Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is used.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."
We use cookies to:
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Can be Disabled? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the platform to function. Enable login sessions, security features, and core functionality. | Session ID, CSRF token, authentication cookie | No — platform will not work without these |
| Analytics | Help us understand how users navigate our site and platform. Data is aggregated and anonymized. | Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) | Yes — opt out via browser or cookie preferences |
| Preference | Remember your settings, language, and dashboard configuration between visits. | Theme preference, scan settings, dashboard layout | Yes — will reset preferences on each visit |

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use. These include:
We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review the respective privacy policies for more information.
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Instructions for common browsers:
Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent the ScanCompliant platform from functioning correctly. You will not be able to log in or use the scanning features.
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the footer.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry standard for how to handle them. We use the cookie consent mechanism described above instead.
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as required by law. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on our website. Continued use of our site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
