1. Scope of This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to the AZOTH website and explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when visitors browse the site, create an account, log in, request wholesale access, submit forms, interact with the research catalog, place order requests, or communicate with AZOTH through the website.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with AZOTH’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Terms of Sale, and other applicable website policies.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies that may be placed on a device when a user visits a website. Cookies can help websites function properly, remember user preferences, support login sessions, improve site performance, and understand how visitors use the website.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, device identifiers, local storage, session storage, analytics tools, and server logs.

3. How AZOTH Uses Cookies

AZOTH may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain security, support verified account access, remember preferences, enable catalog and checkout functionality, manage form submissions, improve user experience, analyze website performance, and support administrative or operational communications.

AZOTH may also use cookies to help detect fraud, misuse, unauthorized access, suspicious activity, or technical errors affecting the website.

4. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to function properly. These cookies may support basic website operations, page navigation, account login, security, cart functionality, checkout or order request workflows, form functionality, and fraud prevention.

Because essential cookies are necessary for core website functionality, disabling them may prevent the website, account login, catalog access, form submissions, or order workflows from working correctly.

5. Preference Cookies

Preference cookies may be used to remember user selections, account-related settings, form preferences, region or display preferences, and other choices that help improve the browsing experience.

These cookies help the website remember information so users do not need to re-enter or reset certain preferences during future visits.

6. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance cookies may help AZOTH understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed, how visitors navigate the site, where errors occur, and how the website can be improved.

This information may be used to improve website performance, troubleshoot issues, refine site navigation, enhance content organization, and support a better user experience for verified account holders and visitors.

7. Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies

Security cookies and similar technologies may be used to help protect the website, verify sessions, prevent unauthorized access, detect suspicious activity, reduce spam, prevent misuse, and support account security.

These technologies may be used in connection with account login, form submissions, checkout workflows, security tools, fraud detection systems, and website protection services.

8. Marketing and Measurement Technologies

Where used and permitted, AZOTH may use marketing or measurement technologies to understand website traffic, evaluate newsletter performance, measure campaign effectiveness, or improve communications with interested users and verified accounts.

Some privacy laws may treat certain marketing, advertising, analytics, or measurement technologies as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. Eligible users may submit applicable opt-out requests through AZOTH’s Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.

9. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed by third-party service providers that support website hosting, payment processing, analytics, security, email delivery, form functionality, fulfillment, customer support, or other website operations.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices. AZOTH does not control all third-party cookie practices.

10. Information Collected Through Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may collect or process information such as IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, pages visited, links clicked, referral source, approximate location derived from IP address, session activity, cookie identifiers, and similar technical information.

This information may be combined with other information associated with website activity, account activity, form submissions, or order-related interactions where permitted by applicable law.

11. Managing Cookies

Users may be able to manage cookies through browser settings, device settings, or available cookie controls. Browser settings may allow users to block, delete, restrict, or receive alerts about certain cookies.

Disabling cookies may affect website performance and may limit access to certain features, including account login, research catalog access, checkout or order request workflows, form submissions, and other website functionality.

12. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers may offer “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because there is not yet a uniform industry standard for how websites should respond to these signals, AZOTH may not respond to all browser-based Do Not Track signals.

Users may still manage cookies through browser settings or submit applicable privacy requests through the appropriate AZOTH policy pages where available.

13. Cookie Retention

Cookies may be session-based or persistent. Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies may remain on a device for a set period or until deleted by the user or browser.

Retention periods may vary depending on the cookie type, website function, third-party provider, user settings, and applicable operational or legal requirements.

14. Updates to This Cookie Policy

AZOTH may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acknowledgment of the updated Cookie Policy, where permitted by applicable law.
