1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how On The Record ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our platform, including any associated mobile applications and websites (collectively, the "Service").
This policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, On The Record) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following types of cookies:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account authentication. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the Service functions.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Service.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable the Service to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our Service.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. For more information about how to delete and manage cookies, visit aboutcookies.org.
5.2 Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are currently not set up to respond to such signals.
