Cookie Policy Overview
KognitivAtlas Inc. (“us”, “we”, “our”) is committed to transparency regarding the use of cookies on our platform located at www.kognitivatlas.com (the “Platform“). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding them.
Currently, our use of cookies is minimal and focused on essential functionalities. As our Platform evolves, we may introduce other types of cookies (such as for analytics) to improve your experience. This policy will be updated to reflect any such changes.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device that uniquely identifies your browser or device. When you visit a website, cookies allow that site to recognize your browser or device. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you by remembering your preferences, helping you navigate efficiently, and generally improving your Browse experience.
Other tracking technologies, such as beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear gifs), tags, and scripts, may also be used. These technologies collect and track information to help us analyze and improve our Platform for our users, should we choose to implement them.
How KognitivAtlas Uses Cookies
Currently, KognitivAtlas uses cookies for the following primary purposes:
- To enable essential functions of our Platform: This includes cookies necessary for user authentication (keeping you logged in) and maintaining session integrity and security.
In the future, we may use cookies for additional purposes, such as:
- To provide analytics about Platform usage: For example, using Google Analytics to understand how users interact with KognitivAtlas so we can improve our services. This would involve collecting aggregated and anonymized data.
- To store your preferences: To remember settings you"ve chosen to personalize your experience.
We will update this policy before introducing any new categories of cookies or significantly changing our use of existing ones.
Types of Cookies We Use (or May Use in the Future)
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the KognitivAtlas platform to function properly. They are automatically placed on your device when you access our site or use features that require them, such as logging into your account or maintaining your session.
- They help us authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts.
- They ensure the security and integrity of our platform by remembering your session information.
- You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some essential parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for basic site operation and security.
These cookies are mandatory for platform operation and cannot be opted out of if you wish to use core features like logging in.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies would allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our platform. They would help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
- **KognitivAtlas does not currently use Analytics Cookies.**
- We may implement these in the future (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect information and report site usage statistics. If we do, this policy will be updated, and you will be informed.
- Any information these cookies might collect in the future would be aggregated and anonymous.
Functional Cookies
These cookies would enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences (like language or region) or settings for features you customize.
- **KognitivAtlas currently uses minimal or no additional Functional Cookies beyond those classified as Necessary for basic operations.**
- If we introduce more advanced functional cookies, this policy will be updated.
Advertisement and Targeting Cookies
These cookies would be used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
- **KognitivAtlas does not currently use Advertisement and Targeting Cookies.** We do not partner with third-party advertisers to display ads on our platform or track your activity across other sites for advertising purposes.
How Long Do Cookies Stay on a Device?
The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent“ or “session“ cookie.
- Persistent cookies are stored on your device in-between Browse sessions and allow your preferences or actions to be remembered. These cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- Session cookies allow our Platform to link your actions during a single Browse session. These are temporary and are erased once you close your web browser or after your session ends. KognitivAtlas primarily uses session cookies for authentication and site functionality.
Your Cookie Choices and How to Opt-Out
Since our current use of cookies is limited to those essential for platform functionality (like keeping you logged in), there isn"t an option to disable these without impacting your ability to use KognitivAtlas.
However, you can generally control and manage cookies through your browser settings:
- Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies for a website. Please visit the help pages of your specific web browser to learn how to adjust your cookie settings.
Please note that if you choose to block or delete essential cookies set by KognitivAtlas, critical parts of our Platform (such as logging in or saving your work) may not function correctly.
If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future (like Analytics cookies), we will provide you with more granular controls through a Cookie Preferences tool on our Platform.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time, especially if we introduce new types of cookies or change our usage of existing ones. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated“ date at the top.
You are advised to review this Cookie Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Cookie Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
