Cookie Usage Policy

What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as tiny notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits.

When you visit nextflowneuron.com, your browser stores these files locally. The next time you come back, the site can read these files and use that information to personalize your experience. Some cookies last only while you're browsing (session cookies), while others stick around for weeks or months (persistent cookies).

We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage that serve comparable purposes. For simplicity, we'll refer to all these technologies as "cookies" throughout this document.

Types of Cookies We Use

Not all cookies serve the same purpose. Here's a breakdown of the different categories we work with:

Specific Cookies on Our Site

Here's a detailed look at the actual cookies you'll encounter on nextflowneuron.com:

Why We Need These Technologies

Every cookie on our site serves a specific purpose. Let me walk you through some concrete examples of how they improve your experience.

Security and Stability

Essential cookies help us verify that you're actually the person logged into your account, not someone trying to hijack your session. They also prevent malicious attacks that could compromise your data or our systems.

Better User Experience

When you adjust settings or customize your view, functional cookies remember those choices. That means you don't have to reset everything each time you visit. If you prefer viewing technical documentation in a specific format, we'll remember that.

Service Improvement

Analytics data shows us patterns we wouldn't otherwise see. For instance, if we notice that visitors consistently leave a particular page quickly, that tells us something might be confusing or broken. We can then fix it and make the experience better for everyone.

Relevant Communication

Marketing cookies help us show you information about software protection solutions that actually match your interests. Instead of generic advertising, you see content related to topics you've already explored on our site.

Third-Party Services

Some cookies on our site come from external services we partner with. These include analytics platforms that help us understand site traffic and advertising networks that measure campaign performance.

These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they collect and use data. While we carefully select partners who respect user privacy, we don't have direct control over their practices.

When you decline non-essential cookies through the button on this page, we also signal these third-party services to stop tracking your activity on our site.

Data Retention and Storage

Different cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around until they expire or you manually delete them.

We regularly review which cookies we're using and remove any that no longer serve a clear purpose. Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after a certain period, so individual browsing patterns aren't stored indefinitely.

The information collected through cookies gets stored on secure servers located in Taiwan. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect this data from unauthorized access.

Updates to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in how we use cookies or updates to legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.

If we start using cookies in substantially different ways, we'll notify active users and give you the opportunity to review your preferences again.
