Cookie Notice

Last updated: 5 March, 2024

This Cookie Notice explains how Biolinken and its group companies (“Biolinken,” “we,” “us,” and “ours”) use cookies and similar tracking technologies, including SDKs (collectively, “cookies”), on or through our website at https://Biolinken.com/ (“Platform”), or when you visit a Biolinken member’s profile (“User Profile”). This notice explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device. Website owners can use cookies for a variety of reasons, including enabling the website to work (or work more efficiently), providing personalised content and advertising, and creating analytics. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Biolinken) are called “first party cookies.” Only Biolinken can access the first party cookies it sets.

Cookies set by parties other than Biolinken are called "third party cookies. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality (such as advertising, interactive content and social sharing) to be provided on or through the Website. The parties that set these third-party cookies on websites may recognize your device both when you visit that website and when you visit other websites that have partnered with them.

Why are we using cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons that are strictly necessary to provide Biolinken services, and we refer to these as "essential" cookies. Other cookies allow us to perform analytics, personalize and improve your experience, and/or show you more relevant content and advertising.

In addition to the cookies used by Biolinken for these Biolinken purposes, Biolinken users can adjust their settings to set first and third party cookies on their Biolinken user profile for their own independent purposes of a similar nature.

The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies we serve through our platform, and the purposes they serve, are described in our cookie consent tool, which you can access through your cookie preferences. This tool also describes the third-party cookies that Biolinken members may choose to use on their user profile and the purposes they serve.

What about other tracking technology like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. From time to time, we may use other similar technologies, such as web beacons (sometimes called "clear gifs" or "tracking pixels") on our website. These are tiny graphic files that contain a unique identifier that allows us to recognize when someone has visited our platform or opened an email that we have sent to them. For example, this allows us to monitor user traffic patterns from one page within our Platform to another, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand whether you came to our Platform from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, improve website performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so rejecting cookies will often interfere with their functioning.

How can you control cookies?

In some countries (including where EU or UK law applies), you have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. In any event, you can exercise your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool, which you can access by clicking on Cookie Preferences. You can separately control whether to accept or decline cookies set by Biolinken users in their user profiles.

With respect to websites, you can also set or modify your web browser controls to accept or reject cookies.

If you choose to decline cookies, you can still use our website or application, although your access to some features and areas may be limited.

How often will we update this Cookie Notice?

We may update this cookie notice from time to time, for example, to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please check this cookie policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this cookie notice indicates when it was last updated..
