Cookie Policy
Last updated: 21st September 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Ombiy ("we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://www.ombiy.com/ (the "Site").
We do not set cookies on this Site, and nothing non-essential is loaded unless you take a deliberate action that requires it — such as pressing play on an embedded video. That is why we do not ask you to accept a cookie banner. You can also control and manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings, to improve your experience.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).
3. Our Cookie Usage
Unlike many websites, Ombiy.com does not set or use any first-party cookies for analytics, tracking, or marketing purposes. We do not use:
- Google Analytics or other analytics tracking cookies
- Marketing or advertising cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Session cookies for user authentication (as we don't have user accounts on the main site)
4. Third-Party Services
While our website does not use cookies directly, we do integrate with external services that may set their own cookies when you interact with them:
Embedded Video (YouTube and Vimeo)
Some Media Centre items include a video hosted by YouTube or Vimeo. These embeds are not loaded when the page opens. We show a still image and a play button instead, and the player is only requested after you press play. Until you do, no request is made to YouTube or Vimeo and they cannot set cookies.
When you press play, we load the video from YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain (youtube-nocookie.com), or from Vimeo with "do not track" enabled. This prevents the player from using your viewing data for advertising, though it may still store data needed to play the video and remember playback preferences.
Purpose: Playing a video you have chosen to watch
Domain: youtube-nocookie.com, player.vimeo.com
Type: Loaded only when you press play
More information: Google Cookie Policy · Vimeo Cookie Policy
Embedded Map (OpenStreetMap)
Our Contact page can show a map of our address, served by OpenStreetMap. Like our video embeds, the map is not loaded when the page opens. You see a placeholder with a "Show map" button, and nothing is requested from OpenStreetMap unless you press it. The address itself is printed on the page, so you never need to load the map to find us.
Purpose: Showing our location when you ask to see it
Domain: openstreetmap.org
Type: Loaded only when you press "Show map"
More information: OpenStreetMap Foundation Privacy Policy
Calendly (Appointment Booking Service)
When you click on "Book a demo" or "Request a callback" links, you are redirected to Calendly's website. Calendly sets cookies on their domain for:
- Scheduling and appointment management
- User preferences
- Analytics and service improvement
Purpose: Necessary for booking functionality
Domain: calendly.com
Type: Session and persistent cookies
More information: Calendly Privacy Notice
External CDN Services
We do not load third-party CSS frameworks from a public CDN on this Site.

7. Your Choices
Since Ombiy.com does not use first-party cookies, you can browse our main website without any tracking or data collection via cookies. However:
- If you press play on an embedded video, it is loaded from YouTube or Vimeo and their cookie policies apply
- If you visit Calendly to book an appointment, Calendly's cookie policy applies
You can always contact us via email at hello@ombiy.com instead of using a booking tool.
8. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top will indicate when the policy was last revised.
We encourage you to review this page from time to time. If we ever introduce cookies or tracking that require your consent, we will ask for it before they are used rather than relying on your continued use of the Site.
