What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember preferences, and to provide website operators with information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "session cookies" which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies" which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services running on that page ("third-party cookies").
Our Approach
OpenLenz is a privacy-first product. The same principles that guided the design of the app guide the design of this website: we collect as little data as possible and we do not use cookies to track you, profile you, or sell your information to advertisers.
The short version: The OpenLenz website uses only essential cookies required for basic functionality. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioural tracking cookies, or social media tracking pixels.
We do not run ads. We do not share your data with advertising networks. We do not build profiles of visitors to our website.
Types We Use
We use only one category of cookie on the OpenLenz website:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are cookies required for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies and they cannot be switched off in our systems.
We do not use any of the following cookie types:
- Performance or analytics cookies that track how visitors use our website
- Functional cookies that remember your preferences across sessions
- Targeting or advertising cookies used to build profiles for ad delivery
- Social media cookies placed by platforms such as Meta, TikTok, or X
