Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how oldhamite ("oldhamite," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, local storage objects, software development kits, and similar tracking technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on the website located at oldhamite.com and any related suboldhamites, applications, and services operated by oldhamite (collectively, the "Service"). This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, our Terms and Conditions, and our Terms of Service, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Service.

We are committed to transparency regarding the data we collect through automated means. Because the United States does not currently maintain a single, general federal statute mandating prior consent for all cookie-based tracking, our practices are governed by a patchwork of federal and state law, including the Wiretap Act / Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2511 and related case law (see Van v. Zoo; In re Google Analytics), the California Online Privacy Protection Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575, the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, now codified at Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq., and comparable comprehensive state privacy statutes. We have designed our consent and opt-out framework to satisfy the most protective of these regimes.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files containing an identifier and other data that a web server transmits to your browser and that your browser stores on your device. When you return to the Service, your browser transmits the Cookie back to our servers or to the servers of the applicable third party, allowing the Service to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our content. Cookies are widely used to make websites function efficiently and to provide analytics and advertising functionality. In addition to traditional Cookies, we may use other automated technologies such as pixel tags (also known as clear GIFs or web beacons), which are tiny graphic images embedded in pages or emails that record when a page or message was viewed, and HTML5 local storage, which stores information locally within your browser and persists until deleted.

Cookies are commonly categorized by duration and by origin. "Session Cookies" are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. "Persistent Cookies" remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually. "First-party Cookies" are set by oldhamite and are readable only by us. "Third-party Cookies" are set by a oldhamite other than oldhamite.com — for example, an analytics provider or advertising network — and are governed by that third party's own policies. Each category carries different privacy implications, and we describe each in the sections that follow.

Under applicable United States law, certain Cookies may constitute an "interception" or "use" of electronic communications within the meaning of the Wiretap Act / Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2511. Federal and state courts, including in In re Google Analytics and Van v. Zoo, have examined whether the deployment of third-party tracking technologies without adequate notice and consent may give rise to statutory damages under federal and state wiretapping statutes, including California's Invasion of Privacy Act. In light of this evolving case law, we provide the disclosures in this Cookie Policy and offer the consent and opt-out mechanisms described below. Nothing in this Cookie Policy constitutes an admission that any particular Cookie constitutes an unlawful interception, and we expressly reserve all rights and defenses available to us.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use Cookies grouped into the following categories: (a) Essential Cookies; (b) Analytics Cookies; and (c) Marketing Cookies. Within each category, Cookies may be first-party or third-party, session-based or persistent. Essential Cookies are necessary for the Service to operate and, consistent with prevailing U.S. regulatory guidance, are deployed on the basis of our legitimate operational necessity and are not subject to optional consent. Analytics and Marketing Cookies are non-essential and are deployed only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after you have provided consent or have been given a clear opportunity to opt out.

The specific Cookies we deploy may change over time as we improve the Service, adopt new technologies, or respond to legal developments. Where required by applicable law — including the California Online Privacy Protection Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575, which requires operators of commercial websites to disclose how they respond to "do not track" signals and whether third parties may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities — we maintain current disclosures. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically, together with any cookie preferences banner or preference center made available on the Service.

Where you have registered for an account, the Cookies associated with your account may be linked to information we hold about you, such as your name, email address, and subscription tier. In such cases, the Cookies become part of your personal information, and our handling of that information is governed by our Privacy Policy and by the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, now codified at Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq., as well as other applicable state laws in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, and approximately fifteen other states with comprehensive privacy legislation.

2.1 Consent Framework

Because the United States has no general federal cookie-consent statute, our approach combines (i) prominent notice, (ii) granular opt-out controls for non-essential tracking, and (iii) recognition of universal opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control ("GPC"). Where you are located in a jurisdiction that requires opt-in consent for non-essential Cookies or for the processing of sensitive data, we will obtain that consent before deploying the relevant technology. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and we do not use dark patterns, forced consent walls, or interface designs that obscure the opt-out path.

2.2 Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly deploy tracking technologies to collect personal information from children. Our practices are designed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq., and the Amended COPPA Rule, 16 C.F.R. Part 312 (2025 amendments in effect). If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under thirteen through Cookies, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided information to us should contact us using the details in Section 10.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential Cookies (also referred to as "strictly necessary" Cookies) are required for the core functionality, security, and integrity of the Service. Without these Cookies, the Service cannot deliver fundamental features such as user authentication, session management, load balancing, account security, fraud prevention, and the preservation of your privacy preferences. Because these Cookies are indispensable to the operation of the Service and do not enable us to profile you for advertising purposes, they are typically exempt from consent requirements under applicable U.S. law and comparable state frameworks.

Examples of Essential Cookies we may use include authentication tokens that keep you logged in during a session, security tokens used to detect and prevent cross-site request forgery, load-balancing identifiers, cookies that record whether you have accepted or rejected non-essential Cookies, and cookies that remember your language and region settings. Essential Cookies may also be used to enforce rate limits, detect malicious traffic, and maintain the availability of the Service during periods of high demand. Some Essential Cookies are set by third-party infrastructure providers acting on our behalf, and those providers are contractually restricted from using the information for their own independent purposes.

You may configure your browser to block or delete Essential Cookies, but doing so will impair or prevent your use of substantial portions of the Service. oldhamite does not warrant that the Service will function correctly where Essential Cookies have been disabled, and we disclaim responsibility for any resulting loss of functionality, data, or access.

4. Analytics Cookies

Analytics Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service by collecting information such as pages viewed, time spent on pages, referral sources, click paths, approximate geographic location derived from IP address, browser and device type, and error events. We use this information in aggregated and, where feasible, de-identified form to measure performance, diagnose technical issues, prioritize product development, and improve the overall user experience of our software-as-a-service offerings. Analytics data is not used to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

We may use third-party analytics providers, which set their own Cookies and process data in accordance with their own terms and privacy notices. Where we deploy such providers, we take reasonable steps to configure their tools in a manner consistent with applicable law, which may include IP anonymization, data retention limits, and restrictions on cross-context behavioral advertising. However, certain courts have held that the deployment of third-party analytics technology on a website may implicate the Wiretap Act / Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2511 and state invasion-of-privacy statutes. See In re Google Analytics; Van v. Zoo. Accordingly, we treat analytics Cookies as non-essential, disclose them clearly, and provide the opt-out mechanisms described in Sections 7 and 8.

Analytics information may be combined with information collected through other means to produce internal reports and business metrics. Where such combination results in personal information, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We retain analytics data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this section, after which it is aggregated, de-identified, or deleted.

5. Marketing Cookies

Marketing Cookies (sometimes called advertising or targeting Cookies) are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you, to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, and to enable remarketing or retargeting across websites and applications. These Cookies may record your visits to the Service and other sites over time and may be shared with advertising networks, demand-side platforms, social media platforms, and measurement partners. Marketing Cookies may also be used for affiliate attribution, conversion tracking, and audience segmentation.

Under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, now codified at Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq., certain uses of Cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, which triggers your right to opt out and requires us to honor opt-out preference signals. Similar opt-out rights exist under the comprehensive privacy laws of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, and other states, with Colorado's recognition of universal opt-out mechanisms mandatory since 2024. We do not use Marketing Cookies to process sensitive personal information, and we do not knowingly permit third parties to use Cookies on the Service to infer sensitive characteristics, without first obtaining your consent where required by law.

You may opt out of Marketing Cookies at any time using our cookie preference center, the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link made available on the Service, or the browser and extension controls described below. Please note that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements; rather, it means that the advertisements you see will be less tailored to your interests. We do not control the continued use of information previously collected by third parties prior to your opt-out, and we cannot compel a third party to honor your request where you interact with that third party outside of the Service.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Certain Cookies are placed on your device by third parties that provide services to us or that operate independently. Categories of third parties that may set Cookies through the Service include analytics providers, customer support and chat platforms, payment processors, marketing automation and email service providers, social media networks that offer embedded content or share buttons, content delivery networks, and security and fraud-prevention vendors. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, including when you use the Service and other sites.

We do not control the operation of third-party Cookies, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites, plugins, or technologies. The data practices of these third parties are governed by their own cookies and privacy policies, which we strongly encourage you to review. Where we act as a service provider or contractor with respect to a third party, we impose contractual restrictions consistent with applicable law, including, where relevant, the requirements of the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act, 15 U.S.C. § 8401 et seq., and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (state adoptions), which together inform our approach to authorization, transparency, and record-keeping for electronic transactions involving recurring charges or bundled offers.

6.1 Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, oldhamite, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIRD-PARTY COOKIES, THIRD-PARTY TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, OR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THIRD PARTIES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS COOKIE POLICY SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THIS COOKIE POLICY LIMITS ANY NON-WAIVABLE RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE LAW.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Consistent with FTC Act § 5, 15 U.S.C. § 45, we do not engage in deceptive or unfair acts or practices, and we make no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of any third-party content or technology. Your sole and exclusive remedy for any dissatisfaction with a third-party Cookie is to disable it using the controls described in Sections 7 and 8 or to discontinue use of the Service.

7. How to Control Cookies

You have several mechanisms available to control or limit the use of Cookies. Where required by applicable law, we present a consent or preference banner on your first visit that permits you to accept or reject non-essential Cookies on a category-by-category basis, and we provide a persistent link to a cookie preference center that allows you to change your choices at any time. We also honor opt-out preference signals sent from your browser or device, including the Global Privacy Control, which we treat as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, now codified at Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq., and as an opt-out of targeted advertising under applicable state laws.

If you are a California resident, you may exercise your rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, as well as your right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information, by contacting us at [email protected] or by using the mechanisms described in our Privacy Policy. Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may similarly request access, correction, deletion, and opt-out of targeted advertising, profiling, or sale. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right, although we may offer bona fide loyalty programs or financial incentives where permitted and clearly disclosed.

Additional controls include browser-based blocking tools, third-party privacy extensions, and industry opt-out platforms operated by advertising trade associations. Please note that these mechanisms operate at the level of individual browsers or devices; if you use multiple browsers or devices, you must set your preferences on each one. If you clear your browser's Cookie storage, our records of your preferences may be deleted, and you may need to re-state your choices. We will retain records of your opt-out requests to the extent required for compliance purposes, and we will not re-enable non-essential Cookies in violation of a valid opt-out request.

8. Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to manage Cookies through their settings menus. You can typically view the Cookies currently stored on your device, block all or certain Cookies, delete existing Cookies, and configure the browser to notify you when a Cookie is set. Instructions are generally available under the "Help," "Preferences," "Settings," or "Privacy" sections of your browser. The following are reference points for widely used browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies, and Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Cookies and site data.
• Apple Safari: Settings (or Preferences) → Privacy → Manage Website Data and "Prevent cross-site tracking."
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data, including Enhanced Tracking Protection settings.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data, including "Block third-party cookies."
• Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Android Chrome): available under the browser's Settings or Privacy menus, subject to operating-system controls such as Apple's App Tracking Transparency.

Blocking all Cookies may significantly impair the functionality of the Service, including preventing you from logging in, maintaining a session, or completing transactions. Deleting Cookies does not necessarily delete information that third parties have already collected; you must use the third party's own opt-out tools for that purpose. Please also note that some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal. Because there is no uniform industry or regulatory standard for DNT, we do not currently respond to DNT signals; however, we do honor the Global Privacy Control and other recognized universal opt-out mechanisms as described in Section 7. Our treatment of DNT signals is disclosed in accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575.

8.1 Effect of Controls on Legal Notices

Disabling Cookies does not affect the validity or enforceability of electronic notices, disclosures, or agreements provided through the Service. Electronic records and signatures associated with the Service are governed by the 15 U.S.C. § 7001 (E-SIGN Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (state adoptions), and your agreement to receive disclosures electronically is independent of your Cookie preferences.

9. Updates to Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or the categories of Cookies we deploy. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes — including the introduction of new categories of tracking technologies, new categories of third-party recipients, or changes to your rights or our liability limitations — will be communicated through a prominent notice on the Service, by email to registered users where appropriate, or by other reasonable means, before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any updated Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Where applicable law requires affirmative consent to a change, we will obtain that consent before implementing the change. If you do not agree with an update, you should adjust your Cookie preferences using the controls described in Sections 7 and 8 or discontinue use of the Service.

We maintain prior versions of this Cookie Policy for your reference and can provide them upon request. The English-language version of this Cookie Policy is the controlling version. In the event of any conflict between this Cookie Policy and a translated version, the English version prevails to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any failure by us to enforce a provision of this Cookie Policy shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.
