What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Clearbioneck) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, interactive content, and advertising.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and store certain information. These technologies are used for the following purposes:

  • Essential Website Functions: Some cookies are essential for you to be able to experience the full functionality of our site. They allow us to maintain user sessions and prevent security threats. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
  • Performance and Analytics: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and see how visitors navigate around the site.
  • Functionality: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization based on your interaction with the website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
  • User Preferences: These cookies remember your preferences such as language, region, or other customizable elements of the site layout, making your experience more convenient and personalized.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work properly.

Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Cookie Duration

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are session cookies, meaning they are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Other cookies are persistent cookies, meaning they remain on your device after your browser is closed until a set expiration date or until you delete them.

  • Session Cookies: These temporary cookies expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. We use session cookies to grant users access to content and to enable commenting and other functionality.
  • Persistent Cookies: These usually have an expiration date far into the future and thus remain in your browser until they expire or you manually delete them. We use persistent cookies to understand your usage patterns so we can improve our website.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website and deliver advertisements. These third parties may include:

  • Analytics providers who help us understand how visitors use our website
  • Advertising networks that deliver relevant advertisements
  • Security services that help protect our website and users
  • Content delivery networks that help serve content efficiently

We have no direct control over the cookies these third parties set. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information about their cookie practices.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, limiting cookies may impact your experience of the site. Here is how to manage cookies in common browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Go to Options, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Cookies and site data
  • Safari: Go to Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data
  • Opera: Go to Settings, then Advanced, then Privacy and security, then Cookies

Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our website. You may not be able to use all interactive features of our site.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for what a company should do when it detects a Do Not Track signal. We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals, but we may do so in the future as standards develop.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Cookies Policy on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.

Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as local storage. Local storage is similar to cookies in that it is stored on your device and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences. However, local storage is not automatically sent to a server like cookies are. We use local storage to improve your browsing experience and remember your preferences.
