1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website work correctly, stay secure, and remember information about your visit. Similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage, and session identifiers — work in a comparable way.

Cookies are widely used across the internet and are an essential part of how most websites function.

2. How we use cookies

GaulBridge Ltd. uses cookies and similar technologies to:

• Ensure our website and platform function correctly and securely
• Keep your session active and authenticated while you are logged in
• Remember your preferences, such as language or region settings
• Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• Support fraud prevention, security monitoring, and compliance functions
• Where you have consented, support analytics and marketing measurement

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, track you across third-party websites, or sell your data to advertisers.

3. Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website and platform to function. They cannot be switched off. They support core features such as:

• Secure login and session management
• Fraud prevention and bot detection
• Load balancing and performance
• Cookie consent preference storage

You cannot opt out of essential cookies. Without them, the website and platform cannot function.

Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are most visited, how long people spend on the site, and where visitors come from. This information is used in aggregate to improve our website. We use privacy-respecting analytics tools and, where possible, anonymise IP addresses.

Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.

Functional cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalised experience — such as your preferred language, region, or display settings. They are only set with your consent.

Marketing cookies

Where you have given consent, we may use cookies to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to understand how users arrive at our website. We do not use marketing cookies to serve targeted advertising on third-party websites.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by trusted third-party service providers, including analytics, security, and platform performance tools. These providers act as our data processors and are bound by data processing agreements. They may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

We do not allow third-party advertising networks to place cookies on our website.

5. Managing your cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Cookie banner: When you first visit our website, you will be shown a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences in detail
• Account preferences: You can update your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings link on our website
• Browser settings: You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies — refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions
• Opt-out tools: Some analytics providers offer opt-out tools — for example, the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on

6. Your consent

We only set non-essential cookies where you have given your consent. Your consent is recorded and can be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawing consent will stop non-essential cookies from being set going forward, but will not remove cookies that have already been placed.

Where required by applicable law (including PIPEDA, the UK GDPR, and the EU ePrivacy Directive), we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulatory requirements, or the cookies we use. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised date. We will notify you of material changes through the cookie consent banner or by other appropriate means.
