Overview
ContextOS, Inc. explains its use of cookies on contextos.com. The policy should be read with the Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
“Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.” They help sites function, remember preferences, track usage, and support advertising where permitted. Some originate from ContextOS; others come from third-party service providers.
How we use cookies, and your choices
Strictly necessary cookies remain always active since the site depends on them. Other cookies follow regional rules:
- EU, UK, Canada, similar regions: Non-essential cookies default to off; users must opt in
- US: Non-essential cookies may load by default with opt-out available; California residents get a specific “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option
Users can modify consent through the cookie banner settings or the cookie icon on the page. Browser settings also allow blocking or deletion.

Third-party cookies

Managing cookies in your browser
Browsers allow users to refuse or delete cookies via settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair functionality. Browser help resources explain management for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

ContextOS may update this policy to reflect cookie changes or legal requirements, revising the date above accordingly.
