Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Spectral Compute ("we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://scale-lang.com/ ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

For further information on how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, us) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

How and Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for one primary purpose: to understand how our Website is used so we can improve the user experience. We use Google Analytics for this, which helps us analyze traffic and usage patterns.

The information we collect is aggregated and anonymous, and it is not used to identify you personally. This data includes:

The number of visitors to our Website.
The pages visitors have visited on our Website.
The approximate geographical location of a visitor.
The type of device and browser being used.
How long visitors stay on our Website.

Types of Cookies We Use

Analytical/Performance Cookies

These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our Website and how users use the Website. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses its own cookies to track visitor interactions. These cookies are used to store information, such as what time the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before, and what site referred the visitor to the web page.

The specific Google Analytics cookies we use are:

_ga: Used to distinguish unique users. It has a default expiration of 2 years.
_gid: Used to distinguish unique users. It has a default expiration of 24 hours.
_gat_gtag_UA_...: Used to throttle the request rate. It has a default expiration of 1 minute.

Third-Party Cookies

As mentioned, the analytics cookies on our site are provided by the third-party service, Google Analytics. Google has its own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control.

You can learn more about how Google uses this information by visiting the Google partner sites policy.
For more information on Google Analytics cookies, please see the official Google cookies documentation.

Social Media Links

Our Website contains links to our social media pages (e.g., Reddit). These are simple links and do not use any plugins or widgets from the social media companies. If you click on these links, you will be taken to that third party's website. These sites have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to read them.

Your Choices: How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

1. Our Cookie Consent Banner When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can accept or decline the use of non-essential cookies (like our analytics cookies). If you decline, the Google Analytics cookies will not be placed on your device.

2. Browser Controls You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though some functionality may be impaired. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

3. Google Analytics Opt-out To provide website visitors with more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. You can download and install the add-on here.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
