This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our websites and within the Gradum SaaS platform (the Service). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
The Service is offered B2B only. Nevertheless, where consent is required by law (e.g., the EU/EEA/UK under the ePrivacy regime), we will obtain it before setting nonâessential cookies.
1) What are cookies and similar technologies?
- Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They may be session (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (stored until they expire or you delete them).
- Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, SDKs, and serverâside tracking that achieves comparable purposes.
2) How we use cookies
We group cookies and similar technologies into these categories:
- Strictly necessary (essential): required to operate the Service (e.g., authentication, load balancing, security). These do not require consent. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract necessity) and legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Functional: remember choices (e.g., language, preferences) and improve your experience. Where required by law, set only with consent. Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).
- Analytics: measure usage and performance to help us improve the Service (e.g., error rates, feature adoption). Where required by law, set only with consent. Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) or legitimate interests where local law permits and we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., IP truncation).
- Advertising/retargeting (if enabled): deliver and measure ads across sites. We do not use advertising cookies by default. If we enable them in the future, we will request consent and update this Policy.
Note: An upâtoâdate list of cookies and vendors is available in the inâproduct Cookie Settings panel (the "Manage cookies" link in the footer). Thirdâparty cookies are controlled by the respective third parties; please review their privacy notices.
3) Specific technologies we may use
Below are typical examples. Exact names and lifetimes may vary by browser and platform and are listed in the Cookie Settings panel.
| Category | Example names | Purpose | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | gradum_session, __cf_bm (if using Cloudflare), CSRF token | Authentication, session integrity, bot mitigation, security | Session to 1 year |
| Functional | locale, ui_prefs | Save language and UI choices | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | ga, ga_* (if Google Analytics enabled), serverâside event IDs | Usage metrics, product analytics, error diagnosis | 1â13 months |
| Payments | Stripe cookies (e.g., __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) | Fraud prevention and secure payment processing | Up to 1 year |
Payments. Card payments are processed by Stripe, which may set its own cookies for fraud prevention and to remember your device. Stripe acts as an independent controller for those cookies.
4) Your choices
- Consent banner & preferences. On your first visit (and periodically thereafter), we present a consent banner. You can Accept all, Reject nonâessential, or Customize. You can change your choices any time via Manage cookies in the footer.
- Browser settings. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Blocking essential cookies may impair the Service.
- Analytics optâout. If we use analytics vendors, we honor your choices in the Cookie Settings panel. Where available, we enable privacy features such as IP truncation and event sampling.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where legally required, we treat a valid GPC signal as an optâout from nonâessential cookies.
5) Legal bases
- Essential cookies: contract necessity and our legitimate interests in providing a secure, reliable Service.
- Nonâessential cookies: your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time in Manage cookies.
6) Retention and consent lifespan
- Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose and vendor. We aim to keep nonâessential cookies for no longer than 13 months in the EEA/UK.
- Your consent choice is remembered for up to 6â12 months (depending on jurisdiction), after which we will reâprompt.
7) International transfers
Where cookie data involves transfers outside the EEA/UK/Switzerland, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) and implement appropriate safeguards.
8) Thirdâparty responsibility
We are not responsible for thirdâparty cookie practices once you leave our domain or interact with thirdâparty content. Please review the privacy/cookie notices of those providers.
9) Updates to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. Material changes will be communicated via the Service or by email. The Effective date at the top shows when this Policy last changed.
