This Cookie Policy explains how MatBook, Inc. ("MatBook," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at thernatbook.com and our research data management platform (collectively, the "Services"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect and use personal data.
By continuing to use our Services after reading this policy, you consent to the use of cookies as described herein, to the extent permitted by applicable law. You can withdraw your consent and manage your cookie preferences at any time using the methods described in Section 5 below.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to personalize the user experience.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, MatBook) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics services, support chat systems, and embedded content from other websites. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies:

We do not sell your personal data or use cross-site tracking cookies for behavioral advertising across third-party websites. Any marketing tracking we employ is limited to our own website and Services.
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. We use session cookies to maintain your login state and to enable core platform functionality during a browsing session. Session cookies do not collect information from your computer and do not persist after you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are read by the website that set them when you return. We use persistent cookies to remember your preferences and settings so you do not need to re-configure them on each visit. Persistent cookies set by MatBook expire at the times described in the table in Section 4, or when you clear your browser's cookies.
The following table describes the specific categories of cookies we deploy on our Services:

Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features of our Services, including the ability to log in. We recommend blocking only third-party cookies if you wish to maintain full platform functionality while limiting tracking.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript code from sharing information with Google Analytics about your browsing activity.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is currently no widely accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our Services do not change their behavior in response to DNT signals. We do, however, comply with your choices made through our cookie consent tool regardless of whether you have DNT enabled.
As described in the cookie table above, some cookies on our Services are set by third parties, including Google Analytics. These third parties may use the cookies they set to track your activity across multiple websites over time. We do not control the settings of third-party cookies, and you should refer to the privacy policies of those third parties for more information about how they use personal data collected through their cookies.
We have data processing agreements in place with our analytics providers that restrict their use of data collected through cookies on our Services to the purposes we specify (analytics and performance measurement) and prohibit them from using that data for their own advertising purposes or for sharing with additional third parties.
In jurisdictions where cookies constitute processing of personal data, you have rights in relation to that processing. These rights, which vary by jurisdiction, may include the right to access, correct, or delete personal data collected through cookies; the right to object to processing; and the right to withdraw consent. You can exercise these rights through the mechanisms described in Section 5 of this policy or by contacting us at privacy@matbook.io.
For users in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom: non-essential cookies require your specific consent under applicable law, and we will only set such cookies after you have affirmatively opted in through our consent tool. You can withdraw that consent at any time by accessing the preference management tool.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, in applicable law, or in our privacy practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, notify you through the cookie consent banner or by other means. Your continued use of our Services after an updated Cookie Policy takes effect indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
