Effective Date: 06/05/2022

This cookie notice (“Notice”) explains how G.Network Communications Ltd (“G.Network”, “we”, “us”) uses “cookies” or similar technologies on our website www.g.network (“Website”).

For information about how we collect, use and share personal data in the course of our business activities, please see our Privacy Notice.

This Notice may be updated from time to time. We therefore advise you to consult it on a regular basis. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the Notice was last updated.

For queries in relation to this Notice, we can be contacted at support@g.network or by post at 5 Swallow Place, Swallow Place, London, England, W1B 2AF.

What are cookies?

We may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a “cookie”. A cookie is a small text file that’s passed to your computer’s hard disk through your web browser, so the website remembers who you are when you return. Cookies are widely used to make websites work (our Website won’t work without some of the cookies we use) or work more efficiently. They also provide useful information to website owners.

Essential and non-essential cookies

Cookies that are strictly necessary for our Website to work are called “essential” cookies. These are placed when you land on the relevant page on the Website, and the law states that we do not need your consent to place these.

However, all other cookies are known as “non-essential” cookies. We will only place non-essential cookies where you have given us your consent (e.g. by clicking "Allow all cookies" or "Allow selection" on our cookie banner).

Session and persistent cookies

Cookies can also be categorised as follows:

The first type is known as a “session-based” cookie and is allocated to your computer only for the duration of your visit to our Website. It helps you to move around the Website faster. This cookie automatically expires when you close down your browser.
The second type is a “persistent” cookie. These cookies store information between visits. For example, if you select the ‘Remember me on this computer’ box, your username and password are saved in a cookie on your computer. This means that the next time you log on to our Website using that computer you won’t need to re-enter those details. We suggest you don’t select the ‘Remember me’ box if you use a shared computer (for example, if you access the internet at a cafe, or at a shared or publicly available computer). The cookie file itself won’t store your personal information.

The cookies placed by our Website are set out (and categorised) on the Cookiebot cookie banner (see below).

Google Analytics and Adsense cookies

With your consent, G.Network uses Google Analytics to track use of our Website. This helps us see how our Website is used by those who visit it. Google Analytics uses cookies to gather information about our visitors, such as which website you came from and which website you move on to afterwards. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our Website, compile reports on this and provide other services relating to website activity. Information collected in this way is anonymous and individuals can’t be traced.

This information allows us to improve our Website and our services, for example, to measure the effect or success of our advertising campaigns and products. The information generated by the Google Analytics cookie about your use of our Website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to others, where they’re required to do this by law, or where these others process the information on Google’s behalf. Google undertakes not to associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

For more information about Google Analytics, please see their privacy policy at: www.google.com/policies/privacy.

G.Network may also use Google Adsense to place adverts about G.Network products on other websites and manage referrals from those websites to our Website. If you arrived at our Website via one of those other websites, Adsense uses cookies to gather statistics about this.

Consent to place cookies

We use Cookiebot to obtain and manage consents for placing cookies. When you land on our Website, Cookiebot will present you with a cookie banner, asking for your permission for the Website to place non-essential cookies. We will only place such cookies when you have expressly given your consent for this. You can at any time change or withdraw your consent for our Website to place cookies via Cookiebot. To do so, please use the links at the foot of this Notice.

You could also check your browser manufacturer’s instructions by clicking “Help” in your browser menu for information on how to block all cookies. However, if you block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or certain parts of our Website. Unless you’ve set your browser to refuse cookies, our system will issue essential cookies as soon you visit our Website.

If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, you should check the instructions for your file management software to locate the file or directory that stores cookies.
