Last Updated: October 23, 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how Optiv Security Inc., Optiv Federal Inc. and their subsidiaries and affiliates (“Optiv,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and our service providers deploy cookies on Optiv’s websites, as well as the options you have to control them. For more information on how we collect, use, and disclose personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

(1) WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files that are stored on your computer or other device. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting, or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or social media integration services on the website (known as “third party cookies”). The website or third party that sets the cookie may access the cookie on subsequent visits. This enables websites to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (through a “persistent cookie”). Cookies help ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in.

Both websites and emails may contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that allow us to gather information for similar purposes as cookies. Web beacons or pixels are often used in conjunction with cookies but are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

(2) HOW WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons (e.g., website security or optimization); some enable a personalized experience; some enable us to distinguish unique visitors for purposes of analyzing the effectiveness of our content and marketing; and some allow advertising networks to deliver advertisements that may be of interest to you.
