Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can be used to make a site work correctly, remember preferences, or measure how the site is used.
GenXMap and OMICS4 (genxmap.com and omics4.com, the same company) use essential cookies required for the site to function correctly, for example, to remember your language preference and your cookie choice. On omics4.com, we also use analytics cookies (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4) to understand aggregate site usage (pages viewed, general location at country/region level, device type) so we can improve the site. These are only set after you accept them in the cookie banner shown on your first visit; if you decline, only essential cookies are used and no analytics data is sent to Google. On the store page only (omics4.com/store), the shop is provided by Ecwid (Lightspeed Commerce), which sets cookies needed for your basket and, if you open one, your customer account. They are set on that page alone, and only because the shop cannot work without them. Ecwid also tries to load third-party audience-measurement scripts; our security policy blocks them, so they never run. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies. If that changes, this policy will be updated in advance and your consent will be requested first.
On the contact page of omics4.com only, Google reCAPTCHA sets a security cookie used to tell human visitors from automated scripts. It is set when the contact moment you first interact with the form, not when the page opens. It is not used for advertising, profiling or audience measurement.
| Category | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core site functionality (e.g. language preference, cookie choice) | Active |
| Analytics | Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics 4: aggregate site usage | Used on omics4.com, only with your consent |
| Store | Ecwid (Lightspeed Commerce): basket and customer account | Active on the store page only |
| Marketing | Advertising and retargeting | Not currently in use |
| Security | Protects the contact form from automated submissions (Google reCAPTCHA) | Active |
You can change your analytics cookie choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, which reopens the consent banner. Most browsers also let you view, delete or block cookies through their settings. Restricting essential cookies may affect how parts of the site display or function.
We may update this policy as the site evolves. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
