1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Assaygrove, Inc. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on assaygrove.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy. We operate as a drug target discovery platform serving biotech and pharmaceutical research teams; our cookie use is limited to site operation and basic usage measurement.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognise your device, store preferences, and measure usage. We also use related technologies such as local storage, which we use to remember your cookie-banner acknowledgment.
3. How We Use Cookies
| Category | Examples | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | session state, CSRF token, cookie-banner acknowledgment (localStorage) | session - 12 months |
| Preferences | language, theme, display settings | up to 12 months |
| Analytics | self-hosted usage analytics, anonymised page view counts | up to 13 months |
| Marketing | not currently used | -- |
We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Analytics are used solely to understand how researchers find and navigate the site, so we can improve its usefulness.
4. Notice and Choice
assaygrove.com operates under a notice-only consent model for US visitors. By continuing to use the Service, you acknowledge our use of cookies as described above. You can opt out of analytics cookies by configuring your browser or using the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer to re-open the cookie notice.
5. Universal Opt-Out Signals
Where applicable state law requires (for example, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon), we honour browser-transmitted opt-out signals such as the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") for sale and targeted-advertising categories. Because we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, GPC suppresses analytics initialisation but does not affect the Service's core operation.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties acting as our service providers (for example, cloud hosting infrastructure or anonymised analytics). We have agreements with such providers limiting their use of data collected on our behalf to providing the contracted service only.
7. Managing Cookies
- Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer to acknowledge or revisit the cookie notice.
- Browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies; see aboutcookies.org for browser-specific instructions.
- Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to log in or use the platform.
8. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date will reflect any material change.
