Cookie Policy.

Last updated: 1 January 2026

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function, to retain your preferences, and to provide information to website owners on how their site is being used.

This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies used on omtrek.info, their purpose, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policy.

2. Categories of Cookies Used

Essential Cookies

Always Active

Essential cookies are required for the basic functioning of the website. Without them, the site cannot operate correctly. These include cookies that store your cookie consent preference, maintain session continuity, and enable core navigation.

These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled. They are never used for advertising or tracking purposes beyond the scope of basic site functionality.

Analytics Cookies

Optional

Analytics cookies allow us to understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting information in an anonymised, aggregated form. This includes data on the pages visited, the time spent on each page, and the general geographic region of visitors.

This information is used to improve the quality and relevance of editorial content. No individual visitor is identified through these cookies. You may decline analytics cookies through the cookie consent banner or through your browser settings.

Preference Cookies

Optional

Preference cookies retain settings you have selected during your visit — such as language preferences or display choices — so that you do not need to reset them on subsequent visits. These cookies improve your experience but are not required for the site to function.

You may decline preference cookies and the site will continue to function normally, though any preferences you have set may not be retained between visits.

Third-Party Cookies

Optional

Certain features on this website make use of third-party services, including embedded maps and content delivery networks. These services may set their own cookies, over which this publication has no direct control.

Where third-party embedded content is present, it is noted on the relevant page. Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing the policies of any third-party service whose embedded content you interact with.

3. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies vary in how long they remain on your device:

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser. They are not stored on your device beyond the active session.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between thirty days and twelve months, depending on their function. The cookie consent preference cookie persists for twelve months.
  • Third-party cookies are subject to the retention policies of the issuing third-party service.

4. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit the website, a consent banner is presented that allows you to accept all cookies, accept a selected subset, or accept only essential cookies. Your preference is stored and applied on subsequent visits.

You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page on this website.

You may also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. The following links provide instructions for common browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on this site. Essential site operations will continue to function regardless of cookie preferences.

5. Opting Out of Analytics

If you decline analytics cookies through the consent banner, no analytics data will be collected during your visit. Analytics data is collected only with your explicit consent. Withdrawing consent has no effect on your ability to read or interact with editorial content.

Browser-level opt-outs — such as the Do Not Track header — are respected where technically feasible. However, browser settings vary, and the consent banner remains the most reliable method for controlling analytics preferences on this site.

6. Updates to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be revised as cookie usage on the website changes. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. If the changes are substantial, a notice will be published on the website homepage.

Questions about this policy may be directed to [email protected].
