Cookie policy.

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies stored on your device when you visit a website or use an online platform. They can help the platform work, keep you signed in, protect secure areas, remember preferences, measure performance, and support integrations.

This cookie policy explains how GC Scientific may use cookies, session storage, local storage, pixels, tags, logs, and similar technologies across the public website, authenticated member platform, dashboard, admin areas, protected resources, billing flows, contact forms, and future AI Companion features.

This policy should be read together with the GC Scientific privacy policy and terms of use.

Essential cookies are required for the website and platform to function properly. They may be used for login, authentication, secure sessions, protected routes, admin access, account status checks, CSRF protection, fraud prevention, security, load balancing, and platform reliability.

Without essential cookies, you may not be able to sign in, maintain a secure session, access the dashboard, open protected resources, manage billing, use admin features, or download member-only files.

Essential cookies do not require optional marketing consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the service you request.

GC Scientific may use secure authentication cookies to identify your logged-in session and confirm whether you have permission to access member-only pages, admin pages, billing pages, protected downloads, therapy profiles, resources, and vendor listings.

Session cookies may include security tokens, signed session identifiers, expiry information, role checks, account status references, and access control data.

You must not attempt to manipulate, reuse, share, decode, forge, bypass, or interfere with authentication cookies or session controls.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to detect suspicious activity, protect against unauthorised access, monitor repeated failed login attempts, prevent abuse of protected routes, secure file downloads, and support technical auditing.

Security logs may include IP address, user agent, request path, timestamp, account identifier, authentication state, download request, and other technical information needed to keep the platform secure.

These technologies help protect GC Scientific, members, administrators, platform content, private files, and restricted areas.

Preference cookies or local storage may be used to remember interface settings, display preferences, theme choices, account dropdown state, navigation preferences, and similar convenience settings.

Preference cookies are not always essential, but they may improve the platform experience by reducing repeated setup or repeated interface choices.

If you block preference cookies, core platform access may still work, but some interface preferences may reset.

GC Scientific may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors and members use the website and platform, identify popular pages, improve navigation, monitor errors, and improve reliability.

Analytics may include page views, device type, browser type, approximate location, referral source, feature usage, conversion events, and performance data.

Where analytics cookies require consent, they should only be used after appropriate consent is given. If analytics are not enabled, this section describes possible future use rather than guaranteed current use.

GC Scientific may use Stripe-hosted checkout, billing portal, subscription, payment, invoice, fraud prevention, and card management flows.

Stripe may set its own cookies or use similar technologies for payment security, fraud detection, checkout operation, compliance, payment method handling, customer portal features, and billing reliability.

Stripe cookies are controlled by Stripe. GC Scientific does not control all cookies set by Stripe-hosted pages or Stripe scripts.

GC Scientific may use GoHighLevel for contact enquiries, clinic enquiries, signup sync, membership interest tracking, CRM records, tags, and follow-up workflows.

If GoHighLevel forms, scripts, tracking tools, calendars, funnels, chat widgets, or CRM features are enabled, GoHighLevel may use cookies or similar technologies to support those features.

Where CRM tracking or marketing cookies require consent, they should only be used where appropriate consent or another lawful basis applies.

Cookies and technical logs may be used when you access protected resources or request member-only file downloads.

This helps GC Scientific confirm that your account has the correct access status before generating a temporary private download link or allowing access to a resource.

Download access may be logged for security, abuse prevention, audit, troubleshooting, and platform protection.

If the GC Scientific AI Companion is enabled, cookies or similar technologies may be used to maintain session state, connect interactions to your authenticated account, apply access rules, prevent abuse, and support safe operation.

AI Companion interactions may also be logged separately for security, quality control, debugging, fallback handling, abuse prevention, and platform improvement.

You must not submit patient records, urgent medical issues, prescribing requests, confidential clinical files, or sensitive regulated data through the AI Companion.

Third-party providers may set cookies or similar technologies when their services are used on or through GC Scientific. This may include Stripe, GoHighLevel, hosting providers, analytics providers, security providers, email providers, embedded content providers, or other integrations.

Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and may be subject to their own privacy policies, cookie policies, and terms.

GC Scientific is not responsible for cookies set by third-party websites reached through external links, vendor websites, payment flows, or embedded services outside its control.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete cookies, restrict third-party cookies, clear site data, or receive warnings before cookies are stored.

If GC Scientific provides a cookie banner or preference centre, you may also be able to manage optional cookie categories there.

Blocking essential cookies may prevent secure login, dashboard access, billing access, protected downloads, admin access, or other platform features from working correctly.

GC Scientific may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in cookies, analytics, CRM tools, payment providers, security systems, AI Companion features, legal requirements, or platform functionality.

The latest version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the website or platform after changes are published means the updated policy applies from the stated effective date.
