Last updated: March 6, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Groupwide uses cookies and similar technologies, what categories we use, and how you can control your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can be first-party cookies (set by Groupwide) or third-party cookies (set by integrated services).
2. Cookie Categories We Use
- Strictly Necessary: Required for core features like authentication, security protections, and session continuity.
- Functional: Remember preferences to improve the user experience.
- Analytics: Help us understand usage patterns and service performance.
- Marketing: Used to evaluate campaign relevance and effectiveness where applicable.
3. Current Cookie and Storage Usage
| Name / Pattern | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| groupwide_cookie_consent | Strictly Necessary | Stores your cookie preference choices. | 180 days |
| groupwide_cookie_consent_v1 (local storage) | Strictly Necessary | Mirrors cookie preferences on the client for faster rendering. | Until cleared |
| sb-* (Supabase auth/session cookies) | Strictly Necessary | Maintains authenticated sessions and related security controls. | Session / provider-managed |
Cookie names from integrated providers may vary by deployment and infrastructure configuration.
4. Legal Basis for Optional Cookies
Where required by law (including GDPR and UK data protection rules), we only use optional non-essential cookies based on your consent. You can grant, refuse, or withdraw consent at any time.
5. Managing Your Preferences
- Use the cookie banner controls to accept all, reject non-essential, or configure categories.
- Use the cookie icon on the homepage to review or change your choices after saving.
- If no option is selected within 30 seconds, or you navigate to another page while the banner is open, we store a necessary-only preference to prevent repeated interruptions.
- You can also clear browser cookies/local storage from your browser settings.
6. Third-Party Services
Some functionality may rely on third-party infrastructure (for example authentication and hosting providers). Those services may set strictly necessary technical cookies required to deliver secure access and service continuity.
7. Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or service design. The last updated date above indicates when this policy was last revised.
