What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables OPUS features and functionality. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to OPUS and our sites generally, and even help us know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device. Cookies also enable you to easily share content on OPUS.

When does OPUS place cookies?

We use cookies on OPUS and its mobile applications. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us.

What types of cookies does OPUS use?

We use two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to OPUS or interact with our services without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by OPUS when you return to the site. Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

What is Do Not Track (DNT)?

DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, Internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date. As such, OPUS does not generally respond to “do not track” signals.

What third-party cookies does OPUS use?

OPUS may use third-party cookies on its website for the purposes on improving website performance and user experience. OPUS does not use third-party cookies on its software applications.

Controlling cookies

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
