When you visit our websites, we, or an authorised third party, may store a cookie or similar technologies on your device and browser that collects and processes information about your online activities over time and across different sites. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device, and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to.

You can choose your cookie settings and can change your choices at anytime by clicking on the Cookies Preferences link present in the footer, except for Strictly Necessary Cookies (further explained below). Blocking some types of cookies, however, may impact your experience of the site and the services we are able to offer.
Cookies are small text files of letters and numbers containing a unique user ID that are placed on a device to store data that can be recollected by a web server in the domain that placed the cookie. Cookies can do several things, for example, remembering your preferences, recording what you have put in your shopping basket and counting the number of people looking at a website. Similar technologies, such as “tracking pixels,” which are small blocks of code on a webpage or app, are also used.
We use cookies and similar technologies for several reasons. To make our website work or work more effectively, for example, counting the number of people visiting the website, remembering user preferences and settings and enabling sign in. To determine which parts of our sites and emails are of interest to you, to improve your experiences with them, to improve site navigation and fix bugs. They can also be used to provide interest-based and more relevant advertising and help us provide you with content, information, products and services more tailored to your interests. Advertising could be on other websites, mobile applications or devices that you use, as OpenText uses third-party cookies.
We may also use cookies and similar technologies in emails to notify us when you have opened an email or clicked on a link in the email. For details on how to unsubscribe from any marketing emails, see the “Your Privacy Rights” section of our Privacy Policy.
