4. First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Otiox (otiox.com domain). These cookies are used for essential functionality, user preferences, and to improve your experience on our platform.
Third-party cookies are set by external services that we integrate with, such as Google Analytics. These cookies are subject to the respective privacy policies of these third parties.
We carefully select and review all third-party services that set cookies through our Website. The third-party providers we currently work with include:
- Google Analytics (analytics.google.com) — Web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Used to analyze website traffic and user behavior patterns. Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
We do not have control over third-party cookies and recommend that you review the privacy policies of these third parties for more information about their cookie practices.
7. Consent and Withdrawal
Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to:
- Accept all cookies — This enables all categories of cookies, including analytics and functional cookies.
- Reject non-essential cookies — This allows only strictly necessary cookies and disables all optional cookies.
- Customize your preferences — This allows you to selectively enable or disable specific cookie categories.
Your right to withdraw consent
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by:
1. Clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our Website, at which point the consent banner will appear again.
2. Using the browser settings described in Section 6 to delete or block specific cookies.
3. Contacting us at legal@otiox.com to request that we update your cookie preferences.
Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable or reject cookies, please be aware of the following potential impacts:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cannot be disabled as they are essential for the Website and Service to function. Blocking these cookies may make parts of the Website inaccessible.
Performance & Analytics Cookies: Disabling these cookies means we cannot collect data about how our Website is used, which limits our ability to identify and fix issues, and to improve the user experience.
Functional Cookies: Disabling these cookies may result in reduced functionality, such as the Website not remembering your language preferences, theme settings, or other personalization choices. You may need to re-enter information on each visit.
We recommend keeping at least the strictly necessary and functional cookies enabled for the best user experience. However, we fully respect your right to control your cookie preferences.
9. International Data Transfers
Some of the third-party cookies used on our Website may involve the transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by GDPR Chapter V:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) — We rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses for transfers of personal data to countries not recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection.
- Adequacy Decisions — Where the European Commission has determined that a third country provides an adequate level of data protection, transfers may occur on this basis.
- EU-US Data Privacy Framework — For transfers to the United States, we work with providers who participate in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable.
For Google Analytics specifically, Google LLC has committed to compliance under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and employs Standard Contractual Clauses as a transfer mechanism.
You can request more information about the safeguards we use for international data transfers by contacting us at legal@otiox.com.
