Cookie Policy
Transparency regarding our use of cookies & tracking technologies
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide analytical or advertising information to website operators.
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we respect your privacy choices and provide full transparency regarding all cookies used on priyalifescience.com.
2. How We Use Cookies
We classify the cookies used on our website into three distinct categories:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the basic operation of our website, such as maintaining user sessions, security, and storing your cookie preferences. They do not require consent under ePrivacy Regulations.
B. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (`G-HFKC926N2L`) to collect anonymous, aggregate data regarding traffic, popular articles, and site performance. We implement Google Consent Mode v2 — analytics cookies are disabled by default and are only activated if you consent via our consent banner.
With your consent we also use Microsoft Clarity to see how pages are used (clicks, scrolling, anonymised session recordings and heatmaps), so we can fix pages that are hard to use. Clarity is not loaded at all unless you click “Accept all”.
C. Advertising Cookies
We do not currently display advertising, and no advertising cookies are set. If we introduce advertising in future, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent before any advertising cookie is used.
