1. What Are Cookies
Girdergrove, Inc. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates girdergrove.com (the "Site"). Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits and store preferences or session information.
Similar technologies include local storage (data stored in your browser's localStorage or sessionStorage), pixel tags (small images that record page visits), and fingerprinting. This policy covers all such technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
girdergrove.com uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you logged in during a session in the Girdergrove product;
- Remember your cookie-banner dismissal preference (stored in localStorage under the key
cookie-banner-dismissed-ts); - Measure anonymous site usage to understand which pages and features are most useful to project teams (analytics cookies);
- Maintain basic site security and detect abuse.
We do not use cookies to serve behavioral advertising, to build advertising profiles, or to share usage data with advertising networks.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session authentication; CSRF protection; load balancing. Required for the Service to function. Cannot be disabled. | Session or up to 30 days |
| Functional / preference | Cookie-banner dismissal timestamp (localStorage); UI state preferences. | Up to 6 months |
| Analytics | Anonymous page-view and session counts to measure site performance and content usage. No cross-site tracking. | Up to 13 months (aggregated) |
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies.
4. Third-Party Services
girdergrove.com loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) and icon assets from Font Awesome (cdnjs.cloudflare.com). These services may set their own cookies or collect limited technical information (IP address, browser type) per their own privacy policies. We do not use third-party advertising or social-media tracking pixels.
5. Consent Model
girdergrove.com operates under a notice-only cookie model. Strictly necessary and functional cookies are required for the Service to operate. Analytics cookies are activated on page load; you are informed via the cookie banner that appears on your first visit. This approach is appropriate for sites that do not engage in advertising-based tracking and whose analytics use is limited to first-party session measurement.
You can dismiss the banner at any time by clicking "Got it." Your dismissal is recorded for 6 months. To reopen the cookie notice at any time, use the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.
6. Your Choices
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Common options include:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data;
- Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data;
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data;
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.
Deleting or blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to the Girdergrove product.
7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
girdergrove.com does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals because there is no established industry standard for DNT implementation.
We do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser or browser extension sends a GPC signal (navigator.globalPrivacyControl === true), our cookie-banner script suppresses analytics initialization for your session, regardless of your banner dismissal status. Strictly necessary cookies remain active as they are required for site and product operation.
This GPC disclosure is provided in compliance with Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Section 22575.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be accompanied by an updated cookie notice on the Site.
