Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Optery, Inc. (“Optery,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our websites (including optery.com and its subdomains), use our web or mobile application, or interact with our emails and online content. This policy applies to all Optery products and services that link to or incorporate it by reference.

For more information about how we handle your personal data generally, please see our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by a website or application. They allow the site to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions.

We use cookies alongside other similar technologies, including:

For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies” unless otherwise specified.

Types of Cookies

By Duration:

• Session Cookies are temporary. They exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close it. We use session cookies for things like maintaining your login state as you navigate between pages.
• Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (which varies by cookie) or until you delete them. They help us recognize you as a returning user and remember your preferences across visits.

By Source:

• First-Party Cookies are set directly by Optery (i.e., by the optery.com domain or its subdomains).
• Third-Party Cookies are set by other organizations whose services are integrated into or used by our website and application, such as analytics providers, advertising platforms, or customer support tools.

How Does Optery Use Cookies?

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Authentication and Security: We use cookies to verify your identity when you log into your Optery account, keep your session active, and help protect your account from unauthorized access. These cookies support security features such as fraud detection and session management. Given the sensitivity of the personal data our platform handles, these are fundamental to our service. Optery supports multiple sign-in methods, including Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In, passkeys, and single sign-on (SSO). When you use one of these methods, your browser may exchange cookies or tokens with the respective identity provider (e.g., Google or Apple) to complete authentication. Optery does not receive or store your password from these providers.

Essential Site Operations: Certain cookies are required for the basic functionality of our website and application, including navigating pages, accessing secure areas, filling out forms, and remembering your consent preferences (e.g., cookie banner choices).

Analytics and Performance: We use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website and application, including which pages are visited most often, how users navigate through the site, and where errors occur. This data helps us improve the user experience and the effectiveness of our services. Analytics data is collected in aggregate or pseudonymized form where possible. Certain analytics cookies may store your IP address or device-level identifiers to attribute website visits to traffic sources.

Functionality and Personalization: We use cookies to remember your settings and preferences, such as language, time zone, display options, and previously viewed content, so you do not need to re-enter them each time you visit. We also host and embed video content on our website, which may involve the use of cookies or local storage to remember playback preferences and enable video functionality.

Advertising and Marketing: We may use cookies to deliver, measure, and improve the relevance of advertisements for Optery’s services on third-party platforms. These cookies help us understand which marketing channels and campaigns are effective, track conversions (e.g., sign-ups originating from an ad), and limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement.

Email Engagement: We use pixel tags and similar identifiers in our emails, powered by service providers like Customer.io or Hubspot, to determine whether an email was opened and whether links within the email were clicked. This helps us improve our communications and send relevant content.

What Cookies Do We Use?

The tables below list the specific cookies and similar technologies used across Optery’s websites and applications, organized by category. We review and update these tables periodically, but cookie names and providers may change over time.

Strictly Necessary Cookies 

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and services. They cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.

Analytics Cookies 

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website and application so we can measure and improve performance.

Functional Cookies 

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your settings.

Marketing / Advertising Cookies 

These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness. This category includes cookies placed by social media platforms (such as YouTube, Meta, LinkedIn, and Reddit) when their content is embedded on our website or when we use their advertising services.

Your Choices

You have several options for controlling or limiting how cookies are used.

Your Privacy Choices / Cookie Consent Preferences You can exercise your right to opt-out of sale/sharing of your personal information by clicking on the “Your Privacy Choices” link in our website footer. To update other cookie preferences, click the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of our website. Where required by applicable law (e.g., for visitors in the EU/UK), non-essential cookies will not be placed until you affirmatively opt in.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) Our website recognizes and respects the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request for the sale or sharing of personal information and for targeted advertising, where applicable under law.

Do Not Track (DNT) There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Optery does not respond to DNT signals from browsers at this time.

Browser Settings Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. The following links provide instructions for the most common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge
• Opera
• Brave

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may impair certain features of our website and application, including the ability to log into your account.

Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising We use advertising cookies from Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Spotify. You can opt out of interest-based advertising through the following industry programs:

• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
• Your Online Choices (EU)

Opting out through these programs does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements entirely. You will still see ads, but they will no longer be tailored to your inferred interests.

Google Analytics Opt-Out We use Google Analytics to measure website performance. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge). We also use Microsoft Clarity, Amplitude, and PostHog for product and website analytics.

Yahoo Advertising Opt-Out We use Yahoo advertising cookies for cross-site ad attribution. You can opt out through the Yahoo Privacy Dashboard.

Mobile Device Controls On mobile devices, your operating system may provide settings to limit ad tracking, such as “Turn Off Personalized Ads” on iOS or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android. Consult your device manufacturer’s documentation for more details.

Third Parties

Note: Optery does not control the cookies set by these third parties. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for information about their data practices and your opt-out options.

How Long Are Cookies Retained?

Cookie retention periods vary depending on the type and purpose of the cookie. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have specific expiration dates, which are listed in the cookie tables above. We review cookie retention periods periodically and only retain cookies for as long as necessary for their stated purpose.

When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and, where required by law, provide additional notice (such as a banner on our website or a notification in our application).

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website and services after changes are posted constitutes your acknowledgment of those changes.
