Cookie Policy
Last Updated: September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Oligoclase ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies, pixels, web beacons, local storage objects, software development kits (SDKs), and similar tracking technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on oligoclase.info and any related websites, applications, and services that link to this policy (the "Services"). This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes in greater detail how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information, and our Terms of Service, which govern your use of the Services.
By continuing to browse or use the Services, you acknowledge that Cookies will be placed on your device as described in this policy, and you agree to the practices described here. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential Cookies. If you do not agree with the use of Cookies as described in this policy, you should refrain from using the Services and take steps to disable or delete Cookies through your browser settings or our preference tools described below.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize your browser, remember your preferences and actions over time, and distinguish you from other visitors. Cookies are widely used to make websites function efficiently and to provide website operators with information about how their services are accessed and used.
Cookies may be classified in several ways. "Session Cookies" are temporary and are erased automatically when you close your browser. "Persistent Cookies" remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually. "First-party Cookies" are set by us directly on the Oligoclase you are visiting, while "third-party Cookies" are set by a Oligoclase other than the one you are visiting, typically by service providers that deliver functionality, analytics, or advertising on our behalf.
In addition to Cookies, we and our third-party partners may use other tracking technologies, including web beacons (also known as "clear gifs" or "pixel tags"), which are tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us measure engagement and verify activity; local storage and session storage, which allow data to be stored locally in your browser; and mobile identifiers, such as advertising IDs, that serve functions similar to Cookies on mobile devices. References to "Cookies" in this policy include these comparable technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
Cookies themselves do not typically contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, information collected through Cookies may be associated with your device, browser, IP address, account, or other identifiers, and may constitute "personal information," "personal data," or a "sale" or "share" under applicable law. Where that is the case, we handle such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the choices described in this Cookie Policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use Cookies for the categories of purposes described in the sections that follow: (a) Essential Cookies, which are necessary for the Services to operate; (b) Analytics Cookies, which help us understand how the Services are used; (c) Marketing Cookies, which are used to deliver and measure advertising and to reach users with relevant content; and (d) Third-Party Cookies, which are placed by our service providers and partners within the categories above. Some Cookies may fall within more than one category depending on how they are configured and used.
The specific Cookies we deploy may change from time to time as we modify the Services, adopt new technologies, or engage or disengage service providers. A current list of the Cookies in use, together with their provider, purpose, type (session or persistent), and retention period, is made available through our cookie preference tool, which is accessible from the cookie banner or footer of the Services. We encourage you to review that tool periodically, as it reflects the most current, cookie-level information we maintain.
Because we operate primarily in the United States and serve users across multiple states, we apply an opt-out model rather than an opt-in consent model for non-essential Cookies. This means that, subject to applicable law, Analytics and Marketing Cookies may be placed when you use the Services, and you have the right to opt out of certain uses, including the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, "CCPA/CPRA"), and comparable provisions of other applicable state privacy laws.
2.1 Legal Basis and Scope
We place Essential Cookies on the basis of our legitimate operational necessity and, where applicable, to perform our contractual obligations to you. We place Analytics and Marketing Cookies on the basis of your continued use of the Services and your ability to opt out as described in this policy. Where a specific state statute requires notice, disclosure, or an opt-out mechanism, we will comply with that statute. This policy is not intended to create rights in any jurisdiction where such rights are not provided by law.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential Cookies are strictly necessary for the Services to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool without materially impairing your ability to use the Services. These Cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure log-in and authentication, session management, load balancing, security and fraud prevention, account verification, and the storage of your privacy and consent preferences. Without these Cookies, features you request, such as accessing your account or dashboard, may not be available.
Examples of Essential Cookie functions include: maintaining your authenticated session so you are not required to log in repeatedly; remembering items you have added or changes you have made within a single session; distributing traffic across servers to maintain performance and reliability; detecting and mitigating malicious activity, bots, and unauthorized access; and recording whether you have exercised a privacy choice so that we can honor it consistently across your interactions with the Services.
Essential Cookies may be session-based or persistent, and they may be set by us or by trusted service providers acting on our behalf. Because these Cookies are required for the operation and security of the Services, they are not subject to opt-out through our preference tool. However, you may generally block or delete them through your browser settings, understanding that doing so may prevent the Services from working properly and may affect security and account access. We are not responsible for any degradation of functionality resulting from your decision to block Essential Cookies.
4. Analytics Cookies
Analytics Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Services by collecting information such as the pages viewed, the time spent on pages, the referring source that brought you to the Services, navigation paths, approximate geographic region derived from IP address, device type, browser version, and general usage patterns. We use this information to measure and improve the performance, usability, content, and features of the Services.
Analytics information is generally aggregated or de-identified, but it may in some circumstances be linked to persistent identifiers, such as a Cookie ID or device identifier, that allow us to recognize a returning browser over time. Where such identifiers constitute personal information under applicable law, we treat them in accordance with this policy and our Privacy Policy. We may use both our own analytics tools and third-party analytics providers, including providers of web analytics and product analytics services.
You may opt out of Analytics Cookies using our cookie preference tool where available, by exercising your opt-out rights under CCPA/CPRA where applicable, or by configuring your browser to block Cookies from analytics providers. Please note that opting out of Analytics Cookies does not prevent us from collecting information through Essential Cookies or from processing information that you provide directly to us, and it may reduce our ability to improve the Services for users generally.
5. Marketing Cookies
Marketing Cookies are used to deliver advertising and promotional content that may be more relevant to you, to limit the number of times you see a given advertisement, to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and to understand whether you take actions such as registering for or engaging with the Services after viewing an advertisement. These Cookies may track your browsing activity across the Services and, in some cases, across other websites and applications over time.
Marketing Cookies may be placed by us or by third-party advertising networks, demand-side platforms, measurement providers, and social media platforms. Where permitted by law, information collected through these Cookies, such as Cookie IDs, device identifiers, IP address, and inferred interests or audience segments, may be disclosed to advertising partners and may constitute a "sale" or "share" of personal information under CCPA/CPRA and comparable state privacy laws.
You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may exercise this right by using our cookie preference tool, by clicking the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link made available on the Services, or by broadcasting an opt-out preference signal, such as a Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal, that we are required to honor under applicable law. Opting out of Marketing Cookies will not stop you from seeing advertisements, but the advertisements you see may be less relevant to your interests. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right, as further described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some Cookies on the Services are set and controlled by third parties, including analytics providers, advertising networks, social media companies, payment processors, customer support platforms, content delivery networks, and other service providers that support the functionality and performance of the Services. We do not control the data collection practices of these third parties, and their use of Cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Third-party Cookies may enable a third party to recognize your device when you visit the Services and other websites, allowing them to compile information about your browsing activity over time and across different websites and applications. This information may be used for analytics, measurement, advertising, personalization, and other purposes described in the third party's policies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties to understand how they handle information.
We select third parties with care, but we are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or Cookie practices of any third party. Your interactions with third-party Cookies and the privacy choices available to you with respect to those parties are governed by the applicable third party's terms and policies. If you have questions about a third party's Cookie practices, please contact that third party directly.
7. How to Control Cookies
You have several options for controlling Cookies. First, where available, our cookie preference tool allows you to review the Cookies in use, adjust your choices for Analytics and Marketing Cookies, and submit an opt-out request regarding the sale or sharing of your personal information. Second, you may use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on the Services to exercise applicable privacy rights. Third, where required by law, we honor opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control signals, transmitted by your browser or browser extension.
You may also opt out of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out mechanisms operated by organizations such as the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative, and you may reset or limit the use of mobile advertising identifiers through the settings of your mobile operating system. Please note that these opt-out tools rely on Cookies or device identifiers, so if you delete Cookies or reset your identifier, you may need to renew your choices.
Opting out of non-essential Cookies may affect the functionality and features available to you and may limit our ability to personalize your experience or measure the effectiveness of our Services. We nevertheless will honor verified opt-out requests as required by applicable law. If you submit a request to delete personal information, we may retain information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, maintain security, and exercise or defend legal claims, as described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to manage Cookies through their settings menus. Common controls include viewing and deleting existing Cookies, blocking Cookies from specific websites or all websites, blocking third-party Cookies, and enabling private or incognito browsing modes. For instructions specific to your browser, please consult your browser's help documentation or the settings menu of your device or application.
Please be aware that blocking all Cookies, including Essential Cookies, may prevent parts of the Services from functioning properly, may impair security features, and may prevent you from accessing your account or completing transactions. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you must change your settings in each browser and on each device to reflect your preferences.
Some browsers and extensions also support opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, that communicate your choices automatically. Where required by applicable law, we treat such signals as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Because browser configurations and device settings vary, we cannot guarantee that every browser-based control will operate with respect to all Cookies, and we are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or performance of third-party browser tools.
9. Updates to Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Cookies we use, our practices, our service providers, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Material changes that significantly affect how we use Cookies or your rights may also be communicated through a notice on the Services, through the cookie preference tool, or by other means where required by applicable law.
Your continued use of the Services after an updated Cookie Policy becomes effective constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree to the revised policy, you should discontinue use of the Services and take steps to disable or delete Cookies as described above. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about our use of Cookies.
The current version of this Cookie Policy supersedes all prior versions and controls with respect to our use of Cookies. In the event of any conflict between this Cookie Policy and a separate agreement you have entered into with us regarding Cookies, the terms of this Cookie Policy will apply unless expressly stated otherwise in that separate agreement. Nothing in this policy limits any rights you may have under applicable law that cannot be waived or limited by agreement.
