Effective Date: Immediately upon publication
Welcome to G & D Consortium. This Cookies Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.ganddconsortium.com. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, the types we use, and how you can manage or disable them.
Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to maintaining transparency in how we collect and use your data.
1. Understanding Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, enhance user experience, and provide insights to website owners about how their sites are being used.
Cookies do not typically contain personal information that identifies you directly; however, some may be linked to your personal data if you provide such information through our website (for instance, via contact or career forms).
There are two main types of cookies:
· Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted once you close your browser.
· Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a specified duration or until you delete them manually.
We use both types to ensure that our website works efficiently and delivers a seamless browsing experience.
2. Why We Use Cookies
At G & D Consortium, cookies help us in several ways:
1. To improve website functionality: Cookies allow our website to remember your preferences and settings, such as language selection or form inputs.
2. To analyze website performance: Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our pages, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate through our content.
3. To enhance user experience: By collecting anonymized data, we can refine our site’s layout, content, and usability.
4. To personalize communication: Certain cookies enable us to show relevant messages or information about our projects, services, or CSR initiatives.
5. To maintain website security: Cookies help detect and prevent potential security threats or unauthorized access.

These cookies help us understand visitor patterns and enhance the user journey.
c. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our website to remember your choices and preferences, such as:

They personalize your browsing experience and reduce the need to re-enter information each time you visit.
d. Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Occasionally, we may use these cookies to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests. While we do not currently serve advertisements directly, these cookies may come into play through third-party integrations that help us share CSR news, service updates, or project showcases across social platforms.
