⚠️ DRAFT — review with legal counsel and verify the actual cookies set in production before publishing.
Last updated: [LAST_UPDATED]
This notice explains how goliath.technology uses cookies and similar technologies. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, keep you signed in (we don't have logins), measure how a site is used, or deliver advertising (we don't run advertising).
We also use similar technologies — for example, localStorage to remember whether you have dismissed a cookie banner — which we treat under this notice on the same footing as cookies.
2. The cookies we use
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
gt_session | Strictly necessary | Maintains your session if you start a conversation with the intake agent | Until browser closed |
gt_consent | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie consent choice | 12 months |
_pa (or equivalent from [ANALYTICS_PROVIDER]) | Analytics | Counts unique visitors, page views, broad device/region categories. Aggregated and non-identifying. | 30 days |
gt_intake_ref | Functional | Remembers a partial conversation if you accidentally close the chat panel and return within the same session | Until browser closed |
We do not use:
- Advertising cookies
- Cross-site tracking pixels
- Social media tracking
- Marketing automation tags
If we change which cookies we use, we will update this notice and re-prompt consent for non-strictly-necessary cookies.
3. Your choices
When you first visit the site, you will see a banner asking for consent to non-strictly-necessary cookies. You can:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject non-strictly-necessary cookies (analytics, functional)
- Customise your choices
You can change your mind at any time by reopening the cookie banner from the footer link "Cookie preferences".
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function (e.g. to remember your consent choice itself). You cannot opt out of these, but they do not identify you.
4. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies entirely or notify you when one is set. Doing so may break parts of the site, including the intake chat. See your browser's privacy documentation:
- Chrome → Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Safari → Preferences → Privacy
- Firefox → Settings → Privacy & Security
- Edge → Settings → Cookies and site permissions
5. Third-party cookies
The analytics provider ([ANALYTICS_PROVIDER]) may set its own cookies on its subdomain. See its policy at the URL it publishes.
If we add an embedded service in the future (e.g. a video, a booking widget), we will add its cookies to the table above and re-prompt consent.
