Cookies can help OPEX Corporation in many ways. For example, cookies can allow OPEX Corporation and its service providers to tailor your Website visit to better match your interests, as indicated by your activities when browsing the Website or other sites. Furthermore, cookies, for example, can be used to store your password, thereby saving you from having to re-enter the password each time that you visit the Website. By using or continuing to use the Website, you are agreeing to OPEX Corporation and its service providers placing cookies on your device for the purposes set forth in the Privacy Policy. If you do not wish to accept cookies in connection with your use of the Website, you must stop using the Website.

Disabling Cookies: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The ‘Help’ portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your device from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to the Website who disable cookies may still be able to browse certain areas of the Website, but some features may not function properly.

Cross-Device Use: OPEX Corporation and service providers may use the information that we collect about you (whether directly from you from our Website, through your device(s), or from a third party) to help OPEX Corporation and its service providers identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). OPEX Corporation and its service providers also may use the cross-device tracking and other information we learn about you to serve targeted advertising on your devices and to send you emails. To opt-out of cross-device advertising, you may follow the instructions set forth in the “Third-Party Targeted Advertising Cookies and Other Third-Party Tracking Technologies” section below.

If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to opt-out each browser or device that you use.

Third-Party Targeted Advertising Cookies and Other Third-Party Tracking Technologies: OPEX Corporation may use Google AdWords Remarketing and other third parties, including LinkedIn and Oracle Eloqua, to allow us to continue to show you OPEX advertisements when you visit other portions of the Internet. Google AdWords Remarketing, LinkedIn, and Oracle Eloqua use cookies or other tracking technologies that are stored on your device to serve such ads based on your prior visits to the Website. You may opt-out Google AdWords Remarketing by visiting http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/.

Opting out of Google AdWords Remarketing, LinkedIn, or Oracle Eloqua will opt you out of those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean that you will no longer receive any advertising on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the website you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads) or from other advertising networks. Also, if you later erase your cookies or other tracking technologies, use a different device or change Web browsers, your preference may no longer be active. 

ANALYTICAL TOOLS

OPEX Corporation may use with the Website various analytical tools including, without limitation, those listed below. (To the extent such analytical tools make use of cookies, the information below should be read in conjunction with COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES above.)

• Google Analytics: To help OPEX Corporation design and optimize the Website, the Website may use Google Analytics, an analytical service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043 USA (“Google”). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website is transferred to Google. This information is used to evaluate your use of the Website, to compile reports on Website activities, and to provide further services associated with the use of the Website and the Internet, for the purpose of market research and the demand-oriented design of the Website. IP addresses are anonymized so that assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the Website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google, for example, by downloading and installing a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
• Google AdWords Conversion Tracking: The Website may use Google’s Adwords conversion tracking (“Google Adwords”) to generate statistics related to the use of the Website and for the purpose of optimizing our Website. Google Adwords is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043 USA (“Google”). Google Adwords places a cookie on your device if you have accessed the Website via a Google ad. If you then visit certain pages of the Website and the cookie has not yet expired, OPEX Corporation and Google can recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to those pages. Each Adwords customer such as OPEX Corporation receives a different cookie. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. Google’s Privacy Policy on conversion tracking can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can refuse to accept the cookie required for this by, for example, using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic acceptance of cookies.
• Google reCAPTCHA: The Website may use Google reCAPTCHA provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043 USA (“Google”). Google reCAPTCHA checks whether the entry of data (e.g., into a contact form on the Website) is done by a human or an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the Website visitor on the basis of different characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the Website visitor accesses the Website. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates different information (e.g., IP address, the amount of time the Website visitor stays on the Website, etc.). The data collected during the analysis is transmitted to Google. reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background, and visitors to the Website are not informed that an analysis is taking place. Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s Privacy Policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
• Hotjar: The Website may use the Hotjar analytical services provided by Hotjar Ltd., 3 Lyons Range, 20 Bisazza Street, Sliema SLM 1640, Malta (“Hotjar”) to help OPEX Corporation to better understand visitors’ experiences of the Website (e.g., how much time a visitor spends on a page, which links the visitor chooses to click, what the visitor does and does not like, etc.). This, in turn, helps OPEX Corporation to design and optimize the Website. The Hotjar analytical services use cookies and other technologies to collect data on visitors’ behavior and their devices, in particular, the IP address of the device (captured and stored only in anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and preferred language used to display the Website. Hotjar stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile. Neither Hotjar nor OPEX Corporation will use this information to identify individual users. For further details, please see Hotjar’s Privacy Policy at https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacyYou can opt-out of the creation of a Hotjar user profile, Hotjar’s storing of data about your usage of our site, and Hotjar’s use of tracking cookies on other websites by visiting https://www.hotjar.com/legal/compliance/opt-out.

LinkedIn technology allows visitors to the Website to play personalized ads on LinkedIn. It also provides OPEX Corporation the ability to create anonymous reports on ad performance and website interaction information. To do this, the LinkedIn Insight tag is included on the Website, which connects the visitor to the LinkedIn server when the visitor visits the Website and is logged into LinkedIn at the same time. For further details, see LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Usage data (including the IP address) are transmitted directly from your web browser to a server of the respective Plug-in Provider and may be stored there.
