Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are generally deleted when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them manually.

The exact duration of a cookie may depend on its purpose and the service that places it.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Most modern browsers allow you to:

• View stored cookies.
• Delete existing cookies.
• Block certain cookies.
• Block all cookies.
• Receive notifications when cookies are being used.

Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of ScooNest. In particular, disabling necessary cookies may prevent login, authentication, security features, or other essential functions from operating correctly.

Your preferences may be stored using a cookie or similar technology so that we can remember your selection.

10. Do Not Track Signals
