How we use cookies and tracking technologies.

This Cookie Policy explains how Geocoupler ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or use the Geocoupler platform and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By continuing to use the Service, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can control and manage cookies in various ways as described below, but please note that removing or blocking certain cookies may impact your experience of the Service.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website or use an online service. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to the site owner.

Cookies can be "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. We use both types.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. This Cookie Policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take such as logging in, setting your privacy preferences, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Performance and analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of the Service. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors navigate the platform. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous.

Functional cookies enable the Service to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, language settings, or the last page you visited. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use.

Targeting and advertising cookies may be set through the Service by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but uniquely identify your browser and device.

Some cookies on the Service are placed by third parties such as analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) and support tools. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites.

We do not control third-party cookies and their use is subject to the respective third party's privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through or in connection with the Service.

We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our Service. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Service, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to visiting. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies for a website. Please be aware that if you delete or block cookies, your experience on the Service may be affected and some features may not work as intended.

To manage cookies through your browser settings, please refer to the help documentation for your specific browser. Common browsers include Chrome (Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies), Firefox (Options > Privacy & Security), Safari (Preferences > Privacy), and Edge (Settings > Site Permissions > Cookies).

You may also opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page at optout.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, and the Service does not currently respond to DNT signals.

However, you can use the tools described in the "Managing Your Cookie Preferences" section above to limit tracking on our Service, regardless of your DNT browser setting.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of the Service after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, please contact us at support@geocoupler.com
