Cookie Policy

This policy explains how GIZE PLC uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We take a privacy-first approach: this website does not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking.

1. Cookies We Do Not Use

We do not use the following on this website:

• Advertising cookies — we do not run ads and do not partner with advertising networks.
• Third-party tracking cookies — we do not allow third parties to set cookies in your browser.
• Cross-site tracking — we do not track your activity across other websites.
• Analytics cookies — our analytics tool (Umami) is cookieless by design (see Section 2).

2. Privacy-Friendly Analytics (Umami)

We use Umami, an open-source, privacy-friendly web analytics platform, to understand aggregate traffic patterns — such as which pages are visited most, approximate geographic regions, and referring websites. Umami is configured to be cookieless, which means:

• No cookies are set in your browser for analytics purposes.
• No personal data is collected — your IP address is not stored in identifiable form.
• No cross-site or cross-session tracking is performed.
• No personal data is shared with third parties for advertising.

Because Umami does not use cookies or collect personal data, this website does not require a cookie consent banner under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the ePrivacy Directive for analytics purposes. However, you still have the right to opt out of analytics tracking — see Section 4.

3. Essential Session Functionality

The only storage this website uses is essential browser storage required for basic functionality — such as remembering your contact form inputs briefly while you fill them out. This is strictly necessary for the website to function and does not require consent under applicable law.

4. Your Choices and Opt-Out

Even though our analytics are cookieless and anonymous, you may still prefer not to be counted. You can opt out of analytics tracking by:

• Enabling a privacy-focused browser extension such as uBlock Origin or NoScript, which will block the Umami script from loading.
• Enabling your browser’s built-in “Do Not Track” feature (Umami respects this signal by default).
• Using a private or incognito browsing window.

Opting out of analytics does not affect your ability to use this website in any way.

5. Managing Browser Storage

Most browsers allow you to view, clear, or block cookies and local storage. Doing so may affect how parts of this website function. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions on managing cookies and site data.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of technologies changes or as required by applicable law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
