Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

This Cookie Policy explains how Open Angle Post uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our Service. For more information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

2.1 Authentication Cookies

We use authentication cookies to maintain your login session when you use our Service. These cookies are essential for the Service to function properly.

These cookies contain an encrypted token that identifies your user session. They do not contain your password or other sensitive information in plain text.

3. Third-Party Cookies

3.1 OAuth Provider Cookies

When you sign in using Google or Apple OAuth, these third-party services may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the respective privacy policies of these providers:

• •Google: Google Privacy Policy
• •Apple: Apple Privacy Policy

We recommend reviewing these policies to understand how these third-party services use cookies.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

Essential cookies are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. These include our authentication cookies that maintain your login session.

These cookies are set in response to actions made by you, such as logging in. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Service may not function properly if you do so.

Essential cookies do not require consent under GDPR and similar regulations, as they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service you have requested.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Currently, we do not use functional cookies. Functional cookies would enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences (e.g., language or region) or maintaining settings between sessions.

If we begin using functional cookies in the future, we will update this policy and provide you with the option to manage your preferences.

4.3 Analytics Cookies

Currently, we do not use analytics cookies. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Service by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

If we implement analytics cookies in the future, we will provide clear information about their purpose and obtain your consent where required by law.

4.4 Marketing/Advertising Cookies

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. These cookies would be used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements.

If we begin using marketing cookies in the future, we will update this policy, obtain your consent where required, and provide options to manage these cookies.

5. Managing Cookies

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete certain cookies. However, if you choose to disable cookies, some features of our Service may not function properly.

Here are links to instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers:

• •Google Chrome
• •Mozilla Firefox
• •Safari
• •Microsoft Edge

5.2 Logging Out

You can remove our authentication cookies by logging out of your account. When you log out, we will delete the authentication cookie from your device.

6. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies. Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

• •Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. Our authentication cookies are persistent but expire after 7 days.
• •Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Our authentication cookies are persistent with a 7-day expiration.

You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that deleting cookies may require you to log in again to access certain features.

7. GDPR and Cookie Consent

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

Currently, we only use essential cookies (authentication cookies) that are necessary for the Service to function. These cookies do not require consent under GDPR as they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service you have requested.

If we begin using non-essential cookies in the future (such as analytics or marketing cookies), we will:

• •Implement a cookie consent mechanism (cookie banner or preference center)
• •Obtain your explicit consent before setting non-essential cookies
• •Allow you to withdraw consent at any time
• •Update this policy with details about the new cookies

Under GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

8. ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law)

The ePrivacy Directive (also known as the EU Cookie Law) requires consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary for the service. This complements the GDPR requirements.

As we currently only use strictly necessary cookies, we do not need to obtain consent under the ePrivacy Directive. If we begin using non-essential cookies, we will comply with both GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.

9. 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 new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Cookie Policy periodically for any changes.
