Detailed cookie information: Cookie Policy
Advertising
GenoMethods currently displays third-party advertising through Google AdSense.
Google and related advertising technologies may process information for ad delivery, measurement, fraud and invalid-traffic prevention, frequency management and personalization where applicable.
Third-party services process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Analytics
GenoMethods does not currently identify Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity or another separate analytics platform as part of its published site configuration.
If a dedicated analytics service is introduced, this policy should be updated to identify the service and explain its role.
Third-Party Services and External Links
The third-party advertising service currently used by GenoMethods is Google AdSense.
GenoMethods may also link to research databases, publishers, regulatory portals, company websites and other external resources. Those services have their own privacy practices, and following a link may place the reader in a different service environment.
Retention and Security
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for communication, security, operational or record-keeping needs.
GenoMethods takes reasonable steps to protect site operations and information, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
- manage cookie preferences where controls are available;
- block third-party cookies through browser settings;
- delete stored cookies;
- adjust device or browser privacy settings;
- adjust advertising-personalization settings where available.
Contact and Policy Changes
This policy may be updated if data practices, advertising services, analytics tools or other relevant technologies change. Updating the policy is intended to keep the description aligned with the site's actual configuration.
