This policy explains how Bill Gosling uses cookies and similar technologies on billgosling.ai. It should be read with our privacy policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
1Introduction
billgosling.ai uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) to make the site work, to understand how it is used and to remember choices you make. We keep this to the minimum the site needs. This policy describes what we use, why and how you can accept, reject or remove it.
2What are cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. It lets the site recognise your device on later visits or as you move between pages. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are first-party cookies. Cookies set by another domain, for example a provider whose service is embedded in the page, are third-party cookies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, serve the same purposes and are covered by this policy.
3Types of cookies we use
- Essential cookies. Required for the site to function: for example, to remember your cookie preferences, to keep a form working across a page load or to protect the site against abuse. These do not need consent and cannot be switched off in our banner, though you can block them in your browser.
- Performance and analytics cookies. Help us understand how visitors use the site: which pages are read, how long they take to load and where errors occur. The information is aggregated. We use it to improve the site, not to identify you.
- Functional cookies. Remember choices you make, such as a preferred language or a dismissed notice, so the site behaves the way you left it.
- Advertising or targeting cookies. Used by some sites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertising elsewhere. billgosling.ai currently sets none of this category. If that changes, this policy and the consent banner will be updated before any such cookie is set.
4Purpose
We use cookies to keep the site secure and working, to remember your preferences, to measure how the site performs and to learn which content is useful so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to sell personal information, and we do not combine cookie data with other data to build individual profiles of visitors.
5Third-party cookies
Some features of the site may rely on services provided by others, such as fonts, embedded video, analytics or a form or scheduling tool. These providers may set their own cookies, which are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We choose providers with care, limit what is embedded and, where consent is required, load their cookies only after you have given it. A current list of third-party providers is available on request at hello@billgosling.ai.
6Your consent
When you first visit billgosling.ai, a consent banner tells you that the site uses cookies and lets you accept or reject the non-essential categories. Essential cookies are set regardless because the site cannot work without them. You can change your choice at any time by clearing cookies for billgosling.ai in your browser, after which the banner will appear again on your next visit.
7Managing cookies
Most browsers let you see which cookies are set, delete some or all of them and block cookies from particular sites or from all sites. The help pages of your browser explain how. Disabling cookies may affect how the site functions: some pages may not display correctly, and preferences you have set may not be remembered. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working at all.
8Data protection and privacy
Information collected through cookies that identifies, or could identify, you is personal information and is handled under our privacy policy. We process it in line with the Information Technology Act 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules 2011, and with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, as each applies. Where you visit from a jurisdiction whose law is stricter, we apply the stricter rule.
9Updates
We may update this policy when the site changes, when we add or remove a provider or when the law requires it. The date of the current version will be shown at the top of the page once the policy is finalised. Where a change affects the consent you have given, we will ask for it again.
