Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Driven Success LLC, doing business as OpenClaw Direct, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on openclaw.direct and the customer portal. It also describes the cookie categories you can control through our consent banner and how we respond to Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals.

This policy is a companion to our Privacy Policy and applies alongside our Terms of Service.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website to store information such as login state or preferences. We also use related technologies that behave similarly, including:

  • Pixels and beacons — tiny image or script requests used to record events.
  • Local storage and session storage — key/value data persisted in your browser.
  • SDKs and tag managers — client-side scripts that load other tracking technologies based on consent.

For convenience, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” in the rest of this policy.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Service to function and cannot be disabled through the consent banner. They do not track you across sites and are not used for advertising. They include:

  • Authentication — keeps you signed in to your Customer account.
  • CSRF protection — prevents cross-site request forgery on forms and API calls.
  • Session state — preserves your in-flight actions, such as checkout and Machine Instance configuration.
  • Cookie preferences — remembers the choices you made in the consent banner so we do not ask again.
  • Affiliate referral — if you arrive through an affiliate link (a URL containing ?via=), a first-party cookie records the referring code, the page you landed on, and the referring page for up to 90 days so a resulting sign-up can be credited to that affiliate. It is not shared with third parties and is not used to profile you or serve ads.

Blocking these cookies in your browser will break sign-in and core portal features.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand aggregate usage of openclaw.direct — for example, which pages are visited, which plans convert, and where errors occur. This data is used in aggregate to improve the Service.

Our analytics stack is Google Tag Manager, which loads Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Analytics tags are gated by your cookie consent: GTM does not load GA4 until you accept analytics cookies. If you withdraw consent, the tags stop firing on subsequent page loads.

You can opt out at any time through the cookie banner or your browser's privacy controls.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies would be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, attribute sign-ups to referring sources, and personalize ads on third-party platforms. Typical examples include conversion pixels from advertising networks.

We will only enable marketing cookies if you explicitly consent through the cookie banner. If no marketing tags are currently active, this category remains documented here so you can see what would be in scope when consent is granted. Withdrawing consent disables any future marketing tags from loading.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

OpenClaw Direct honors the Global Privacy Control signal, transmitted via the Sec-GPC HTTP header by supporting browsers and extensions. When we receive a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising, in line with applicable U.S. state privacy laws, including:

  • California (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, and Texas.
  • Connecticut and Oregon GPC recognition obligations are effective 1 January 2026.

A GPC signal automatically disables non-essential analytics and marketing cookies on the affected browser, even if a prior banner choice indicated otherwise.

Your Choices

You have several ways to manage cookies and tracking:

  • Cookie banner — accept or reject analytics and marketing categories, or change your selection later via the “Cookie preferences” link in the site footer.
  • Browser settings — block or delete cookies, including strictly necessary ones (note this will break sign-in).
  • Global Privacy Control — enable GPC in a supporting browser or extension to send an automatic opt-out signal.
  • Direct request — email privacy@openclaw.direct to exercise privacy rights described in our Privacy Policy.
