Cookie Policy

Optimus AI (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our websites to enhance user experience, analyze site performance, and improve our services. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types we use, their purposes, and how you can manage them.

This policy complies with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) (PDPO) of Hong Kong. Cookies only fall under PDPO when they involve personal data (information relating to an identifiable individual). We prioritize privacy: most data collected is aggregated and anonymized.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (e.g., language, login) over time.

Cookies can be:

• First-party — set by us
• Third-party — set by our partners (e.g., analytics providers)
• Session — deleted when you close the browser
• Persistent — remain until expiry or deletion

2. Types of Cookies We Use

a. Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These are required for the website to function properly (e.g., navigation, security, remembering form inputs). They do not usually collect personal data under PDPO.

• Examples: Session cookies for site operation, security tokens.
• Purpose: Enable core functionality like page loading and secure access.
• Duration: Session or short-term (days).
• Legal basis: Essential for providing the service (no consent required).

b. Performance / Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time spent, errors) to improve performance. Data is typically aggregated and anonymized.

• Examples: Google Analytics (tracks usage patterns), platform analytics.
• Purpose: Site optimization, traffic analysis, user experience improvements.
• Duration: Persistent (up to 2 years for some Google cookies).
• These may involve personal data (e.g., IP address); we use anonymized settings where possible.

c. Functionality Cookies

These remember choices you make (e.g., language preference) to provide a personalized experience.

• Examples: Preference storage.
• Purpose: Enhance usability on return visits.

Our site may use third-party services that set cookies:

• Embedded content (e.g., videos, maps) may set cookies from YouTube, Google Maps, etc.

We have no control over third-party cookies; refer to their policies (e.g., Google Privacy Policy).

4. How We Manage Cookies & Compliance
