Cookie Policy

HGC IT Solutions uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. This policy explains what they are, how we use them, and the choices you have. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work, remember your preferences, and give site owners information about how the site is used. Similar technologies such as browser local storage and pixels work in comparable ways. We refer to all of these as cookies in this policy.

Your choices and consent

When you first visit the site you are shown a cookie banner. Only strictly necessary cookies are set by default. Analytics, functionality and marketing cookies are set only if you accept them. We use Google Consent Mode, so analytics and advertising services stay in a denied state until you give consent.

You can accept all, reject all, or choose specific categories. You can change your choices at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store information that identifies you.

• cc_cookie: stores your cookie consent choices so we do not ask again on every visit. Set by our consent tool. Expires after about 182 days.
• Security and delivery cookies may be set by our content delivery network, Cloudflare, to keep the site secure and available.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. They are set only with your consent.

• Google Analytics 4 (cookies beginning _ga, including _ga_ container cookies, and related Google Analytics cookies): measures pages viewed, visits and general usage patterns in aggregate. Provided by Google. These cookies typically expire between 24 hours and 24 months.

Functionality cookies

These cookies would remember choices you make to give you a more personalised experience. We do not currently set any functionality cookies. This section will be updated if that changes.

Marketing cookies

These cookies would be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising and to understand your interests. We do not currently set any marketing cookies. If we enable advertising tools in future, for example the LinkedIn Insight Tag, they will run only with your marketing consent and this policy will be updated to list them.

Third parties

Where you consent to analytics, data is processed by Google as our analytics provider. We do not sell your personal data. For details of how Google handles data, please see Google's own privacy resources.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for legal reasons. The date below shows when it was last reviewed.
