COOKIE POLICY

Version: March 2026

The uk.gigroup.com site (hereafter called the “Site”) uses cookies. Cookies are strings of text created by a server and stored on the device of the user (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) and then retransmitted upon subsequent accesses by the user.

Cookies allow information to be gathered about the navigation conducted by the user on the Site, for example to record language preferences and other choices that make the Site easier to use on subsequent visits.

Cookies can be stored permanently on the device of the user and can have a variable duration (so-called persistent cookies), but can also vanish upon closing the browser or have a limited duration (so-called session cookies).

Cookies can be installed from the Site being visited (so-called 1st-party cookies) or can be installed from other web sites (so-called 3rd-party cookies).

The Site uses 1st-party cookies, 3rd-party cookies and other similar technologies, as described in more detail below.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by using the cookie settings option available on the Site (or by reopening the cookie banner). You can also control cookies through your browser settings, as described below.

Analytics cookies

The Site uses Google Analytics cookies to gather information about how users navigate and use the Site, in order to produce statistical reports and help us improve performance and user experience. The information collected is used in aggregate and is not intended to directly identify individual users.

Google Analytics settings may allow certain data to be shared with Google to support features such as benchmarking, technical support and configuration assistance.

Through predefined setting, analytics cookies may use the IP address of users to provide general geographical information in reports.


Social cookies

The Site uses 3rd-party cookies that allow users to interact with social networks (Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.) and in particular to share the contents of the Site by means of those social networks.

The right to object to or refuse cookies

Typically, cookies are classified as “temporary” or “permanent”.
“Temporary” cookies do not stay on the device after leaving the Site or after closing the browser.

The Site uses “temporary” cookies. The aggregate information collected enables the traffic models of the Site to be analysed. In this way it is possible to improve the Site by modifying it or by personalising its contents and thereby making it easier to use.

The Site also uses “permanent” cookies that, by virtue of their nature, remain on the devices of visitors to be retransmitted to the Site upon the next visit of the users themselves. These cookies enable the Site to be navigated and its functions to be personalised, keeping a record of the services requested and the pages visited on previous sessions.

“Permanent” cookies are stored on the device of the user for a period that varies depending on the cookie. The user can remove cookies manually.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies in a predefined manner. However, if the preferences of the browser are set in an appropriate way, it is possible to refuse them or accept them selectively.

The procedures offered by the main browsers to manage cookies, including disabling or selectively accepting them, are shown below:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

After this operation, however, some functions of the web pages might not be performed correctly.

For information on the use of cookies by Facebook, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn, please consult the relevant provider sites.
