1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how GLOBAL SOLUTION IN CODE S.R.L. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

This Policy aims to inform you about:

  • what cookies are,
  • the types of cookies we use,
  • how they help us improve your experience,
  • your rights and choices regarding cookie management.

We are committed to complying with applicable cookie legislation, including the EU ePrivacy Directive, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) where relevant.

By continuing to use our website after seeing the cookie notice banner, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy, unless you have disabled them through your browser settings or our cookie management tool (if applicable).

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, enhance user experience, and provide analytical or marketing insights.

Cookies may be:

  • Session cookies – which expire once you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies – which remain stored for a defined period.
  • First-party cookies – set directly by the website you are visiting.
  • Third-party cookies – set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.

Cookies do not typically contain personal data but may be linked to information stored elsewhere.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

On our website, we use only a limited and essential set of cookies that fall into the following categories:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the basic functioning of the website, such as enabling page navigation, securing payment transactions, and remembering cookie preferences. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

  • Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember user preferences and choices (e.g., language selection) to provide a more personalised experience.

  • Payment Integration Cookies (Stripe)

These cookies are set by Stripe to enable secure processing of online payments. They help prevent fraud and ensure the transaction process functions correctly.

We do not currently use any advertising, tracking, or behavioural profiling cookies.

4. Purposes of Cookies

Cookies used on our website serve multiple specific purposes that are essential for a smooth and secure browsing and purchasing experience:

4.1 Website Operation and Navigation

Cookies ensure that core website functions work correctly — such as loading pages, maintaining secure connections, and enabling the checkout process for digital product purchases.

4.2 Security and Fraud Prevention

Certain cookies (e.g., those used by Stripe) monitor suspicious activity and help prevent fraud during transactions. They ensure that payments are processed safely and that user data is not compromised.

4.3 User Preference Retention

Cookies allow us to remember your settings — for example, your cookie consent choices, language preference, or whether you have dismissed certain banners. This helps us avoid showing you the same prompts repeatedly and improves usability.

4.4 Session Stability and Technical Diagnostics

Some cookies help maintain session stability, diagnose technical errors, and provide analytics on page performance without tracking personal behaviour. This allows us to identify and resolve problems and improve the site’s efficiency.

We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising or profiling.
