OMeT Institutional Cookie Policy
Governance Statement
This Cookie Policy explains how OMeT (“OMeT,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site”).
By using the Site, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used as described in this Cookie Policy, subject to any rights or choices available to you under applicable law.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, improve performance, remember preferences, and provide information about how the website is used.
We may also use related technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and analytics tools for similar purposes. For simplicity, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies” in this Policy unless otherwise stated.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a limited set of operational and informational purposes, including to:
- enable the Site to function properly;
- maintain security and integrity;
- understand how visitors use the Site;
- improve Site performance, usability, and content;
- remember user preferences where applicable; and
- support communications, analytics, and website administration.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
The categories below describe the types of cookies we may use on the Site.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to operate properly. They support core functions such as page navigation, security, network management, and system administration.
Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the Site, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie controls.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how the Site is used, such as which pages are visited, how users move through the Site, and whether technical errors occur. This information helps us improve the structure, performance, and content of the Site.
These cookies may collect aggregated data and, depending on the tool used, may collect identifiers such as IP address, browser type, device information, and session activity.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember certain choices or settings, such as language, region, or other interface preferences, in order to provide a more consistent experience.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set directly by OMeT. These are known as first-party cookies.
Other cookies may be set by service providers or technology partners that support website hosting, analytics, embedded content, form handling, security, or communications. These are known as third-party cookies. Third-party providers may process information collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy notices and terms.
5. Specific Tools and Providers
Depending on how the Site is configured, OMeT may use services such as:
- website hosting and content delivery providers;

- tag management tools.
- Google Analytics

6. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies may remain on your device for different periods of time:
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
The retention period depends on the specific cookie and its purpose.
7. Your Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to accept or reject certain cookies.
You may be able to manage cookie preferences through:
- the cookie banner or preference center on the Site;
- your browser settings, which may allow you to block or delete cookies; and
- third-party opt-out tools, where applicable.
Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality or availability of parts of the Site.
8. Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. You can typically configure your browser to:
- view stored cookies;
- delete cookies;
- block cookies entirely; or
- block cookies from specific websites.
Because browser settings differ, you should consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
9. Legal Basis and Consent
Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
Where cookies are strictly necessary for the operation, security, or administration of the Site, they may be used without consent to the extent permitted by law.
10. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not yet a uniform industry standard for responding to such signals, the Site may not respond to them unless required by applicable law.
If OMeT implements legally recognized opt-out preference signals in relevant jurisdictions, this section should be updated accordingly.
11. Personal Information
Information collected through cookies may, in some cases, constitute personal information under applicable law. For more information on how OMeT collects, uses, and discloses personal information, please see our [Privacy Policy].
12. International Visitors
If you access the Site from outside the jurisdiction in which the Site is operated, information collected through cookies may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions, subject to applicable legal safeguards where required.
13. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our data practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
