Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the Journal of Biochemical and Clinical Genetics (JBCGenetics), published by Discover STM Publishing Ltd, Ireland, and owned by the Saudi Society of Medical Genetics, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, uses cookies and similar technologies on the website https://jbcgenetics.com (the "Website"). The Website is hosted and technically supported by Discover STM Publishing Ltd, Ireland.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. Similar technologies, such as scripts and tracking pixels, can also store or read information on your device. Websites use them to work properly, to remember information and to measure how they are used. JBCGenetics uses them for the purposes described below, and you can control them as explained in this Policy.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are needed for the Website to function and to keep it secure, and do not require consent. When we checked on 18 October 2026, requesting a page from the Website caused it to set two first-party cookies:
- jbcgenetics_session: a session cookie that allows the Website to function during your visit. Observed lifetime: two hours.
- XSRF-TOKEN: a security token that helps protect requests and forms against cross-site request forgery. Observed lifetime: two hours.
- These names, purposes and lifetimes were observed through ordinary checks and remain to be confirmed by the Website's developers. Other strictly necessary cookies may be added if the Website's functionality changes, in which case this Policy will be updated.
Preference, Analytics and Advertising Cookies
We have not identified any preference, analytics or advertising cookies on the Website. If any are introduced, they will be used only where the law allows, with your consent where it is required, and this Policy will be updated before they are used.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies, and can warn you when a cookie is set. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Website from working.
Other Services
Submission, login and account pages are provided on the ePublisyst platform, which has its own cookies that are not covered by this Policy. Some Website pages load standard code libraries from third-party content-delivery services, which receive technical request information such as your IP address; we have not verified whether they set cookies. Other service providers used by the journal are described in the Privacy Policy, and this Policy does not state that they set cookies on the Website.
