This Cookie Policy explains how Rhino Intelligence Ltd ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our websites and use our services, including the Oil and Gas Project Development Toolkit and related platforms.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or until they expire) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by other services used by the website).

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

These cookies are necessary for our websites to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account authentication. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are required for the service to work.

These technologies are subject to the same controls and policies as cookies.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals. Our platforms do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, but we respect your privacy choices through the cookie management options described above.
