Gmaven Website Cookie Policy

Last updated: 13 June 2026

This is a website-level policy for the Gmaven website (gmaven.com and its blog). It should be read with our Website Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use.

1. Purpose

This policy explains what cookies are, how the Gmaven website uses them, and how you can control them. It should be read with the Gmaven Website Privacy Policy.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your device when you visit. They are widely used and do not harm your device; they store or collect information to help a website work and to improve your experience, for example by remembering your preferences so you do not have to set them again on your next visit.

3. Types of cookies

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies, which last only until you leave the website; and
  • Persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.

They can also be:

  • First-party cookies, set by the Gmaven website itself; and
  • Third-party cookies, set by another organisation whose services we use, for example an analytics provider.

4. What we use cookies for

  • Essential cookies, which are needed to make the website work and to let you use its features. Without these, parts of the website would not function.
  • Preference cookies, which remember choices you make and information you enter in forms, to improve your experience. This includes remembering your cookie choice.
  • Analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are most visited, so that we can improve it. Where these involve a third-party analytics provider, that provider processes the information under its own terms. These load only after you accept them.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of you, and we do not share personal information with third parties through cookies for their own marketing, unless we tell you and obtain your consent where the law requires it.

5. Third-party websites

The website may link to third-party websites or services. Those third parties may set their own cookies, which we do not control. Please read their cookie and privacy policies before using them.

6. Your choices

When you first visit the website, we show a cookie notice. Essential cookies load straight away; non-essential cookies (such as analytics) load only after you accept them. You can decline non-essential cookies and still use the website.

Most browsers also let you see what cookies you have and delete them, and block cookies from some or all websites. You can usually find these controls in your browser's settings or help menu. If you block essential cookies, parts of the website may not work properly.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The current version and its date appear at the top. Where changes are material, we will place a notice on the website.

8. Contact

For any question about this policy, contact us at support@gmaven.com or, for privacy matters, our Information Officer at officer@gmaven.com.
