This Cookie Policy explains how OwlOps Consulting LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on owlopsconsulting.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more broadly.
01What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or phone when you visit. It lets the site remember things between pages or between visits, such as whether you've already dismissed a banner. Cookies set by the site you're visiting are "first-party"; cookies set by another service embedded in that site, like an analytics provider, are "third-party."
"Similar technologies" means things that do a comparable job without being a cookie in the strict sense: browser local storage, pixels, and scripts that read your device settings. For simplicity, this policy calls all of them cookies.
02Why we use them
We keep our use narrow. Cookies on this Site exist to:
- Make the Site function, including remembering your cookie choices and protecting forms from spam bots.
- Understand how the Site is used in aggregate, so we can see which articles are read and where visitors drop off.
- Support embedded tools such as call scheduling, which need their own cookies to work.
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or tracking you across other websites, and we do not sell data collected through cookies.
03Types of cookies we use
Essential
Required for the Site to work. These can't be switched off because the Site would break without them.
Analytics
Tell us how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. Set only after you consent where the law requires.
Functional
Set by embedded tools like our scheduling widget when you interact with them.
04The cookies, listed
Cookie names and lifetimes are set by the providers and can change. We review this list periodically; the consent banner always reflects the current set.

05Managing your preferences
When you first visit the Site, a banner asks which optional cookies you're comfortable with. You can change that answer at any time:
You can also control cookies directly in your browser, including blocking them entirely or deleting those already set. Instructions for the most common browsers:
Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Site, such as the contact form, from working correctly.
06Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT, and like most sites we do not change behavior based on it.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a newer browser signal that some privacy laws recognize as a valid opt-out. Where GPC is legally recognized, we treat it as a request to disable non-essential cookies. Because we don't sell or share personal information, a GPC signal won't change much in practice, but we honor it.
07Changes to this policy
We'll update this page when the cookies we use change, such as adding or removing a tool. The effective date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes that require new consent will re-trigger the banner on your next visit.
