This Cookie Policy explains how X-Ray Screening Technology ("we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on xrayscreening.com (the "Site"). It supplements, and should be read together with, the privacy policy.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to remember preferences, to measure how pages are used, and to support advertising. We also use comparable technologies — local storage, pixels, and tags — that perform similar functions; references to "cookies" on this page cover all of them.
2. Categories of cookies in use
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They support page navigation, mobile menu state, and similar baseline behaviour. They do not track you across other websites and cannot be disabled through this page.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (Google's GA4 product, account G-MZEH909C71) to understand how readers find and use the Site. Google Analytics reads and writes cookies to identify returning visitors in aggregate, measure session duration, count page views, and report on traffic sources. The information is processed by Google in line with the Google Privacy Policy and Google's "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services" notice.
Advertising
The Site participates in Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This is sometimes referred to as "personalised advertising" or "interest-based advertising." Where required by law, advertising cookies are only set after you have given consent through a consent management mechanism.
Other advertising or affiliate networks may also set cookies if you click an advertisement or affiliate link, in order to attribute referrals and commissions.
3. Cookies set by third parties
The cookies described above are largely set by third parties (Google and its ad partners). We do not control these cookies directly. The third parties that set them are responsible for their content, lifetime, and the data they collect, in line with their own privacy notices.
4. How to control cookies
Opt out of personalised Google ads
You can switch off personalised advertising from Google across all sites that use Google's ad services through Google Ads Settings. You will still see ads on the Site, but they will be less tailored to your inferred interests.
Industry opt-out tools
Several industry initiatives provide consolidated opt-out interfaces for personalised advertising:
- Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance)
- Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out (US)
- Network Advertising Initiative opt-out
Opt out of Google Analytics
You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Browser settings
All major browsers let you block, delete, or be notified about cookies through their settings:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Site. Blocking analytics or advertising cookies will not affect your ability to read the Site.
5. Do Not Track
Browsers can send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal as part of each request. Because there is no agreed standard for how a website should respond to DNT, the Site does not currently treat DNT as a request to disable analytics or advertising cookies. The opt-out tools above remain the most reliable way to express a preference.
6. Cookie retention
Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose:
- Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Analytics cookies typically persist for up to 26 months, the default Google Analytics retention period.
- Advertising cookies typically persist between 90 days and 18 months, depending on the third-party network.
7. Changes to this policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. The current version is always the one published on this page, dated above.
8. Contact
Questions about cookies or about how we handle personal data should be sent to [email protected]. See the privacy policy for the broader statement on data collection and your rights.
