Cookie Policy

Last updated: 14 October 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners. GlassInformer uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g. local storage) in line with this policy.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Essential operation: Enable core features such as logging in, session management, security, and load balancing.
  • Preferences: Remember your settings (e.g. language, consent choices) so you do not have to set them again.
  • Analytics and performance: Understand how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are most viewed, how long users stay) so we can improve content and usability.
  • Advertising (if applicable): Where we show ads or work with partners, cookies may be used to deliver relevant ads and measure their effectiveness. We will only use such cookies in line with your consent where required by law.

3. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to function (e.g. authentication, security, remembering your cookie preferences). They do not require your consent in many jurisdictions but you can block them via your browser (some features may then not work).

Functional / preference cookies

These remember choices you make (e.g. layout, language) to improve your experience. They are usually based on your consent or our legitimate interest in providing a consistent service.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how the site is used (e.g. number of visitors, popular pages). We may use first-party analytics or third-party tools; where these are not strictly necessary, we seek your consent where required.

Marketing / advertising cookies

If we use advertising or marketing cookies (including from third parties), they are used to show relevant ads and measure campaigns. We will only activate these with your consent where the law requires it.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use (e.g. analytics, embedded content, or advertising partners). Their use is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing those policies and, where possible, managing your preferences via our cookie banner or your browser settings.

5. How long cookies last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g. days, months) or until you delete them. The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie; we keep cookie-related data only as long as necessary for those purposes or as required by law.

6. Managing and disabling cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Cookie banner / consent tool: When you first visit GlassInformer, you may be asked to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time via the link in the footer or in your account/settings if available.
  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Check your browser's "Help" or "Settings" for options. Blocking all cookies may affect how the site works.

Disabling certain cookies may limit features such as staying logged in, personalised content, or analytics that help us improve the site.

7. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised when we do. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
