This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how Scientech Resumes LLC (“Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) uses cookies when you visit our website at https://www.scientechresumes.com (the “Service). It explains what cookies are, the types of cookies used (i.e., the information we collect using cookies), why we use them, how to manage the cookie settings, and your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files, which may include an anonymous unique identifier that gets stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. These cookies help us make the website function properly, make it more secure, provide a better user experience, understand how the website performs, and analyze what works and where it needs improvement.

Our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. Cookies set by the website owner are called first-party cookies, which are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way. First-party cookies do not collect any of your personally identifiable data. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (i.e., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience. Third parties use cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager, which can be found in the notification banner on our Website. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, although your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
