Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 1, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve your experience. Scinalytics AI uses cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage and IndexedDB) to operate our platform effectively.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for the platform to function. These include authentication tokens (JWT), session management, and CSRF protection. You cannot opt out of essential cookies as they are necessary for the Service to operate.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how users interact with our platform. We use these to measure page views, identify popular features, and detect errors. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. We use Sentry for error tracking and Web Vitals for performance monitoring.
Preference Cookies
Remember your settings and preferences, such as your chosen theme (light/dark mode), language preferences, and dashboard layout configurations. These cookies make your experience more personalized.
3. Offline Storage
As an offline-first PWA, Scinalytics AI uses IndexedDB and the Cache API to store data locally on your device. This enables the platform to work without an internet connection and synchronize data when connectivity is restored. This local data is essential for the offline functionality and is not shared with third parties.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies will prevent Scinalytics AI from functioning properly. To clear offline storage, you can use your browser's "Clear site data" option in settings.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our payment providers (Paynow, PayFast, Stripe) may set their own cookies when processing payments. These are governed by the respective provider's cookie policies. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking for marketing purposes.
6. Contact
