Last updated: June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on Gigalyx.com (the “Site”), and how you can control them. Gigalyx.com is an English-language blog dedicated to Environmental Management Standards (EMS), including ISO 14001, EMAS, and sustainability best practices.
By continuing to browse or use our Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please disable cookies as outlined below or stop using the Site.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, and display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you return or navigate from page to page. Cookies also help us understand how you interact with our content and enable certain features.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on Gigalyx.com:
- Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies: These cookies are required for the basic functioning of the Site. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate properly. Examples include session cookies that keep you logged in (if applicable) and cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences.
- Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies (e.g., from Google Analytics) to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Site. This helps us improve content, understand which articles are most popular, and monitor traffic patterns. These cookies do not identify you personally; they aggregate data such as page views, referral sources, and time spent on the Site.
- Advertising Cookies: We partner with third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense, to display relevant advertisements on our Site. Advertising cookies are used to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing history across different websites. This allows us (and our ad partners) to show you ads that are more relevant to you, measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns, and limit the number of times you see the same ad. Google AdSense uses cookies such as the “Google Ad ID” to personalize ads and track conversions.
3. How Third-Party Ad Partners Use Cookies
We use Google AdSense and other third-party ad providers to serve ads on Gigalyx.com. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect data about your visits to this and other websites. This data is used to:
- Deliver advertisements that are tailored to your interests (interest-based advertising).
- Measure the performance and reach of ad campaigns.
- Prevent you from seeing the same ad too often.
For example, Google AdSense uses the “DoubleClick” cookie to enable ad personalization. You can learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising at Google’s Advertising & Privacy page.
4. How to Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your preferences in the following ways:
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their preferences or options menus. You can typically block or delete cookies entirely, or configure your browser to alert you when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. Instructions for popular browsers:
- Ad Personalization Opt-Out: You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google AdSense by visiting Google’s Ad Settings. Additionally, you can opt out of interest-based advertising from many third-party ad networks through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out tool.
- Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit Gigalyx.com, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising). You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the Site.
5. Privacy Policy
For more detailed information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains your rights under applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, and how we handle data beyond cookies.
