Cookie Policy
Last updated 20 July 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies ScholarDeck uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use similar technologies such as local storage for the same purposes.
2. The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
- Authentication. Keeps you signed in and secures your session. The service cannot work without it.
- Security. Helps protect against cross-site request forgery and abuse.
Functional
- Dark-mode preference. Remembers whether you chose light or dark so the page does not flash on load.
Analytics (privacy-respecting)
- We may use product analytics to understand which features are used, in aggregate, so we can improve them. This is not used to track you across other websites, and we do not sell this data.
3. Third-party cookies
Signing in uses Google, which may set its own cookies as part of the authentication flow, governed by Google's own policies. When you click through to a paper on PubMed, a journal, or a DOI resolver, that third-party site sets its own cookies, which we do not control.
4. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to refuse them. Blocking the strictly necessary sign-in cookie will prevent you from logging in. Where the law requires consent for non-essential cookies, we will ask for it before setting them.
5. Changes
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. The date above shows when it was last revised.
