This Cookie Policy constitutes an integral part of the Terms of Use Agreement (TOS) between Orca Technologies AS and the Customer. The terms defined in the TOS shall have the same meaning herein unless the context says otherwise. The TOS can be found here.

2. Cookies and user solutions
To enhance the user experience and optimize the Service and the Website, Orca uses cookies, advertising metrics, and other information gathering methods.
A cookie is a small text file, usually containing anonymous information saved on Your computer to store session information, enabling the analysis of Your use of the Service and/or the Website. Cookies allow Orca's servers to recognize Your device, and as such make the job of loading pages, identifying unique users, and browsing a specific application or website faster. A session ID cookie expires when You close Your browser. A persistent cookie remains on Your hard drive for an extended period of time. We set a persistent cookie to store Your preferences. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions provided in Your Internet browser. We use cookies from Orca, Google Analytics, Google Firebase, Sentry, Hotjar, YouTube, Instagram, Stripe, and Facebook Pixel on www.getorca.com.
We also employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that helps us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to personally identifiable information.
In order to use the Service, You will have to accept that Orca and the Service require You to use cookies in order to perform properly. You can at any time, decline such usage by making the necessary adjustments in Your web reader to instruct Your browser to stop accepting cookies. However, some aspects of the Service or the Website may not function properly and You may not have an optimal user experience if You do so.
2.1 Usage of web analysis tools
To be able to improve the user experience of the Service and the Website, Orca uses third-party analytic tools to learn more about which features are being used and how.
This allows ORCA to collect information about Your usage, including which features are being used, how You move through the Service, other third-party services, and Your geographical location when it is relevant. The collected behavior data will only be accessed by ORCA employees. No personal information will be sent to third parties. Refer to the Privacy Policy for more information.
