Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 5 April 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Gridlumen uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It covers the categories of cookies we employ, their purposes, and how you can control your preferences.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help us enhance navigation, secure our services, and understand how users interact with our pages.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for website operation. These include session cookies that maintain navigation states and Cloudflare cookies that provide security and load balancing.
  • Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences (such as cookie consent status) to make subsequent visits smoother.
  • Analytics Cookies: Used occasionally to collect aggregated insights on page visits and interactions. We only activate analytics cookies after obtaining your consent.

3. Cloudflare Cookies

We use Cloudflare to secure our website against malicious traffic. Cloudflare may set cookies like “__cf_bm” or “CFID” to distinguish genuine visitors from bots and to maintain performance. These cookies are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled without compromising security.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You can control non-essential cookies using the banner displayed on your first visit. Browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

  • Review preferences via our banner or adjust browser settings.
  • For mobile devices, manage cookies through the device’s privacy controls.
  • To learn more, visit resources such as AboutCookies.org.

5. Duration of Cookies

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they naturally expire or you delete them. Cloudflare cookies typically last up to 30 minutes, while functional preference cookies may last up to 12 months.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect new technologies or legal requirements. Changes take effect once published here.
