Cookie Policy

What cookies and local storage we use on scopien.com, why we use them, how long they last, and how you can manage or withdraw consent at any time.

Effective June 16, 2026Version 1.0Document ID SCO-POL-016

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember preferences, and — in some cases — to measure usage or serve advertising. Similar technologies such as local storage store data in your browser in the same spirit, and we treat them the same way in this policy.

Cookies are described as first-party (set by scopien.com) or third-party (set by another domain). They are also grouped by purpose: strictly necessary cookies the site cannot work without, and optional cookies (such as analytics or advertising) that require your consent.

2. How We Use Cookies

We take a deliberately minimal approach. The Scopien website uses only strictly necessary cookies and local storage to make the site work and to remember your choices.

  • No analytics cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or any other website analytics product.
  • No advertising or tracking. We set no advertising pixels, marketing tags, or cross-site trackers.
  • No non-essential third-party loads before consent. Web fonts are self-hosted, so no third party receives your IP address simply because you opened a page.

3. Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary (always active)

These are required for the site to function or to honour your privacy choices. They cannot be switched off and do not require consent.

  • cc_cookie — Purpose: Stores your cookie consent choice and the time it was given. Duration: 6 months. Recipient: First-party (Scopien).
  • scopien-theme (local storage) — Purpose: Remembers your light/dark theme preference. Duration: Persistent (until cleared). Recipient: First-party (Scopien).

3.2 Analytics (reserved — off by default)

We maintain an “Analytics” category in our consent banner so that, if we introduce privacy-respecting usage analytics in the future, it will be off until you opt in. No analytics cookies are currently set or loaded, and this category remains disabled by default. If this ever changes, we will update this policy with the cookie names, purposes, durations, and recipients before any such cookie is used.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We currently set no third-party cookies. Resources that used to load from third-party domains have been brought first-party: web fonts are self-hosted rather than loaded from Google Fonts, so opening a page does not disclose your IP address to a third party.

If you follow a link from our site to an external service (for example, our application at os.scopien.com, or a social or documentation link), that destination has its own cookie practices governed by its own policy.

When you first visit, a consent banner lets you Accept all or Reject all optional cookies with equally prominent choices — rejecting is as easy as accepting. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent and remain active.

Your choice is stored in the first-party cc_cookie together with the categories you allowed and a timestamp. This record lets us honour your preference on later visits and demonstrate the scope and time of consent. If we materially change our cookie categories, the banner will ask for your consent again.

6. Managing Your Choices

You are always in control and can change or withdraw your consent at any time — just as easily as you granted it:

  • Cookie settings: select “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page to reopen the preferences panel, adjust categories, and save.
  • Browser controls: most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.

Because the only cookie we set is your consent record itself, clearing it in your browser simply means the banner will ask you again on your next visit.

7. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date above and, where the changes affect optional cookies, ask for your consent again through the banner.
