1. Purpose of this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar website technologies may be used in connection with cgklegal.com. It distinguishes functions that are necessary for operation of the site from optional analytics or marketing categories and explains the choices available to visitors.
The policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which addresses personal information more broadly. This page does not name a technology provider that has not been identified for the website and does not assume that every optional category is active at all times.
2. What cookies and similar technologies do
Cookies are small pieces of information that a website or related service can ask a browser to retain and return during later interactions. Similar technologies can perform comparable functions, such as remembering a preference, supporting security, measuring how a page is used or recording whether an advertising interaction resulted in a visit.
The privacy impact of a technology depends on what information it handles, why it is used, how long it is retained, whether information is combined across services and whether a third party receives it. For this reason, the site separates necessary functions from optional categories rather than treating all cookies as equivalent.
3. Necessary technologies
Necessary technologies support functions required for the website to operate or to respect a choice made by the visitor. They may be used for basic navigation, security-related functionality, form operation or retention of a cookie preference. These functions are not intended to create an advertising profile or to measure behaviour for an unrelated purpose.
Necessary technologies should be limited to what is reasonably required for their function. Because the site may need them to operate or remember the visitor’s stated preference, they can remain active when optional analytics or marketing categories are declined.
4. Analytics technologies
Where analytics functionality is enabled, analytics technologies may help understand aggregated website use, such as which pages are visited, how visitors move between sections, whether a page loads correctly or whether visitors encounter a recurring usability problem. The intended purpose is to understand and improve website performance.
Analytics should not be treated as necessary merely because measurement is useful. Where consent is required, analytics technologies should remain optional. If no analytics service is enabled, the description of this category does not by itself mean that analytics information is being collected.
5. Marketing and advertising measurement
Where marketing or advertising measurement technology is enabled, it may help measure campaign interactions, understand whether an advertising visit reached the website or manage advertising-related frequency and attribution. Such functions can involve identifiers or information about interactions with the website.
Optional marketing technologies should be activated only in accordance with the visitor choices and applicable requirements. A visitor who selects the essential-only option should not be required to accept optional advertising measurement simply to read the ordinary informational content of the website.
6. Third-party technologies
Some optional functions can be provided by third parties rather than directly by the website operator. A third-party provider can have its own privacy notice, retention period, security practices and rules concerning how information is handled. Where a specific provider is actually enabled, visitors should be able to review the information relevant to that provider where appropriate.
No provider is named here unless its use has been identified for this website. This avoids creating a false impression that a particular analytics, advertising or social-media service is active when that information has not been supplied.
7. Consent and visitor choice
The site presents a cookie preference interface that allows a visitor to choose essential-only operation or accept optional categories where available. The choice should be presented in a way that distinguishes required functionality from optional measurement or marketing use rather than bundling every category together as if it were necessary.
Where consent is relied on, the visitor should be able to understand the relevant purpose before making a choice. A later decision to restrict optional technologies should apply to future use subject to reasonable technical and legal limitations. The visitor can also use browser controls to block or remove stored information.
8. Retention
Retention should be proportionate to the function of the technology. A necessary preference should not be retained longer than reasonably useful for that function. Optional analytics or marketing retention, where such technologies are enabled, depends on the actual technology and should be assessed against the purpose for which the information is used.
Removing stored information through browser controls may cause the website to request a preference again on a later visit. Retention periods associated with a third-party technology, if one is enabled, can be governed by that provider’s active configuration and privacy information.
9. Browser controls and practical effects
Most browsers provide controls that can restrict, block or delete cookies and other site data. The location and wording of these controls vary by browser. A visitor can use them in addition to the choices presented on the website.
Blocking all site storage can affect functions that depend on necessary technologies, such as retaining a choice or supporting part of a form flow. Declining optional categories should not, by itself, prevent ordinary access to the main informational content about expeditions, routes, services, gallery material or company information.
10. Relationship with personal information
Information connected with cookies or tracking can become personal information where it relates to an identifiable individual or is combined with other information in a way that makes identification reasonably possible. For that reason, optional tracking and advertising-related technologies require careful attention to transparency, purpose and meaningful choice.
The Privacy Policy explains the broader approach to collection, consent, limiting use and disclosure, retention, safeguards, access and correction. This Cookie Policy focuses on the narrower issue of browser-based and similar website technologies.
11. Changes to technologies or purposes
The technologies used by a website can change over time as functions are added, removed or replaced. If a material change introduces a new optional purpose or materially changes the way information is handled, the published policy and visitor choice mechanism should be reviewed so the new practice is explained appropriately.
A policy description should not be used to justify an optional technology that is materially different from what a visitor was told when making a choice. Where new consent is required for a new purpose, that issue should be addressed before the new optional use is relied on.
