Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Periclase ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform accessible at periclase.net (the "Service"). This policy is provided to comply with the transparency requirements under the CCPA/CPRA (California), state privacy laws where applicable, and other relevant US data protection regulations. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Cookie Policy. This Cookie Policy is incorporated into and governed by our broader Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected device) by websites that you visit. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function efficiently, provide a better user experience, and deliver information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, or font size) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you navigate the site or return to it.

In addition to traditional browser cookies, this policy also covers similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and Flash cookies. These technologies function similarly to cookies by storing data on your device to track your behavior and preferences. For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, the term "cookies" encompasses all of these tracking technologies unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Under the US opt-out model established by the CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws where applicable, we are not required to obtain your prior consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Instead, we provide you with clear information about our use of cookies through this policy and offer you the ability to opt out of certain categories of cookies, particularly those used for marketing and cross-context behavioral advertising. You can exercise your right to opt out at any time using the mechanisms described in this policy.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you directly. However, the data collected through cookies may be linked to personal information you have provided to us (such as your account email address) to help us understand how you use our SaaS platform and improve our services. The specific data collected depends on the type of cookie used, and we detail these categories below.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We utilize several different types of cookies on the Service to serve various functions. The primary categories of cookies we use include Essential Cookies, Analytics Cookies, Marketing Cookies, and Third-Party Cookies. Each category serves a specific purpose and retains data for varying durations. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function, while others are optional and used to enhance your experience or provide us with analytical data.

Cookies can also be categorized by their duration. "Session cookies" are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. These are primarily used to enable the core functionality of the Service during a single browsing session. "Persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period or until they expire or are manually deleted by you. Persistent cookies allow us to recognize your device on subsequent visits to the Service, which helps us remember your preferences and streamline your experience.

Furthermore, cookies can be classified as "first-party" or "third-party." First-party cookies are set by the Periclase you are visiting (i.e., periclase.net). These are generally used to remember your preferences and settings for our specific Service. Third-party cookies are set by Periclases other than the one you are visiting. These are often used for cross-context behavioral advertising and analytics, allowing third-party service providers to track your behavior across multiple websites.

Below, we provide a detailed breakdown of the specific categories of cookies we use on the Service. We encourage you to review these sections carefully to understand how we employ these technologies and how you can manage your preferences regarding them.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies, sometimes referred to as "strictly necessary" cookies, are absolutely critical for the basic functionality of the Service. Without these cookies, the Service cannot function properly, and certain features would be unavailable. These cookies are necessary to enable you to navigate the Service and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the SaaS platform, maintaining your session state, and processing your requests.

For example, when you log into your periclase.net account, essential cookies are used to authenticate your session and ensure that you remain logged in as you navigate between different pages of the Service. They are also used to remember items in your shopping cart, if applicable, and to implement security measures that protect your account and our systems from unauthorized access or fraudulent activities. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the provision of the Service, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools or standard browser settings without severely impacting your ability to use the Service.

Under applicable US privacy laws, including the CCPA/CPRA, essential cookies are generally exempt from opt-out requirements because they are necessary to perform a contract or carry out a requested transaction. We do not use essential cookies to track your behavior for marketing or advertising purposes. The data collected through these cookies is used solely for the technical operation, security, and proper functioning of the Service.

4. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to the Service, understand how visitors navigate through our platform, and identify any technical issues or errors. These cookies collect aggregated, statistical data about how users interact with the Service. The information generated by these cookies helps us measure and improve the performance of our SaaS platform, optimize the user experience, and understand which features are most or least popular.

By analyzing this data, we can identify trends, determine which areas of the Service need improvement, and make informed decisions about future development. For instance, analytics cookies can tell us which pages have the highest bounce rates, how long users spend on specific pages, and which pathways users take through the Service. This information is crucial for us to deliver a high-quality, efficient, and relevant SaaS experience to our users.

The data collected through analytics cookies is generally aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. However, in some cases, third-party analytics providers may use these cookies to collect data that could be linked to your device or IP address. You have the right to opt out of the collection of data by analytics cookies. You can do this by using the opt-out mechanisms provided by the specific third-party analytics providers or by managing your browser settings as described in this policy.

5. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies (or advertising cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited our Service, and this information may be shared with third-party advertising networks to display periclase.net advertisements to you on other websites or platforms.

Under the CCPA opt-out of sale/share provisions and other state privacy laws where applicable, the use of marketing cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a "sale" or "share" of personal information. We respect your right to opt out of these activities. If you wish to opt out of the "sale" or "share" of your personal information for targeted advertising purposes, you may do so by utilizing the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link provided in our Privacy Policy, or by enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal on your browser.

It is important to note that opting out of marketing cookies will not prevent you from seeing advertisements altogether. It simply means that the advertisements you do see will not be tailored to your specific interests based on your browsing behavior across the Service and other websites. We do not control the opt-out mechanisms of third-party advertising networks, and you may need to opt out separately with each network to fully prevent targeted advertising.

We strive to ensure that any marketing activities we engage in are transparent and compliant with applicable US regulations. We only work with reputable third-party advertising partners who are committed to protecting user privacy and adhering to industry standards for online behavioral advertising.

6. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own first-party cookies, we utilize third-party cookies provided by trusted external service providers. These third parties use cookies on the Service for various purposes, including analytics, marketing, and functional enhancements. For example, we may use third-party analytics services to understand how users interact with the Service, or third-party payment processors to facilitate secure transactions. These third-party service providers set their own cookies on your device when you use the Service.

It is important to understand that these third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies and cookie practices of the third-party providers, not by Periclase. We do not have control over the placement or use of these third-party cookies, nor do we have access to the data they collect. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party providers to understand how they use the information collected through their cookies.

Under US privacy laws, we are responsible for providing you with a clear mechanism to opt out of the "sale" or "share" of your personal information by third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. While we cannot directly delete or control third-party cookies, we provide links to the opt-out mechanisms of our major third-party advertising and analytics partners. You can also manage or block third-party cookies directly through your browser settings.

7. How to Control Cookies

As a user of the Service, you have several options for controlling, managing, and deleting cookies. Under the US opt-out model (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to direct us not to "sell" or "share" your personal information, which includes opting out of the use of marketing cookies for targeted advertising. You can exercise this right by clicking the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link located in the footer of our website or in our Privacy Policy.

In addition to our internal opt-out mechanisms, you may also use the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. GPC is a browser setting or extension that automatically sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked or have your personal information sold or shared. If we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request for the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If you wish to opt out of analytics cookies, you can typically do so through the opt-out links provided by our third-party analytics providers. We provide these links in our cookie preference center or within this policy. Please note that opting out of analytics cookies may limit our ability to understand and improve the performance of the Service, but it will not affect your ability to use the core features of the SaaS platform.

It is important to understand that opting out of certain cookies does not mean you will stop seeing all advertisements or that you will no longer receive marketing communications from us if you have otherwise subscribed to them. To unsubscribe from our direct email marketing, you must use the "unsubscribe" link provided in those emails. Opting out of cookies only affects the tracking technologies placed on your device through the Service.

8. Browser Settings

You can also control and manage cookies directly through your web browser settings. Most modern web browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or set your browser to alert you when a cookie is being placed. You can usually find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Privacy" menu of your specific browser. The exact procedure for managing cookies varies depending on the browser you are using, so we recommend consulting the help or support documentation provided by the browser manufacturer.

If you choose to disable or block cookies through your browser settings, please be aware that certain features of the Service may not function properly or at all. Essential cookies are required for the core operation of the SaaS platform, and disabling them may prevent you from logging in, accessing secure areas, or using critical features. Disabling non-essential cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, will not impact the basic functionality of the Service but may affect your personalized experience.

For your convenience, we have provided links to the cookie management instructions for several popular web browsers:

Please note that if you use multiple devices or browsers to access the Service, you will need to manage your cookie settings on each device and browser separately. Additionally, if you clear your browser's cache and cookies, your preferences may be reset, and you may need to reconfigure your settings.

9. Updates to Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technological advancements, or legal and regulatory requirements. We reserve the right to modify this policy at our sole discretion. If we make material changes to this Cookie Policy, we will post the updated policy on the Service and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and your rights regarding them.

Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the modified terms. If you do not agree with the updated Cookie Policy, you should discontinue using the Service. However, please note that essential cookies will still be placed on your device if you attempt to access the Service, as they are necessary for the basic functionality of the platform.

We are not responsible for the cookie practices of third-party websites or services that you may access through links provided on the Service. We recommend that you review the cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit to understand how they use cookies and tracking technologies.
