GauthExpert Cookies Policy

Last updated: August 6, 2021

Welcome to GauthExpert (the "Platform") and our website, services, applications, products and content (that include but are not limited to the Platform) (collectively, the "Services").

We use cookies and other similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, flash cookies, etc.) (“Cookies”) to operate the Platform, enable us to provide certain features and functionality, and enhance your experience using the Platform.

1. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that uniquely identify your browser or device. The Cookie is stored on your browser by websites or apps that you visit. When you return to that website or app (or visit websites or apps that use the same cookies) these platforms recognize the Cookies and your browsing device. For a more thorough explanation of what Cookies are and how they work, please visit the EU Guide to Cookies, aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org.

Web beacons are electronic images (also called single-pixel or clear GIFs) that are contained within a website. When your browser opens a webpage that contains a web beacon, it automatically connects to the web server that hosts the image (typically hosted by a third-party). This allows that web server to log information about your device and to set and read its own cookies.

2. Categories of cookies

Cookies do many different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies can tell us, for example, whether you have visited the Platform before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

There are different categories of cookies, including:

• First-party cookies: First party cookies are small amounts of text which are served by us directly to your device.
• Third-party Cookies: Third-party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf. We use third party cookies for functionality and performance.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are 'session cookies', meaning that they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are 'permanent cookies', meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by the Platform to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

3. What types of cookies do we use and how do we use them?

We use Cookies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary Cookies: These are Cookies that are essential to provide you with the Platform and any Services and to use some of its features, such as to enable you to log into secure areas of the Platform.
• Google Firebase Cloud Messaging: We use Google Firebase Cloud Messaging to collect Instance IDs to determine which device to send a message to. For further information on how Google Google Firebase Cloud Messaging collects and processes information about you, please click https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4. How to delete cookies

• Strictly necessary Cookies: As explained above, strictly necessary Cookies are essential for the operation of our Platform and Service and cannot be declined. Some of these Cookies have a maximum duration of 12 months.
• Google Firebase Cloud Messaging: You can opt out of Google Firebase Cloud Messaging through your system settings. You should know that deleting Cookies means the related functionality on our Platform will be lost. For more information on how to manage the most popular browsers, please see below:

We will occasionally update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, Platform and Services. When we post changes to this policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.
