Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites to make them work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site about how users interact with their content.
Cookies were invented in 1994 as a way for websites to "remember" information about your visit. When you visit a website for the first time, the site sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a small file on your device. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the server to recognize your browser and remember things like your preferences or login status.
Each cookie has a name, a value (the data being stored), a domain (which websites can read it), an expiration date, and a path (which parts of the site can access it). Cookies are specific to a domain — a cookie set by overmainlab.com cannot be read by any other website.
Cookies come in two main types based on how long they last:
In addition to cookies, websites use other technologies that serve similar purposes:
Plain language summary: Cookies are small files that help websites remember you. Some are essential (the site breaks without them), others help us improve the site, and some are used for marketing. You can control most of them.
We use cookies and similar technologies for a variety of purposes that benefit both you and us. Here is why cookies matter to the operation of our website:
We are committed to using only the cookies we genuinely need and to being transparent about every cookie we set. We do not use cookies to collect more information than is necessary for the purposes described above.
We categorize the cookies on our website into four types based on their purpose:
These cookies are required for the basic functionality of our website. Without them, services you have asked for — like navigating between pages or filling in forms — cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Do you need consent for these? No. Under GDPR and most other privacy frameworks, essential cookies are exempt from consent requirements because they are strictly necessary to deliver a service explicitly requested by the user. However, we still inform you about them for transparency.
Examples of what essential cookies do on our site:
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify individual users.
Do you need consent for these? Yes. We only activate analytics cookies when you accept cookies via our cookie consent banner. You can decline analytics cookies and our site will still work fully for you.
What analytics cookies help us understand:
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they might be used to remember your language preference or the region you are in. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Do you need consent for these? Yes. We activate functional cookies only with your consent.
Examples of functional cookie capabilities:
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers. We may use these if and when we run advertising campaigns.
Do you need consent for these? Yes, absolutely. We only activate marketing cookies with your explicit, freely-given consent.
Marketing cookies may be used to:
We want to be clear: we do not use marketing cookies to build detailed profiles about you or sell your data to advertisers. Any marketing cookies we use are solely to promote Overmainlab's own products and services to people who may be genuinely interested in them.
Below is a detailed list of the specific cookies and local storage items currently in use on overmainlab.com. We update this list whenever we add or remove cookies.
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies, and they are subject to the privacy policies of the third-party providers. We list all known third-party cookies in Section 4 above.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (or, for users in the EEA, Google Ireland Limited). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
Google processes this information on our behalf in accordance with our data processing agreement with Google. Google has implemented a range of measures to protect your data, including IP anonymization (we have enabled IP anonymization so that Google truncates IP addresses before storing them in most cases) and data retention controls.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by declining analytics cookies in our cookie banner.
For more information on Google Analytics data practices, see:
Our website uses Google Fonts to serve typefaces (Questrial and Roboto). When your browser loads a page on our site, it requests the font files from Google's servers. This request includes your IP address and browser information, which Google may log. We use a rel="preconnect" hint to speed up the font loading.
Google Fonts does not use cookies for its font delivery service. However, the connection to Google's servers does allow Google to record the request. For more information, see Google Fonts FAQ on Privacy.
Our website may include links to social media platforms such as Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and others. If you click these links or interact with embedded social content, those platforms may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies, and they are subject to the respective platforms' privacy policies.
We do not embed social media "like" buttons or share widgets that automatically load third-party tracking scripts without your interaction.
If we run paid advertising campaigns, platforms such as Google Ads, Meta Ads, or LinkedIn Ads may place cookies on your device to help us measure the effectiveness of our ads and reach people who have visited our website. These cookies are only activated with your explicit consent through our cookie banner.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many advertising networks through:
In addition to traditional cookies, we use browser local storage to save certain preferences. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not transmitted to our servers with every request — it stays on your device and is only read by our site's JavaScript.
We currently use local storage for the following:
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
oml_cookie_consent |
Stores your cookie consent decision (values: "accepted" or "declined") so the consent banner respects your choice across visits | Until cleared by user |
You can clear local storage data through your browser's developer tools or by clearing your browsing data. Note that clearing local storage will reset your cookie consent preference, and the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
We may use web beacons (also known as tracking pixels or clear GIFs) in our email communications and on certain pages of our website. Web beacons are tiny, invisible images embedded in content. They allow us to know whether you have opened an email we sent you or visited a specific page.
You can disable web beacons in emails by setting your email client not to download images. The usefulness of this approach varies by email client. Note that disabling email images will also disable web beacons.
You have several options for controlling and managing cookies. Here we explain each method in detail so you can choose the approach that works best for you.
The most direct way to control non-essential cookies on our site is through our cookie consent banner. When you visit our site for the first time, you will see a banner at the bottom of the screen offering you the choice to "Accept" or "Decline" non-essential cookies.
oml_cookie_consent.To change your cookie preference at any time, you can clear the oml_cookie_consent entry from your browser's local storage (see your browser's developer tools), which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.
You can control cookies through your browser's settings. Here are instructions for the most popular browsers:
| Browser | Cookie Settings Location |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data |
| Mozilla Firefox | Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data |
| Apple Safari | Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data |
| Opera | Settings → Advanced → Privacy & security → Content settings → Cookies |
From your browser settings, you can:
Please be aware that if you block all cookies, some features of our website may not function properly. Essential cookies in particular are required for the site to work correctly.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the free Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on works across all websites that use Google Analytics, not just ours.
To opt out of interest-based advertising from participating advertising networks:
On mobile devices, you can control cookies through your browser app's settings, similar to desktop browsers. Additionally:
Under applicable privacy laws including GDPR and similar regulations, we require your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Here is how our consent mechanism works:
We display a cookie consent banner when you first visit our website. The banner:
When you make a choice on our cookie banner, we store your decision in browser local storage (oml_cookie_consent). This allows us to:
You can withdraw your consent at any time by:
oml_cookie_consent entry from your browser's local storage (via browser Developer Tools → Application → Local Storage)Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any cookie use that occurred before you withdrew consent. After withdrawal, only essential cookies will be active on our site.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and many websites do not honor them.
We honor DNT signals where technically feasible. If your browser sends a DNT signal, we will treat it as equivalent to declining non-essential cookies and will not activate analytics or marketing cookies for your session, regardless of your local storage settings.
Note that even if you enable DNT, essential cookies will still be set, as they are strictly necessary for the website to function.
The Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a newer standard for signaling opt-out of sale/sharing. We honor GPC signals where received and technically implementable. For California residents, a GPC signal constitutes a valid opt-out of sale/sharing request under CCPA/CPRA.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or as new privacy laws come into effect. When we make changes, we will:
We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about our cookie practices. The date at the top of this policy tells you when it was last revised.
If we introduce new cookies that require consent, we will reset the cookie banner for all users so you have the opportunity to accept or decline the new cookies before they are activated.
