What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, PentaOrion) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by:
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
To learn more about how to manage cookies through your browser, visit the help section of your web browser:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Apple Safari
- Microsoft Edge
- Opera Browser
Cookie Consent Tool
We provide a cookie consent tool that allows you to selectively opt-in to different categories of cookies (except essential cookies, which cannot be disabled). You can access this tool by clicking on the cookie settings link in our cookie banner or footer.
Third-Party Opt-Outs
Some third-party services we use may offer their own opt-out mechanisms
Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:
Web Beacons
Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our site and emails. They typically work in conjunction with cookies to understand user behavior.
Local Storage
HTML5 local storage allows data to be stored in your browser beyond the duration of your session. We use local storage to remember your preferences and improve site performance.
Session Storage
Similar to local storage but limited to a single browser session. We use session storage for temporary data that only needs to persist during your current visit.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no uniform standard for how to interpret DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
