This Cookie Policy explains how Decoy Therapeutics, Inc. (“Decoy Therapeutics,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on decoytx.com (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
By continuing to use our Website, or where required by law, by giving your consent through our cookie banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time (see “How to Manage Cookies” below).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website’s owners.
We also use similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, which function in comparable ways. In this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies.”
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser; or
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
Cookies may also be either first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by an organization other than us, such as an analytics or content provider).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Enable the Website to function and display correctly;
- Remember your preferences and settings;
- Understand how visitors find and use our Website so we can improve it; and
- Support certain embedded content and features.
We do not use cookies to collect health information, and our Website is intended for general corporate, investor, and informational purposes rather than for the delivery of medical services.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Note for review: The specific cookies below should be confirmed against an up-to-date scan of the live site (for example, using a cookie-audit tool). Our Website is built on WordPress and may use additional plug-in, analytics, or embedded-content cookies not individually listed here.
a. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to operate. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, security, and load balancing. Because the site cannot function properly without them, they cannot be switched off in our systems. These are typically set by our website platform (WordPress) and may include session identifiers and security tokens.
Consent is generally not required for strictly necessary cookies.
b. Functional / Preference Cookies
These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferences) to provide a more personalized experience. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
c. Analytics / Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information on an aggregated basis, for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter errors. This helps us improve how the Website works. If we use a service such as Google Analytics, that provider may set its own cookies for this purpose.
d. Third-Party and Embedded Content Cookies
Some pages include content hosted by third parties (for example, embedded videos, linked PDFs and presentations, or social media links such as LinkedIn). These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content, and their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Please note that our investor relations pages at investors.decoytx.com are operated on a separate third-party platform. Cookies used on that subdomain may differ from those described here and may be subject to the platform provider’s own policies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We do not control cookies set by third parties, and this policy does not cover their use of cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with, which may include (as applicable):
- Google (analytics and/or cloud-related services): https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy
- YouTube / Google (for any embedded video content)
- [Add any other third-party services in use]
5. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for controlling or limiting how cookies are used:
- Cookie banner / preference tool: Where available, you can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or preference settings on our Website. [Confirm that a consent tool is in place, especially for visitors in the EU/UK.]
- Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. The “Help” function in your browser should explain how. Note that blocking some types of cookies may affect how the Website functions.
- Analytics opt-outs: If we use Google Analytics, you can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Industry opt-out tools: You can learn more about managing advertising cookies at http://www.aboutads.info/choices (US), https://www.youronlinechoices.eu (EU), and https://optout.networkadvertising.org.

6. Your Rights and Consent
Depending on where you are located, you may have rights regarding your personal information and choices about cookies:
- Visitors in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom: We will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you may withdraw consent at any time.
- Visitors in the United States: Depending on your state (for example, under the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to opt out of certain uses of personal information collected through cookies.
For more information about how we handle personal information and the rights available to you, please see our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
