1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how ClientScan Limited, trading as TakeNote.ai ("we", "us", "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.takenote.ai ("Website").
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle your personal data.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to website operators.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services the website uses ("third-party cookies"). Cookies may persist on your device for varying durations: "session cookies" are deleted when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain until they expire or you delete them.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Website. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, account security, and session management. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent.

It runs only on our public website pages and never inside the TakeNote app. If you reject analytics, or change your choice from Accept to Reject, we stop loading these tools and delete the Google Analytics cookies listed below.

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites in order to display relevant advertisements. They are set by third-party advertising partners and may be used to build a profile of your interests. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to you.
We will only set marketing cookies with your explicit consent.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
When you first visit the Website, a cookie consent banner will allow you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies are only set after you give consent. Closing the banner without choosing is not consent: nothing is loaded, and the banner appears again on your next visit. You can change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link in the Website footer, or here: .
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block or delete cookies, or to notify you before a cookie is set.
