Last updated: 2026-04-02
This Policy explains how GatePass uses cookies and similar technologies across our website, dashboards, and checkout (collectively, the “Services”). For how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Policy.

- We use preferences to remember settings like timezone.
- You can control cookies via your browser and (where available) our consent banner.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites function, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the Services. We may also use web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies (“cookies” collectively).
2. Types of cookies we use
- Essential (required): Needed to operate the Services—e.g., session, CSRF protection, authentication. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Preferences: Remember choices (e.g., timezone, UI settings) to personalize your experience.
- Analytics: Help us measure traffic and usage patterns to improve reliability and design.
- Marketing (if enabled): Used to measure campaign performance; not used to sell personal data.

5. Managing your cookie choices
You can control cookies via your browser settings—typically found under Privacy or Security. Blocking certain cookies (especially essential ones) may impact site functionality.

- Where available, use our in-product consent banner to adjust non-essential cookies.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use (e.g., payment processors, analytics, email delivery). These providers have their own privacy/cookie policies governing their use.
