ABOUT OUR USE OF COOKIES

Our site uses cookies and other similar technology in particular in order to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allows us to improve our site and provide content tailored to your language or interests.

I. General Cookie information

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a site and allow a site to recognize your device. Cookies managed by Slalom only are called “first party cookies” whereas cookies from third parties are called “third party cookies,” as explained more below. Cookies do a lot of different jobs, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. In addition, cookies can help us to analyze the use of our websites and online content (analytics cookies) and they can also facilitate/track the interaction on our websites and online content with social media (e.g. links to social media sites, like buttons, etc.). Each cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie and usually the IP address or another unique number of the device.

We may also use web beacons, conversion pixels, or other technologies on our sites and in marketing e-mail messages to determine whether messages have been opened and links clicked on. Web beacons are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a webpage for the purpose of transferring data, such as the IP address of the device that downloaded the page on which the web beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the web beacon appears, the time the page containing the web beacon was viewed, the type of browser that fetched the web beacon, and the identification number of any cookie on the device previously placed by that server. Conversion pixels are small codes located on a particular web page which are triggered when someone visits a page resulting in an increase in the conversion count. The information provided in this Cookie Policy also applies to web beacons and conversion pixels.

We may in the future use information collected from our cookies to identify user behavior and to serve content and offers based on your profile, and for the other purposes described below, to the extent legally permissible in certain jurisdictions.

We may combine data from publicly available sources, and from our different e-mail, website, and personal interactions with you (this includes information collected across our careers pages and information collected when you submit a contact form, to the extent legally permissible. We combine this data to better assess your experience with Oktana and to perform the other activities described throughout our Privacy Policy.

To the extent you consented, some cookies, web beacons and other tracking and storage technologies that we use are from third-party companies (i.e. third-party cookies) to provide us with web analytics and intelligence about our sites which may also at some point be used to provide measurement services and target ads. These companies use programming code to collect information about your interaction with our sites, such as the pages you visit, the links you click on and how long you are on our sites. This code is only active while you are on an Oktana website. While we may allow third parties to access the website to place these cookies on users’ devices, we do not retain control over the information supplied by the cookies, nor do we retain access to that data. The information is controlled wholly by that third party.

You can adjust your Cookie Settings at any time in any browser or on any platform. If you want to remove existing cookies from your device or block future cookies being placed on your device, you can do this using your browser options. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

II. Details on the cookies and tracking technologies used on the website and the legal bases

Cookie List

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.    You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

III. Withdrawing consent, Disabling, and/or Browser settings

To the extent that you have given consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by contacting us at trust [at] oktana [dot] com. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the withdrawal of consent.

Most web browsers include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we may not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.

Note that if you withdraw your consent or disable cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our websites. In particular, you may have limited access to some areas or be transitioned to a different experience.
