Our Cookie Policy outlines every cookie dropped across our Website (https://scanfraud.com). You can always check your cookie preferences by checking the setting of your browser.

1. INTRODUCTION ANS DEFINITION
A cookie is a small piece of data that a Website stores on your device when you visit the Website, typically containing information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the website to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself. Cookies are used to enable certain features, to track Website usage (e.g., analytics), to store your user settings (e.g. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (e.g. advertising, language). Cookies set by the Website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only track your activity on that particular website. Cookies set by other sites and companies (i,e. third parties) are called “third-party cookies”, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
2. HOW DO WE USE COOKIES
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Our cookies and similar technologies have different functions. They are either necessary for the functioning of our services, help us improve our performance, give you extra functionalities, or help us to serve you relevant information. We use these cookies to identify and prevent potential security risks and to store preferences set by our users such as account name, language, and location. Cookies can be used to analyze your activity in order to improve the Sites. We can use such analysis to gain insights about how to improve the functionality and user experience of the Website.
3. TYPES OF COOKIES
The types of cookies we use are listed below.
Targeting Cookies. These cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Website, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Website will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our Website – for example, analytics providers and content partners. We grant these third parties’ access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be used to track you on other sites that use the same third-party service. As we have no control over third-party cookies, they are not covered by this cookie policy.
5. YOUR CONTROL OF COOKIES
If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can instruct your browser to refuse cookies from our Website. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, but you can update these settings to either refuse cookies altogether, or to notify you when a website is trying to set or update a cookie. If you browse sites from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual device. Although some cookies can be blocked with little impact on your experience of a Website, blocking all cookies may mean you are unable to access certain features and content across the websites you visit.
6. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
This Policy may be revised, changed, updated and/or amended at any time without prior notice. If such changes are made, the notification will be published on the main page of the Website.
