Cookies are widely used by websites and applications to help remember small amounts of information and to give you a better experience using the website or application. For example, a cookie will help a website or application to recognise your device the next time you visit, so you don’t have to log on again.

Certain cookies contain a limited amount of personal information. For example, if you click “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you and will instead collect more general information to help us analyse how well our Website and Apps are performing overall so we can try and improve them.

The Life Science Feed uses cookies on its Website and Apps to perform different functions. These are grouped into four main categories:

Some essential functions of our Websites and Apps are only possible if cookies are stored persistently between each page you look at. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work.

We utilise other cookies to analyse how our visitors use our Websites and Apps and to monitor performance. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customising our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. These cookies also help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personalised experience on our site based on your previous visits and selections. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

In order to allow us to customise our content and advertising for you, we need to remember who you are and what you want. We use cookies to record your preferences regarding Website appearance, what content you’ve already read, and to present the information that is most relevant to you. Like most commercial publishers we also sell advertising space on some of our Websites. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They place cookies on your browser in order to track how many people have seen a particular ad, to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Your internet browser and our apps have tools that allow you to remove or block cookies. You can also specify which categories of cookies you want to accept through our cookie settings.
