Effective Date: February 17, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SignaGen Laboratories (“SignaGen,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.signagen.com (the “Site”), and the choices you have.

---

1) What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, remember preferences, and provide analytics and advertising features. Cookies can be:

• Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
• Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them)

---

2) Similar Technologies We May Use

In addition to cookies, we may use:

• Web beacons / pixels (small images or code that help measure page views and email interactions)
• Local storage (browser-based storage used to remember preferences)
• Software development kits (SDKs) (typically used in mobile contexts; if applicable)

For simplicity, we refer to all these as “cookies” in this policy.

---

3) Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for the Site to work and cannot be switched off in most systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as:

• Navigating pages
• Setting privacy preferences
• Logging in (if applicable)
• Using shopping cart and checkout features (if applicable)
• Security and fraud prevention

B. Functional Cookies

These help the Site remember your choices and provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as:

• Remembering language or region
• Saving form inputs (where appropriate)
• Keeping your preferences for future visits

C. Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages visited, time on site, error messages), so we can improve performance and user experience.

D. Advertising / Targeting Cookies (If Enabled)

These cookies may be set by us or advertising partners to:

• Show relevant ads on other websites
• Measure the effectiveness of campaigns
• Limit the number of times you see an ad

If SignaGen does not run behavioral advertising, you may still see this category referenced because certain third-party tools can enable it depending on configuration.

---

4) Cookies We Use

The specific cookies on your device may change depending on the pages you visit and the features enabled on the Site. Common categories include:

• Security cookies (to protect the Site and visitors)
• Preference cookies (to remember settings)
• Analytics cookies (to measure and improve the Site)
• E-commerce cookies (to support cart/checkout, order flow, and fraud checks where applicable)

For the most accurate, real-time list, please use your browser cookie viewer or any cookie banner/preferences tool presented on the Site.

---

5) Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on our Site, such as:

• Website analytics providers
• Payment and fraud prevention providers (for checkout)
• Embedded content (e.g., videos or maps)
• Customer support tools

Third parties may use cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies where applicable.

---

6) Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

A. Cookie Consent Banner / Preference Center (If Available)

If the Site provides a cookie banner or preferences center, you can manage non-essential cookies there at any time.

B. Browser Controls

Most browsers let you:

• View cookies stored on your device
• Delete cookies
• Block cookies (all or certain sites)
• Set rules for third-party cookies

Note: Blocking some cookies may affect Site functionality (e.g., login, cart, forms).

C. Opting Out of Analytics

If we use analytics tools, they may offer opt-out mechanisms. You can also limit data collection using browser settings or privacy extensions.

D. Advertising Choices

If advertising cookies are enabled, you can often opt out of interest-based advertising through industry programs and your device settings. Opting out does not remove ads—it may make them less relevant.

---

7) Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. Because there is not yet a consistent industry standard for honoring DNT, our Site may not respond to DNT signals in a uniform way. Where required by law, we will honor applicable opt-out preference signals as implemented on the Site.

---

8) Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. The “Effective Date” at the top indicates when this policy was last updated.
