Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2 September 2026 · Effective: 2 September 2026 · ODD Media LLC

This Cookie Policy explains how MapsHarvest (ODD Media LLC) uses cookies and similar technologies on mapsharvest.com and in the MapsHarvest application. It should be read with our Privacy Policy, which describes what we do with the information these technologies collect.

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. We also use similar technologies: local storage (data your browser stores for a site), pixels (tiny images or scripts that report when a page or email is opened), and software development kits and tags (scripts from analytics and advertising providers). In this Policy we call all of these "cookies". Cookies set by us are "first-party"; cookies set by other companies whose tools we use are "third-party".

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

  • keep you signed in and keep the Service secure (strictly necessary);
  • remember your preferences, including your cookie choices (preferences);
  • understand how visitors use our website and application so we can improve them and measure our marketing (analytics and attribution);
  • measure our advertising and show MapsHarvest ads to people who have visited our site (advertising).

3. Your choices

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before setting any cookie that is not strictly necessary. Our banner lets you accept all, reject all with one click, or choose by category. Nothing in the analytics or advertising categories loads until you accept, and Google tags run in Consent Mode so that they respect your choice. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the link in the page footer; withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place.

If you are elsewhere, analytics and advertising cookies may be set when you first visit, and you can opt out at any time through the link, which also serves as our "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" control for US residents. We also honour the Global Privacy Control browser signal as an opt-out of advertising cookies and of sale/sharing where the law recognises it.

Browser controls. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings (see Section 6). If you block strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in to your account.

4. The cookies we use

Names, lifetimes and providers can change when providers update their tools; we review this table regularly and update it when it changes.
