This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how openedge.digital uses them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader context for how we handle personal information. This policy is issued in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines and applicable international standards for cookie transparency.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide information to website operators about how their site is being used. Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you, though in some cases they may be linked to personal data you have provided.
Cookies can be "session cookies," which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They can also be "first-party cookies," placed by the website you are visiting, or "third-party cookies," placed by a different domain, often for analytics or advertising purposes.
The following table lists the specific cookies that may be placed on your device when you visit openedge.digital, their category, purpose, and how long they remain on your device.
| Cookie Name | Category | Purpose | Duration | First or Third Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| oed_consent | Strictly Necessary | Records your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined) so the consent bar does not reappear on every page visit | 180 days | First Party |
| _ga | Analytics (Optional) | Google Analytics identifier used to distinguish unique users and sessions for website traffic analysis | 2 years | Third Party (Google) |
| _ga_[ID] | Analytics (Optional) | Google Analytics session state cookie used to maintain and track session-level data | 2 years | Third Party (Google) |
| _gid | Analytics (Optional) | Google Analytics cookie used to distinguish users across sessions within a 24-hour period | 24 hours | Third Party (Google) |
Strictly Necessary Cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent under applicable law. The oed_consent cookie falls into this category because it records your own privacy preference and is necessary for the consent mechanism to work correctly.
Analytics Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting information in an aggregated, anonymous form. These cookies are only placed if you accept cookies through the consent bar. If you decline, analytics cookies are not set. Analytics data is used solely to improve the website's content and user experience and is not used to identify individual users.
You can manage your cookie preferences through several methods. The cookie consent bar at the top of this website allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies when you first visit the site. Your choice is stored in the oed_consent cookie for 180 days. After that period, the consent bar will reappear and you will be asked to confirm your preference again.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites or from all websites. The process varies by browser; consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
For Google Analytics specifically, you may opt out of tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or as legal requirements evolve. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after any update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
