Cookie Policy

Scope

This Cookie Policy explains how the OBSDN web interface (the "Interface") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It supplements the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They let the site recognize your device, remember your preferences, and measure how the site is used.

Similar technologies covered by this policy include local storage, session storage, pixels, web beacons, and SDK identifiers. References to "cookies" in this policy include these technologies.

Cookies fall into two broad groups:

First-party cookies — set by OBSDN domains.
Third-party cookies — set by services OBSDN integrates with, such as analytics or error monitoring providers.

By duration:

Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies — remain until they expire or you delete them.

Required for the Interface to function. Examples: authentication state, CSRF protection, load balancing, geo-restriction enforcement, and basic security. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

Preferences

Remember choices you make to personalize your experience. Examples: selected market, chart layout, theme, language, and dismissed banners.

Analytics

Help OBSDN understand how the Interface is used so it can be improved. Examples: page views, click paths, latency measurements, feature engagement, and aggregated error rates. Where required by law, analytics cookies are set only with your consent.

Performance and Error Monitoring

Capture technical signals such as exceptions, stack traces, request timings, and session replays of error states. Used to diagnose bugs and improve reliability.

Marketing and Attribution

Track referral sources, campaign performance, and conversions for OBSDN programs (for example, referral codes). Set only where applicable and, where required, only with consent.

Where Cookies Are Set

Cookies may be set on:

The OBSDN Interface itself.
OBSDN documentation, status, and support sites.
Third-party services embedded in or linked from the Interface (for example, analytics, error monitoring, KYC providers, and customer support widgets).

Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties. OBSDN does not control their behavior.

Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

Cookie banner. Where shown, the banner lets you accept or reject non-essential categories. Your choice is stored and respected on subsequent visits.
Browser settings. All major browsers allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookies. Steps differ by browser — check your browser's help documentation.
Mobile OS controls. Mobile devices provide settings to limit ad tracking and reset advertising identifiers.
Do Not Track. OBSDN treats explicit consent signals (such as Global Privacy Control) as a request to disable non-essential cookies where required by law.

Blocking essential cookies will break parts of the Interface, including authentication and geo-restriction enforcement.

Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by category and purpose. Session cookies are removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire after a defined period — typically from minutes (security tokens) up to 24 months (analytics identifiers) — or until you delete them.

Changes to This Policy

OBSDN may update this Cookie Policy as cookies and tracking technologies change. Material changes will be announced through the Interface or other reasonable means. Continued use of the Interface after an update constitutes acceptance.

Contact

Questions about this Cookie Policy may be directed to OBSDN through the support channels listed on the Interface.
