legal/website-privacy-policy/, which governs tracking within e-mail communications. This Cookie Policy governs cookies and similar technologies used on the Website(s).

Pixel tags store information on, or access information stored on, Your device in the same way as cookies. Where such pixel tags are not strictly necessary, We deploy them only with Your consent, which You can give or refuse and manage at any time through Our cookie-preference tool.
