Cookie Policy

Optimoanalytics.com, like many other sites, uses small files called cookies to help us customize your experience. Find out more about cookies and how you can control them.

This page contains information on what ‘cookies’ are, the cookies used by Optimo Analytics’ website and how to switch cookies off in your browser. If it does not provide the information you were looking for, or you have any further questions about the use of cookies on optimoanalytics.com, please email [email protected].

What are ‘cookies’?

‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store things like user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a ‘memory’ for the website, so that it can recognise you when you come back and respond appropriately.

Cookies set by the website owner or service provider (in this case, Optimo Analytics) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or service you are using (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The third parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website or service in question and also when it visits certain other websites or services.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies monitor how users reached the Site, and how they interact with and move around once on the Site. These cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before.

If you are logged in, we will also know the details you gave to us for this, such as your username and email address.

Third party cookies

On some pages of our website, other organisations may also set their own anonymous cookies. They do this to track the success of their application, or to customize the application for you. Because of how cookies work, our website cannot access these cookies, nor can the other organisation access the data in cookies we use on our website.

Other tracking technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize the Site and improve your experience. A “web beacon” or “pixel tag” is tiny object or image embedded in a web page or email. They are used to track the number of users who have visited particular pages and viewed emails , and acquire other statistical data. They collect only a limited set of data, such as a cookie number, time and date of page or email view, and a description of the page or email on which they reside. Web beacons and pixel tags cannot be declined. However, you can limit their use by controlling the cookies that interact with them.
