Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Science Tips ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at www.sciencetips.in. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized advertising.

2. How we use cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate (Essential Cookies). Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website, analyze our traffic, and serve advertisements (Advertising and Analytics Cookies).

3. Google AdSense & Personalized Advertising

Science Tips relies on advertising revenue to keep our educational materials free. We use Google AdSense to publish ads on our site.

Please be aware of the following regarding Google's use of cookies:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. Consent Management Platform (CMP)

To comply with privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, and Switzerland, we have implemented a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP).

When you access our site from applicable regions, you will be presented with a consent message offering three choices:

• Consent: By choosing this, you allow us and our third-party advertising partners (like Google) to use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing behavior and interests.
• Do not consent: By choosing this, you decline the use of cookies for personalized advertising. You will still see advertisements on Science Tips, but they will be less relevant to you, as they will not be based on your personal data.
• Manage options: This allows you to dive deeper into vendor preferences and explicitly choose which types of data processing you wish to allow.

5. How can you control cookies?

In addition to our CMP prompt, you have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies through your browser controls. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.

Since the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

6. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
