Cookie Policy
You are in control.
We explain what cookies are, what they may be used for and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small pieces of data that may be stored on or read from your device through your browser when you visit a website. They may be used to operate the site, maintain security, remember preferences or, where users provide consent, measure usage and performance.
2. Cookie Categories
| Category | Purpose | Default status |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core site functions, security, sessions and delivery of a service explicitly requested by the user. | Always active |
| Preferences / Functional | Personalize the experience by remembering preferences such as language or interface settings. | Depending on legal basis / consent where required |
| Analytics / Performance | Measure visit and usage statistics and improve site performance. | Off where consent is required |
| Marketing / Targeting | Interest-based content, advertising or retargeting activities. | Off without consent |
3. Legal Basis and Explicit Consent
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without explicit consent to the extent required to provide the service or ensure information security. Analytics, functional or marketing cookies that require explicit consent are not activated until the user actively permits them. Where consent is required, refusing consent is not designed to disadvantage the user with respect to non-essential parts of the service.
4. Cookie Inventory
The table below describes the preference record and essential technologies defined in the current website code. Optional analytics and marketing categories remain off until consent is given. The provider and retention details for any third-party services or server cookies should be verified and the inventory updated when those services are used.
| Cookie / technology | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| gns_cookie_preferences (localStorage) | GNS | Remember the user’s cookie preferences on the device. | 180 days |
| Technical/essential records | GNS / hosting infrastructure | Security and technical delivery of the site. | According to infrastructure settings |
5. Third-Party Content
When third-party content such as maps is embedded on a page, the relevant provider may process data or cookies through its own domain. Therefore, the cookie inventory and consent mechanism should be reviewed separately before enabling non-essential third-party technologies.
6. How Can You Manage Your Preferences?
You can change your site preferences from the Cookie Preferences page. You can also view, delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies at browser level may prevent some site functions from operating as expected.
7. Updates to This Policy
If cookies or third-party technologies change, this policy and the cookie inventory will be updated. For questions, contact us at info@gnsaritma.com .
