How We Use Cookies on scalexo.company
This policy explains why we use small text files (cookies) to enhance your browsing experience, analyze our marketing performance, and ensure our site functions as intended. We believe in clear, readable explanations—no legal jargon.
What Cookies Do We Use?
1. Essential Cookies
These are strictly necessary for the website to function. They remember your cookie consent preferences, enable secure login sessions, and maintain basic site navigation. You cannot opt-out of these cookies as the site would not work without them.
2. Performance & Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with scalexo.company. They help us identify which content resonates, measure campaign effectiveness, and improve site speed. The data is aggregated and anonymous—we don't track individual users.
3. Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences to provide a personalized experience, like your preferred language or region. They enhance usability but are not essential for the core site operation.
4. Targeting & Advertising Cookies
Third-party services (like Google Analytics) may use these to deliver content relevant to your interests. You have full control over these via your browser settings or our consent banner. We only activate these after your explicit consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by services integrated into our site (e.g., embedded maps, video players). These providers have their own privacy policies. We review and vet all third-party tools for compliance.
Cookie Lifespan
- Session Cookies Deleted when browser closes
- Persistent Cookies 30 days to 2 years
- Advertising Cookies Up to 13 months
Transparency in Practice
Our commitment to clear data practices extends beyond policy documents. Here's how we implement these principles daily.
Technical Verification
Our dev team regularly audits cookie implementation to ensure no data leakage and minimal footprint.
Legal Review
Our Paris-based legal team reviews all tracking technologies against GDPR and ePrivacy Directive.
User Control
You can change preferences anytime via our consent banner or browser settings. No data loss on opt-out.
Questions We're Asked About Cookies
Can you track me across other websites?
No. Our cookies are first-party, meaning they only work on scalexo.company. We don't use cross-site tracking pixels or participate in advertising networks that build profiles across the web.
What happens if I delete cookies?
Essential cookies will be regenerated on your next visit. Functional preferences (like language) will reset. Analytics cookies will treat you as a new visitor. You can adjust consent anytime.
Do you sell data to third parties?
No. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Cookie data is aggregated for internal analytics only. We partner with service providers under strict data processing agreements.
How does this affect EU visitors?
We follow GDPR: no essential cookies load until consent is given. We store preferences for 6 months. You have the right to access, delete, or port your data by emailing [email protected].
Are social media buttons tracking me?
Social sharing buttons on our site don't load tracking scripts until you click them. When clicked, those platforms use their own cookies—we have no control over their data practices.
How often is this policy updated?
We review our cookie practices quarterly and update this policy whenever we add new tracking technologies. Significant changes will be announced on our homepage for 30 days.
Common Cookie Implementation Mistakes
Here are pitfalls we see agencies make—and how we avoid them at scalexo.
Over-collection
Tracking every micro-interaction without clear purpose creates compliance risk and slows down the site.
Our approach: We define a measurement plan first, then implement cookies only for KPIs we actively review.
Consent Banners That Lie
Many sites claim "essential" cookies that are actually tracking pixels. This violates GDPR principles.
Our approach: We separate truly essential cookies (security, login) from all others and show them in plain language.
No Audit Trail
Adding new tools without updating policies or testing cookie behavior breaks compliance over time.
Our approach: Every new integration goes through a cookie impact assessment and policy review before launch.
