Cookie policy
Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store things like user preferences.
A visit to a page on a Gentian website may generate several types of cookies.
Some cookies are required for visitors to be able to log in to our sites and for our site to function. These cookies cannot be switched off in our systems and are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies. Please note that if you block these types of cookies, you may not be able to use all of the functions of our site.
Consent to Cookies.
We will ask for your consent to store certain types of cookies on your browser. These include:
- anonymous analytics cookies.
- advertising cookies.
- performance cookies.
We have explained how each of these cookies operate in more detail below. You can withdraw your consent to these cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the functions of our site.
Anonymous analytics cookies.
Every time someone visits our website, software provided by another organisation generates an “anonymous analytics cookie”.
These cookies can tell us whether you have visited the site before. Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies and, if you don’t, we generate new ones.
This allows us to track how many individual users we have, and how often they visit the site.
Unless you are registered with Gentian, we cannot use these cookies to identify individuals. We use them to gather statistics, for example, the number of visits to a page. If you are logged in, we will also know the details you gave to us for this, such as your username and email address.
Advertising cookies.
These cookies allow us to know whether you’ve seen an advert or a type of advert, and how long it is since you’ve seen it. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. Those companies may use them to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Performance cookies.
This type of cookie is used to improve your experience, for example, our load balancer, which improves site speed, will use cookies to ensure your visit is not disrupted. These cookies may be set by us or third-party providers. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all parts of the site may not function properly.
