Our cookie policy and how we use them

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Optimal Workforce Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our workforce optimization platform (the "Service"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies on our Service:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and security features. Without these cookies, the Service cannot operate. These cookies cannot be disabled.

Examples: Authentication tokens, CSRF protection, session identifiers

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your settings and preferences to provide a more personalized experience. They may store your language preference, theme selection (light/dark mode), and other display settings.

Examples: Language preference, theme settings, UI preferences

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Service by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the functionality and user experience of the Service.

Examples: Page views, feature usage, error tracking

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Service are placed by third-party services that we use. These third parties may use cookies for their own purposes, such as analytics and performance monitoring.

Analytics Services

We use Vercel Analytics to understand how users interact with our Service. These analytics help us identify areas for improvement and measure the performance of our platform. Vercel Analytics is privacy-focused and does not use cookies for cross-site tracking.

Authentication Services

When you sign in using third-party authentication providers (such as Google), those services may set their own cookies. We do not control cookies set by third-party authentication providers.

4. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our Service, you will see a cookie consent banner asking for your permission to use non-essential cookies. By clicking "Accept," you consent to our use of all cookies as described in this policy. If you click "Reject," we will only use essential cookies necessary for the Service to function.

Note: Your cookie preference is stored in your browser's local storage. If you clear your browser data or use a different browser/device, you will be asked for your consent again.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

  • Cookie Banner: Use the cookie consent banner when you first visit the site, or clear your browser's local storage to see it again.
  • Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Privacy" menu of your browser.
  • Device Settings: Your mobile device may provide settings to limit ad tracking or control cookie behavior.

Warning: Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features of the Service or may affect its functionality.

6. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as:

  • Local Storage: Used to store your cookie consent preference and certain application settings on your device.
  • Session Storage: Used to temporarily store data during your browsing session that is cleared when you close your browser.

These technologies work similarly to cookies but may store more data and are not sent to the server with every request.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by:

  • Posting the updated policy on this page
  • Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top
  • Requesting your consent again if we introduce new types of cookies

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
