How we use cookies and similar technologies on our website
Effective 8 September 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags (“tracking technologies”).
2. Our Approach
The UNCAPT website (uncapt.com) uses a minimal set of cookies. We believe in collecting only what we need. Specifically:
- We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural targeting, or profiling
- We do not use social media tracking pixels or remarketing tools
- We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for their own purposes
- We do not set any cookies on the UNCAPT platform (API) — cookies apply to the marketing website only
3. Cookie Categories
3.1 Strictly Necessary
These technologies are essential for the website to function. They do not require consent and cannot be switched off.
| Technology | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
Session state | Maintains page state during your visit (e.g., mobile navigation). Stored in browser memory only. | Session | Browser session |
Font caching | Google Fonts sets HTTP cache headers to improve page load. No tracking is involved. | Performance | Varies (browser-managed) |
3.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website in aggregate. GA4 is configured with the following privacy settings:
- IP anonymisation: Enabled — your full IP address is not stored by Google
- Data sharing with Google: Disabled — we do not share analytics data with Google for benchmarking or advertising
- Google Signals: Disabled — we do not use cross-device tracking
- Advertising features: Disabled — no remarketing or audience building
- Data retention: Set to 14 months, then automatically deleted
| Cookie | Purpose | Set By | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors. Generates a random, anonymous identifier — no personal data is collected or stored. | Google (1st party) | 2 years |
_ga_<ID> | Maintains session state for GA4. Tracks page views and session duration in aggregate. | Google (1st party) | 2 years |
_gid | Distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour window. Used for aggregate daily traffic counts. | Google (1st party) | 24 hours |
_gat_<ID> | Throttles request rate to Google Analytics to prevent overloading. Contains no user data. | Google (1st party) | 1 minute |
4. What We Do NOT Use
For clarity, the following cookie types and tracking technologies are not used on the UNCAPT website:
| Technology | Status |
|---|---|
Advertising / retargeting cookies (e.g., Facebook Pixel, Google Ads) | Not used |
Social media tracking pixels | Not used |
Cross-site tracking or fingerprinting | Not used |
Third-party advertising networks | Not used |
Session replay or heatmap tools (e.g., Hotjar, FullStory) | Not used |
A/B testing cookies | Not used |
5. Third-Party Services
The following third-party services are used on the UNCAPT website and may set cookies or use similar technologies:
| Service | Purpose | Data Sent | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
Google Analytics 4 | Aggregate website analytics | Anonymised page views, session duration, device type, country. No personal data. | policies.google.com/privacy |
Google Fonts | Web font delivery | HTTP request metadata (IP address, browser type). Google states this data is not linked to user profiles. | developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy |
Important: None of these third-party services have access to clinical or domain data. The UNCAPT platform (API) is entirely separate from this marketing website and does not use cookies or any of the above third-party services.
6. Your Choices
6.1 Cookie banner
When you first visit the UNCAPT website, a cookie banner asks whether you accept all cookies or only those that are strictly necessary. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) are set only if you choose Accept all. If you choose Necessary only, no analytics script is loaded. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage (key uncapt-cookie-consent) so we do not ask again on every visit; you can change it at any time using the Cookie settings link in the site footer.
6.2 Browser settings
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete existing cookies
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
- Set preferences for specific websites
- Send “Do Not Track” signals (we respect DNT headers where technically feasible)
6.3 Google Analytics opt-out
To specifically opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
6.4 Impact of blocking cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect basic website functionality (e.g., mobile navigation). Blocking analytics cookies will not affect your experience on the site — you can freely browse all content without analytics enabled.
7. The Platform (API)
For clarity: the UNCAPT platform — accessed by partner organisations and domain experts via API — does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or any of the third-party services described in this policy. Authentication is handled via API keys and tokens, not cookies. This Cookie Policy applies only to the marketing website.
8. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly. For details on how we protect clinical and domain data, please refer to the Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we add or remove third-party services. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. If we introduce any new categories of cookies (beyond strictly necessary and analytics), we will update this policy before they are deployed.
