This document is a proposed draft, not an effective agreement or a statement of verified practices. It does not replace Darwin’s existing Terms, Privacy Policy, or a signed agreement. Legal and operational review is required before publication as an effective policy.
This proposed Cookie Policy explains how Darwin Technologies, Inc. would describe cookies and similar technologies used across Darwin websites and services. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy. The cookie inventory, providers, retention periods, and consent requirements must be verified before this draft takes effect.
1. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Local storage and similar browser technologies can also remember information between visits. Pixels and tracking links can record events such as page views, referrals, or conversions. These technologies have different purposes and should not all be treated as necessary to use the service.
2. Categories of use
2.1 Essential functionality
Essential technologies support functions such as signing in, keeping a session secure, and remembering privacy choices. Blocking them can prevent the relevant feature from working.
2.2 Preferences
Preference technologies remember choices such as display settings or the type of content you want to explore. These choices can be device-specific and may be lost when browser data is cleared.
2.3 Analytics and performance
Analytics technologies help measure use, diagnose errors, and understand performance. The final policy must identify the tools actually enabled, the information they receive, and the available controls.
2.4 Campaign attribution
Darwin’s existing Privacy Policy describes tracking pixels and links used to connect campaign activity with outcomes. A business using these tools on its own properties is responsible for providing the notices and obtaining the permissions required for that use.
3. Your choices
You can generally block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Controls for local storage and other site data may be separate. Clearing data can sign you out or reset preferences. Choices made in one browser may not apply to another browser or device.
Where consent is required, the final implementation must collect it before enabling the relevant non-essential technology and provide a way to withdraw it. This draft does not represent that a consent manager, a particular opt-out control, or automated privacy-signal handling is currently implemented.
4. Providers and retention
The final inventory must state each technology’s name, provider, purpose, category, duration, and whether information is shared with a third party. Session technologies generally expire when a session ends; persistent technologies remain until their configured expiration or until removed. No specific duration is promised by this draft.
5. Updates and questions
Material changes should be reflected in the policy and, where required, in notices or renewed consent. For questions about Darwin’s current practices or privacy rights, contact privacy@darwin.so and consult the effective Privacy Policy.
