How OceanCloud uses cookies and tracking technologies on our website.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide website owners with information about how visitors interact with their site.
Cookies do not contain personal information such as your name or payment details. They are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware.
OceanCloud's website (oceancloudconsults.com) is a mostly static website. We do not intentionally load analytics or advertising cookies before the required consent choices are handled. The site operates without server-side login sessions.
Google Analytics 4 and Google advertising services, if enabled, may use cookies or similar technologies after consent where consent is required by law. Some essential local storage is used to remember your cookie preference.
We do not sell your personal data. If advertising is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may process data as described in this policy and Google's own privacy notices.
This website may use local storage to remember your cookie preference. Third-party scripts may set cookies only where enabled and permitted by your consent choices and applicable law.
When Google Analytics 4 is enabled and you have given consent, the following cookies may be set:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|

We store your cookie preference (oc_cookie_consent) in your browser's local storage — not as a cookie. This is a simple "accepted" or "declined" value used only to remember your choice so we do not prompt you on every visit. It contains no personal data and is never sent to our servers.
We use a small number of trusted third-party services. Some connect to external servers when you use the site:
These third parties operate under their own privacy policies. OceanCloud is not responsible for their data practices.
If Google AdSense is enabled on this website, Google may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, IP addresses, browser information, and similar technologies to serve ads, limit ad frequency, measure ad performance, detect invalid activity, and provide reporting to publishers and advertisers.
Depending on your location and consent choices, ads may be personalised or non-personalised. Personalised ads use information such as previous visits to this and other websites. Non-personalised ads rely mainly on contextual signals such as page content, approximate location, browser type, and time of day.
You can manage ad personalisation at Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more at Google Advertising Technologies.
When analytics or advertising services require consent, a consent banner will appear on your first visit. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved in browser local storage and respected on subsequent visits where technically possible. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing local storage for this site in your browser's developer tools.
