Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the Gratio website uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with its operation. It is intended to provide clear, transparent information about the very limited cookie usage on this platform.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function properly and to provide information to website operators. Cookies are stored by your web browser and sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits, allowing that site to recognise your browser and remember certain information.

There are various types of cookies distinguished by their origin, purpose, and duration:

Session Cookies

Temporary cookies that exist only during a single browsing session. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain basic continuity during your visit to a website.

Persistent Cookies

Cookies that remain on your device after your browsing session ends, until either they expire or you delete them. They allow a website to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits.

First-Party Cookies

Cookies set directly by the website you are visiting. They are generally used for the technical operation of the site and to remember your preferences within that site.

Third-Party Cookies

Cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. They are commonly used by advertising networks, analytics providers, and social media platforms to track user behaviour across websites.

Essential Cookies

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the basic technical functioning of a website. Without them, certain features of the site may not operate correctly. They are not used for tracking, profiling, or commercial purposes.

Analytical Cookies

Cookies used to collect information about how visitors use a website, such as which pages are visited most often. This information is typically used to improve the website's functionality.

Marketing Cookies

Cookies used to track visitors across websites for the purpose of delivering targeted advertising relevant to the individual visitor. Gratio does not use cookies of this type.

How Gratio Uses Cookies

Essential Cookies Only

Gratio uses only essential cookies that are necessary for the basic technical operation of the website. These cookies do not collect personal data, are not used for tracking purposes, and have no connection to advertising, analytics platforms, or commercial interests. They are strictly functional in nature.

Consent Preference Cookie

When you interact with the cookie consent notice displayed on this website, a small item of data is stored in your browser's local storage to record your preference. This ensures that the consent notice is not displayed repeatedly on subsequent visits. This item contains only your recorded preference (accepted or declined) and carries no personally identifying information. It is a first-party, functional item with no tracking capability.

No Third-Party Cookies

Gratio does not use third-party cookies of any kind. No advertising networks, analytics services, social media platforms, or external data processors place cookies on your device through your use of this website. All cookies and local storage items associated with this site are first-party and essential in nature.

No Analytical or Marketing Cookies

Gratio does not employ analytical cookies, performance monitoring tools, heat-mapping software, behavioural tracking systems, or marketing automation platforms. The platform has no commercial interest in visitor behaviour and no infrastructure for collecting or utilising such data.

Specific Cookies Used

The following describes the specific cookie or storage item associated with normal use of this website:

gratio_cookie_consent

Type: Local storage item (first-party). Purpose: Records your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined) to prevent repeated display of the consent notice. Duration: Persists in browser local storage until cleared by the user. Data collected: A single string value indicating your recorded preference. No personal data is involved.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Browser Settings

You can control and manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used browsers are available through the browser providers' official support resources. Note that blocking or deleting all cookies may affect the functionality of other websites you use, although the impact on Gratio is minimal given its very limited use of cookies.

Clearing Local Storage

The consent preference stored by this website in your browser's local storage can be cleared through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings. Clearing this item will cause the cookie consent notice to reappear on your next visit. This has no effect on your ability to access and use the site.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a Do Not Track feature that sends a signal to websites indicating your preference not to be tracked. As Gratio does not engage in any tracking activity, this signal does not alter the site's behaviour, which remains non-tracking regardless of this setting.

Changes to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the platform's technical operation or applicable requirements. The current version will always be available on this page. The date of the most recent review is noted below.
