| 3 | ## 1\. Introduction | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | A cookie is a small file sent from a website and stored on your computer or mobile device, to keep some configuration or tracking information locally. In the following we will explain what data we process through cookies, why we use cookies on our websites and who processes the data in addition to Opera. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | ## 2\. Categories of Data that are collected through cookies | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | **Visitor behavior and engagement.** This includes information on your navigation on the site, interaction with campaign and embedded content and what pages are visited. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | **Visit frequency and duration.** This includes information such as whether it's your first visit, number of visits to the website by you and all users, date of your most recent visit, average time spent on the website or whether the website is left straight away. | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | **Marketing campaign performance.** This involves measuring how successful our marketing campaigns are in attracting more new users. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | **Device data and preferences.** This includes the visitor's device, IP address, settings, and preferences like language. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | **Data collected to provide website functionality.** This includes data necessary to fill, save and checkout your cart in order to enable you to make purchases on our online store called "GX.gear". | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | ## 3\. Why we use cookies | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | 3.1. **Making browsing more convenient for you** | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | For instance, we can use your IP address (which is your unique license plate online) to detect your country so that the browser can display content in your language. This is possible because the IP address reveals which country you are connecting from. If you choose another language manually, we use a cookie to store that preference. This can be relevant for instance if you travel abroad, and access through an IP address in a country with a language other than the one you prefer. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | For certain subdomains like addons.opera.com or forums.opera.com or auth.opera.com we use an authorization cookie. This cookie is set after you sign in to the website with your username and password. The purpose of this cookie is to make authentication more convenient for you, keeping you signed in so you don't have to do it every time you open your browser. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | 3.2. **Marketing** | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | 3.3. **Statistics and analytics** | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | 3.4. **Provision of our other services** | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | In addition to our browser we may also offer other services, some of which may require collection of cookies. Within our online store called 'GX.gear', cookies necessary for the store to function are collected by the operator of the platform where the shop is hosted (Shopify Inc.). Such cookies are needed for instance in order to enable you to fill and check out your cart. [Here](https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies) you may learn more about the necessary cookies for GX.gear store. These cookies are also essential for you to make a purchase, and we will ask you to accept them within the cookie dialog when you enter the GX.gear website. The other types of cookies, like Personalisation, Marketing, and Analytics cookies, are optional. If you choose to accept a collection of such cookies, we would use them for personalisation of your next visit, optimization of marketing activities, and to analyze and understand how you interact with our website. You can manage your preferences as to the optional cookies. | |
