Cookie Policy

Last updated:

This Cookie Policy explains how GIMS ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you use our application. By continuing to use GIMS, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or web application. They help websites function efficiently and provide information to site owners.

GIMS also uses browser storage and session tokens to provide a secure and personalized experience.

3. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit GIMS, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You have two choices:

Accept All: Enables essential, functional, and analytics cookies.
Essential Only: Only strictly necessary cookies. Analytics are disabled.

Resetting Your Preference

To change your cookie preference after you've already made a choice:

Open your browser's Developer Tools (usually F12).
Go to Application tab → Local Storage.
Delete the gims_cookie_consent entry.
Refresh the page — the cookie consent banner will reappear.

Browser-Level Controls

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings:

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Note: Blocking essential cookies may prevent GIMS from functioning correctly.

4. Third-Party Cookies

GIMS does not sell your data to third parties. We use trusted cloud services for authentication, data storage, analytics, and hosting. Payment processing is handled by a certified payment gateway (only during subscription checkout).

These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
