3. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES 

3.1 What are cookies? 

A cookie is a text file placed in the browser of your computer or mobile device by a website’s server when you visit a website. Cookies make it possible to recognise visitors’ browsers and remember certain information about them. 

A cookie usually contains the name of the server that placed the cookie, as well as a unique code that allows your browser to be recognised when you visit the website. This enables us to save certain settings, such as your language preference, to make your visit to the website faster and easier. 

Cookies can also be used to make website content or advertisements more relevant to visitors and better tailored to their preferences and needs. Certain cookies may be set by third parties. If you do not want a website to place cookies on your device, you can change your browser settings. This is explained further in this Cookie Policy. 

3.2 What types of cookies are there? 

Strictly necessary cookies 

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, remembering language settings or completing forms. 

You can set your browser to block these cookies or alert you about them, but some parts of the website may then not function properly. 

Performance and analytics cookies 

We use analytics cookies to measure visits to our website. This gives us a better understanding of which sections are most relevant to our visitors and which content is most popular, allowing us to tailor our website to the people who use it. 

We use third-party software from Google Analytics, Ahrefs Web Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. 

IP addresses are recorded by our functional and analytics cookies if you have given your consent. The resulting statistics and reports are not linked to personal data. 

Functional cookies 

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. 

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. 

Advertising and targeting cookies 

Our website may also use cookies from other organisations to enable us to provide you with offers and information that are relevant to you. 

First-party and third-party cookies 

There is also a distinction between first-party and third-party cookies. 

First-party cookies are created by the website you are visiting and store information to enhance your experience on that specific website. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are generated by external domains, often for advertising purposes, and may track your online activity across different websites. 

While first-party cookies are directly related to the website you are visiting, third-party cookies involve external organisations collecting information about your browsing activity across multiple websites. 

Social media cookies 

When you visit our website, you can share various articles and videos using social media buttons. To ensure that these buttons function properly, we use cookies from the relevant social media platforms. We require your consent to use these cookies. 

These cookies may allow these platforms to recognise you when you choose to share content from our website. For more information about the cookies placed by social media platforms and the data they collect, please consult the cookie policies on their respective websites. 

Please note that these policies may change at any time and GPTW has no control over such changes. 

GPTW is active on the following social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. 

3.3 How can you manage or disable cookies? 

When you first visit our website, you can indicate your cookie preferences through our cookie banner. We use Enzuzo as our consent management platform to collect and manage these preferences. 

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings available on our website. 

Enzuzo may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies to remember your cookie preferences. These technologies are necessary to ensure that your choices are respected and therefore do not require your consent. 

If you also wish to block or delete cookies on your device, you can do so through the settings of the browser you use: 

• Opera 

• Google Chrome 

• Firefox 

• Safari 

• Microsoft Edge 

Please note that disabling cookies may cause certain graphical elements or applications on the website to function less effectively. GPTW will make every effort to ensure that the website functions properly. However, certain parts of the website require the use of cookies. 

In any event, we will ask for your consent again after one year for cookies for which you have previously given your consent, or if our Cookie Policy changes.
