Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy describes how and why cookies may be stored on your device when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Statement for GoGlobal’s Website, where you can find more information about how we process personal data.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are text files with small amounts of information that we place on your device (ex. your computer or smartphone) when you are browsing our website. They are processed and stored by your web browser.

Cookies can be either first-party or third-party. First-party cookies are those placed directly by us on your device when you visit our website, while third-party cookies are placed by a party or organisation other than GoGlobal. A common example of third-party cookies is those placed when a website incorporates advertising from other sites.

In certain situations, the use of cookies can involve the processing of personal data. Where that happens, we will process such data in line with applicable data protection legislation. On the other hand, where cookies are not linked to personal data, we will generally treat the information collected by cookies as non-personal data.

Aside from cookies, we also use tracking technology such as beacons, tags and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyse the use of our website.

2. Why do we use cookies?

Our website uses cookies to recognize you when you visit our website. This helps us improve our website and provide you with a better user experience when you browse our website. They can also be used to provide a more responsive and tailored service that meets your preferences.

3. What types of cookies do we use?

There are different categories of cookies depending on function. Below are some examples of the types of cookies we use:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. These are cookies required for the operation of our website.
  • Functionality Cookies. These are cookies used to recognise you when you return to our website. They also enable personalisation of content and allow us to remember your preferences.

 

Please note that the following third parties may also use cookies when you visit our website:

  • Google Analytics: Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our website. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You can opt-out of having made your activity on the service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. If you wish to learn more about how and why Google uses cookies, please visit the “Technologies” section on Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=en.
    The use of cookies by any third parties are the full and sole responsibly of such third parties.

 

4. How long are cookies stored on my device for?

The cookie’s retention period will depend on the specific cookie in question. “Session” cookies will expire and be deleted once you end your browsing session, that is, when you close your browser. “Persistent” cookies, on the other hand, are stored until a defined date, unless you delete them before their expiry date.

5. What am I accepting if I accept the cookies?

Depending on the category of the cookies, by approving the use of such cookies, you will allow us to use the corresponding information for the particular purpose of that cookie (please refer to the categories and purposes in point 3 above).

6. How can I manage the cookies?

On the first time you visit our website, a cookies banner will pop-up at the bottom of the page prompting you to review your cookies preferences, that is, whether you would like to accept the use of cookies or not. After you select your preference, this banner will no longer appear when you visit our website.

However, if you would like to manage your cookies preference, you can do so directly through your browser settings or remove previously-stored cookies by manually deleting them.

Please note that deactivating certain cookies or blocking cookies through your browser settings may impact your browsing experience on our website and the functionality of certain parts of our website.
