Cookie Policy

Effective Date: March 4, 2026

1. What Are Cookies

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 to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used. Cookies are stored on your device's hard drive or in your browser's memory and can be read by the website that created them on your subsequent visits.

Cookies may be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. Cookies can also be classified as "first-party cookies" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are used on the Odessa Digital SEO LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") website at www.odessadigitalseo.com (the "Website"), what information they collect, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we collect and process your personal information.

2. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our Website. These cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the Website, and other basic features. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled in our systems.

These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes or to remember where you have been on the internet. Strictly necessary cookies are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

The strictly necessary cookies we use include:

  • Session Management Cookies: These cookies are used to maintain your session state as you navigate between pages on our Website. They are session cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Security Cookies: These cookies help protect our Website from unauthorized access and potential security threats, such as cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
  • Cookie Consent Cookie: This cookie records your cookie consent preferences so that we do not need to ask you for consent every time you visit our Website. This is a persistent cookie with a typical duration of one (1) year.

3. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and used to improve how our Website works.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze usage of our Website. Google Analytics uses the following cookies:

  • _ga: This cookie is used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. It is included in each page request on the Website and is used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for the Website's analytics reports. This is a persistent first-party cookie with a default expiration of two (2) years from the date it is set or updated.
  • _ga_*: This cookie is used by Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to persist session state and track user interactions across sessions. The asterisk (*) represents the unique measurement ID of your Google Analytics property (for example, _ga_XXXXXXXXXX). This is a persistent first-party cookie with a default expiration of two (2) years from the date it is set or updated. It stores and updates a unique value for each page visited and is used to determine the start and end of a session, as well as to calculate various engagement metrics.

The information generated by these cookies about your use of our Website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our Website, compiling reports on Website activity for us, and providing other services relating to Website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, which prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information about visit activity with Google Analytics.

4. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). You can manage your cookie preferences through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from websites.

5. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block cookies, please be aware that some features and functionality of our Website may not work as intended. Specifically:

  • Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using certain core features of the Website, such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, or submitting forms.
  • Blocking analytics cookies will prevent us from collecting information about how you use our Website. This means we will not be able to track your visit in our analytics reports, which helps us understand and improve our Website's performance. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected by blocking analytics cookies.
  • Blocking all cookies may significantly impair your experience on our Website and on many other websites across the internet. Many websites rely on cookies to provide essential functionality, remember your preferences, and deliver a personalized experience.

We recommend that you keep strictly necessary cookies enabled to ensure the best possible experience on our Website. You can selectively block analytics or other non-essential cookies if you prefer not to be tracked for analytical purposes.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable laws and regulations. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the "Effective Date" at the top will be revised to indicate when the changes were made. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. Your continued use of our Website after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
