Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Olivenite ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and SaaS platform located at olivenite.net (the "Site"). As a provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, we rely on these technologies to operate our platform, secure our infrastructure, and understand how our users interact with our services. We are committed to transparency and complying with all applicable United States privacy and data protection laws.

In the United States, there is no federal omnibus privacy statute governing cookies. Instead, our use of tracking technologies is governed by a patchwork of federal sectoral laws and state comprehensive privacy laws. Under the Federal Trade Commission Act § 5, 15 U.S.C. § 45 (FTC Act — unfair/deceptive practices), we are legally bound to honor the privacy promises we make in this policy. Furthermore, state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (Va. Code § 59.1-575 et seq.) grant consumers specific rights regarding the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information for targeted advertising, which often involves the use of marketing cookies.

This policy is integrated with our broader privacy practices. For more information about how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information, please review our Privacy Policy at privacy-notice.php. By accessing and using the Site, you consent to the placement of cookies and similar technologies on your device as described in this Cookie Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or other device (collectively, "Device") when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit the site or browse from one page to another. In addition to traditional HTTP cookies, this policy also covers similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, clear GIFs, local shared objects (Flash cookies), and HTML5 local storage, which function in similar ways.

When you visit olivenite.net, our servers may send cookies to your Device. These cookies are uniquely assigned to your Device and can only be read by the Olivenite that placed them. We use cookies to authenticate your identity, remember your SaaS workspace preferences, track your session duration, and gather aggregate analytics. Without certain cookies, our SaaS platform would be unable to maintain your secure login session, and core application features would cease to function properly.

Under the US notice-and-choice model, there is no general requirement to obtain opt-in consent before placing non-essential cookies on a user's Device. However, we are required to provide clear notice of our practices and offer choices regarding the use of your personal information. For sensitive sectors, additional federal laws may apply; for example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) where applicable, or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6801-6809 (GLBA) for financial institutions, may impose stricter confidentiality and security requirements on tracking technologies deployed on protected portals. We design our cookie architecture to comply with these sectoral obligations.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use based on their function and duration. Regarding duration, cookies are either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and remain on your Device only while you are actively browsing the Site. They are deleted automatically when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your Device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies allow us to recognize you as a returning user and apply your saved preferences during future visits.

Regarding function, we classify cookies as "first-party" or "third-party." First-party cookies are set by Olivenite directly when you visit olivenite.net. These are primarily used to maintain your SaaS session and gather first-party analytics. Third-party cookies are set by Olivenites other than olivenite.net. These are commonly used for cross-context behavioral advertising and integrating third-party services, such as live chat widgets or video conferencing tools, into our SaaS platform.

To comply with state comprehensive privacy laws, including the Colorado Privacy Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-1300 et seq.), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-515 et seq.), and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (Utah Code § 13-11-101 et seq.), we provide clear disclosures about the categories of cookies we deploy. We limit our use of tracking technologies to what is strictly necessary for the operation of the SaaS platform, combined with optional analytics and marketing tools that users can control. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive data, such as precise geolocation or biometric identifiers, without explicit opt-in consent where required by law.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies, sometimes referred to as "strictly necessary" cookies, are required for the core functionality of olivenite.net. These cookies are necessary to provide the SaaS services you have requested. They enable essential features such as user authentication, maintaining your secure session, load balancing, preventing fraudulent activity, and displaying secure screens during the payment process. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the Site, you cannot turn them off in our systems.

Our SaaS infrastructure relies on essential cookies to route your requests efficiently and ensure that your data remains segregated from other tenants on our platform. When you log into your account, essential cookies verify your identity and authorize your access to specific organizational workspaces. Disabling these cookies would prevent you from logging in, accessing your dashboards, or utilizing the core features of our software. Therefore, under US law, we are permitted to place these cookies without offering an opt-out mechanism, as they are necessary to provide the service explicitly requested by the user.

Furthermore, essential cookies play a critical role in security. They help us detect and mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, enforce rate limits, and protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. We also use essential cookies to remember your consent preferences regarding non-essential cookies. By storing your choices in a persistent first-party cookie, we ensure that we honor your privacy settings across multiple browsing sessions without prompting you repeatedly.

4. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to the Site, understand how visitors navigate our SaaS interfaces, and identify performance bottlenecks. We use this aggregated, de-identified data to improve the user experience, optimize our application architecture, and fix bugs. For example, analytics cookies help us determine which features are most frequently used and which pages generate errors, allowing our engineering team to prioritize updates effectively.

We may use both first-party and third-party analytics cookies. When we use third-party analytics providers, we configure them to minimize the collection of personally identifiable information. Where possible, we implement IP anonymization so that the last octet of your IP address is truncated before the data is processed. Under state comprehensive privacy laws (TX, OR, MT, FL, TN, etc.), the use of analytics cookies may constitute "processing" of personal data. To mitigate regulatory risk, we ensure that our analytics practices qualify for exemptions, such as the consumer-to-business communication exemption, or we provide appropriate opt-out mechanisms.

If our analytics tools process data in a way that constitutes a "sale" or "share" under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.), we will honor opt-out requests submitted via the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We continuously audit our analytics configurations to ensure that they do not inadvertently track users across non-affiliated websites for the purpose of building behavioral profiles, unless strictly necessary for internal product improvement and permitted by applicable law.

5. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. If you interact with our marketing content, these cookies may track your visits to olivenite.net and partner websites. This allows us and our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

Under the US notice-and-choice framework, the use of marketing cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising often triggers specific opt-out requirements. The California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA — 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' / Global Privacy Control obligations (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.120, § 1798.135) require us to provide a clear and conspicuous "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link and to honor GPC signals. If you opt out, we will cease using marketing cookies to share your personal information with third parties for targeted advertising purposes.

We also participate in industry self-regulatory programs. We honor the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices and the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out mechanisms. If you wish to opt out of targeted advertising from participating networks, you can use the AdChoices icon found on advertisements or visit the DAA opt-out page. Please note that opting out of marketing cookies does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements; rather, you will see generic, untargeted ads that are less relevant to your inferred interests.

6. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may integrate third-party services that set their own cookies on your Device. These third parties include cloud infrastructure providers, customer support platforms, payment processors, and marketing tools. For example, we may use a third-party live chat service to provide real-time technical support, which will set cookies to maintain your chat session. We may also use third-party payment gateways that use cookies to detect fraud and secure transactions.

We exercise due diligence in selecting third-party service providers, ensuring they provide adequate privacy and security protections. However, Olivenite does not control the cookies set by third parties, and their use is subject to their respective privacy policies. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers to understand how they use tracking technologies. We enter into data processing agreements with our vendors to ensure they only process data for our legitimate business purposes and do not sell or share the data for their own independent purposes.

We are acutely aware of the legal risks associated with third-party tracking technologies, particularly regarding session-replay litigation. Under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2511 (limited application) and state wiretapping/cpw statutes (e.g., California Invasion of Privacy Act § 631, session-replay litigation), companies have faced class-action lawsuits for deploying third-party tools that record user keystrokes, mouse movements, and session content without explicit consent. To mitigate this risk, olivenite.net strictly prohibits the use of session-replay tools that capture personally identifiable information, financial details, or sensitive user inputs. Any third-party tools we deploy are configured to mask sensitive data fields.

7. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. As part of our compliance with the US notice-and-choice model, we provide you with multiple mechanisms to control how your data is collected and used. Upon your first visit to olivenite.net, we present a cookie preference banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. You can revisit and modify these preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Preferences" link located in the footer of our website.

If you are a resident of a state with comprehensive consumer privacy laws, you have specific rights regarding the processing of your personal data via cookies. Under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (Va. Code § 59.1-575 et seq.), the Colorado Privacy Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-1300 et seq.), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-515 et seq.), and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (Utah Code § 13-11-101 et seq.), you have the right to opt out of the processing of your personal data for targeted advertising. You can exercise this right using the opt-out tools provided on our Site or by submitting a request to us directly.

For users under the age of 13, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501-6506 (COPPA), and the COPPA Rule as amended effective June 2025 (16 C.F.R. Part 312, 2025 amendments). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through cookies without verifiable parental consent. If we implement persistent identifiers on a service directed to children, we do so only after obtaining verified parental consent, and we provide parents with the ability to review and delete their child's information. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13 in violation of COPPA, please contact us immediately.

8. Browser Settings

In addition to the controls provided by olivenite.net, you can manage your cookie preferences directly through your web browser. Most modern web browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. You can usually modify your browser settings to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or accept only cookies from the sites you are currently visiting. The "Help" feature in your browser's menu will provide specific instructions on how to adjust these settings.

If you choose to block all cookies (including essential cookies), please be aware that certain features of our SaaS platform may not function correctly. You may be unable to log into your account, save your workspace preferences, or access secure areas of the Site. Blocking essential cookies effectively disables the core utility of the software, as the application relies on session tokens to authenticate your requests and maintain state.

You can also enable "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals in your browser. While there is currently no federal legal standard dictating how websites must respond to DNT signals, we monitor your browser settings where applicable. Furthermore, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA — 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' / Global Privacy Control obligations (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.120, § 1798.135), we process Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser transmits a GPC signal, we will automatically treat it as an opt-out request for the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

9. Updates to Policy

As Olivenite continues to develop its SaaS offerings and as privacy laws evolve, we may need to update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more conspicuous notice of the changes, such as by displaying a prominent banner on the Site or sending you an email notification.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you have previously set your cookie preferences, we will continue to honor those preferences unless the changes materially expand our use of cookies in a way that requires new consent under applicable US laws.

This Cookie Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the state in which Olivenite is incorporated, without regard to its conflict of law principles. For more information on the legal terms governing your use of our SaaS platform, please review our Terms and Conditions at site-terms.php and our Terms of Service at terms_of_service.php.
