This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used when you visit osmose.industries, who sets them, and how you can manage them. It applies alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to website owners.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and web beacons. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we also mean these similar technologies.
2. Our Cookie Footprint
Good news: This website is intentionally minimal. We do not use any analytics cookies, advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or first-party tracking cookies. The table below reflects the full extent of cookies that may be set on your device.
3. Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms.
3.2 Functional (Newsletter Submission)
When you submit the newsletter/waitlist form, your data is sent to Mailchimp. Mailchimp may set cookies on your device after the form submission to support their email delivery platform.
These cookies are only set if you interact with our subscription form. Mailchimp's privacy and cookie information: mailchimp.com/legal/cookies
3.3 What We Do NOT Use
4. Third-Party Resources Without Cookies
The following third-party resources are loaded by our website but do not set cookies on your device. However, loading them involves a network request that may transfer your IP address to the respective provider:
- Google Fonts API — Used to serve the Inter and Urbanist typefaces. Your browser sends a request to Google's servers, which may receive your IP address. No cookie is set. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Tailwind CSS CDN — A content delivery network serves our CSS framework. This involves a standard HTTP request; no cookie is set by this service.
5. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Under the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act (Loi Informatique et Libertés):
- Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent (ePrivacy Directive, Article 5(3) exception). They are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website.
- Functional cookies set by Mailchimp upon form submission are covered by the consent you provide when subscribing. By submitting the form, you consent to Mailchimp processing your data, which may include setting functional cookies.
6. How to Manage and Delete Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are set and delete them individually or all at once;
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies;

To opt out of Mailchimp's email tracking specifically, you can use the unsubscribe link in any email we send you, or contact us at [email protected].
7. Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal feature. As we do not use analytics or advertising cookies, this signal has no material effect on our website. We do not track users across third-party websites.
