Privacy & Cookie Policy

Who we are

Lips Nexora (lipsnexora.com) is a scholarly e-journal published by LIPS Research. This policy explains how the platform handles personal data for authors, reviewers, editors, and readers.

What we collect

• Account data — name, email address, affiliation, country, and ORCID iD provided when you register or are invited to a role.
• Submission data — manuscripts, co-author details, declarations, and review correspondence, processed solely to run peer review and publishing.
• Usage counts — anonymous, aggregate article view and download counters. We do not build individual visitor profiles.

Cookies we use

• ln_session (strictly necessary) — an encrypted, httpOnly session cookie that keeps you signed in. It contains no tracking identifiers and expires after 7 days.
• Cloudflare Turnstile (strictly necessary) — spam protection on login, registration, and submission forms may set short-lived cookies to verify you are human.
• ln-cookie-consent (preference) — remembers your choice on the cookie notice, stored in your browser's local storage.

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party analytics profiles.

Legal bases & retention

Account and submission data are processed to perform the publishing agreement with you and to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record. Published articles and their metadata are retained permanently as part of that record. You may request correction or deletion of your account data (subject to the requirements of the published record) by contacting [email protected].

Data sharing

Metadata of published articles (titles, authors, affiliations, abstracts, DOIs) is shared openly with indexing services such as Google Scholar and OAI-PMH harvesters — this is the purpose of scholarly publishing. Manuscript files under review are visible only to the editorial team and assigned reviewers under the journal's double-blind policy.
