Cookie Policy
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information about your visit. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site.
This policy explains which cookies the Gravitas platform uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.
2. Essential cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They enable core features like authentication and security. Because they are essential, they do not require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
- Session management — Maintains your active session while you use the platform
- Authentication — Keeps you securely logged in across page loads
- CSRF protection — Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks against your account
3. Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. Analytics cookies collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, and how they arrived.
Analytics cookies are only set after you provide consent via our cookie banner. All analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. IP anonymisation is enabled.
You can opt out of Google Analytics at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. How to manage cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Block third-party cookies
Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent the Gravitas platform from functioning correctly — you will be unable to log in or maintain an active session.
