Cookie Policy for Geower

This Cookie Policy outlines the methodologies Geower employs to utilize cookies and similar tracking technologies on our digital platforms. This document serves to explain what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices available to you regarding their implementation. By continuing to browse our website, you acknowledge the terms set forth herein regarding the processing of data collected via these mechanisms.

As of 2026-10-19, this policy reflects our commitment to transparency and compliance with relevant data protection frameworks governing digital interactions. We reserve the right to modify this policy periodically to align with evolving regulatory landscapes or operational changes.

The Nature of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device—be it a computer, tablet, or smartphone—when you access our services. They perform various functions, such as remembering your preferences, enhancing user experience, and facilitating site navigation. Beyond standard cookies, we may utilize 'web beacons', 'pixels', or 'tracking scripts' to gather analytical insights and deliver tailored content. These technologies collectively assist us in maintaining the integrity and functionality of our web environment.

Categories of Cookies Utilized

We classify the tracking technologies used on our site into three distinct categories based on their functionality and purpose:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our services would be unable to function correctly, and therefore, they cannot be switched off in our systems. They do not store personally identifiable information.
• Analytical and Performance Cookies: These tools allow us to quantify visits and traffic sources, enabling us to measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most popular, which are the least visited, and how users navigate the platform. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will be unable to monitor its performance effectively.
• Marketing and Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Duration of Data Storage

The duration for which cookies persist on your device varies depending on their specific type:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary and are erased automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a pre-defined period or until you manually delete them. This allows our site to recognize you upon your return, maintaining your preferences and settings for an optimized user experience.

Management and Control of Cookies

Users maintain full autonomy over their privacy settings regarding cookies. Most web browsers provide settings that allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies according to your preference. You may configure your browser to:

• Automatically accept or reject all cookies.
• Notify you when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide on a case-by-case basis.
• Clear all existing cookies upon closing the browser session.

Please be advised that disabling certain categories of cookies, particularly those categorized as 'Strictly Necessary', may result in the degradation of website functionality or the inability to access specific features of our services. Your browser's 'Help' or 'Settings' menu typically contains detailed instructions on how to manage these configurations.

Third-Party Data Processing

In the course of providing our services, we may engage third-party service providers to assist with data analysis and marketing activities. These entities may place their own cookies on your device to collect information about your online activities across different websites. We ensure that our partnerships are established with providers who adhere to rigorous data protection standards. However, please note that the information collected by third parties is subject to their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them independently.

Policy Updates and Compliance

We perform regular audits of our tracking mechanisms to ensure compliance with current regulations. Any significant updates to how we process cookie data will be documented here. Your continued use of the Geower platform following any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed about our data practices.
