Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or the fact that you have visited before.

Cookies are widely used across the web. They are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They are simply data files that your browser stores and sends back to the website when you return.

Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which work similarly to cookies but are stored differently in your browser. This policy covers cookies and these similar technologies collectively.

Types We Use

This website uses a limited number of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cookies that follow you across other websites. Our cookie use falls into two categories: necessary cookies and optional analytics cookies.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking. The cookie footprint of this website is intentionally minimal.

Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tool without affecting website functionality.

This cookie is set by our own cookie consent system. It records whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies. No personal information is stored in this cookie — it contains only a record of your consent choice.

Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use this website. Analytics data helps us understand which pages are most visited, how people navigate the site, and where visitors come from. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the website.

Analytics cookies do not identify you personally. They collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic region (country level). If you decline analytics cookies through our consent tool, no analytics cookies will be set.

You can change your analytics cookie preference at any time by clicking "Manage Cookies" in the website footer or by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.

Cookie Duration

Cookies may be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain continuity during a single visit.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after your visit. The jgi_consent cookie is a persistent cookie that lasts 365 days.

You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, regardless of their set duration.

Managing Consent

When you first visit this website, a cookie consent banner appears at the top of the page. You can accept all cookies, decline optional cookies, or open the preferences panel to make granular choices about cookie categories.

Your preference is stored in the jgi_consent cookie. If you want to change your preference, you can clear your browser cookies and revisit the site, or contact us and we will provide guidance.

Accepting or declining cookies does not affect your ability to use the informational content of this website. Declining optional cookies means we will not set analytics cookies during your visit.

Browser Controls

All major browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You can typically find these settings in the privacy or security section of your browser preferences. Options generally include:

• Viewing what cookies are currently stored
• Deleting individual cookies or all cookies
• Blocking cookies from specific websites
• Blocking all third-party cookies
• Setting the browser to notify you when a cookie is set

Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including the cookie consent preference on this site.

Third-Party Cookies

This website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the contact page. Google may set cookies when you interact with the map. These cookies are set by Google, not by us, and are subject to Google's own privacy and cookie policies. You can review Google's policies at google.com/policies/privacy.

We do not embed social media widgets, advertising networks, or other third-party services that set cookies without your knowledge. The Google Maps embed is the only third-party element on this site that may set cookies.

US Regulatory Context

The United States does not have a single comprehensive federal cookie law. Cookie-related obligations for US-based websites arise primarily from the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which addresses the use of tracking technologies and the right to opt out of certain data uses.

Because we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, the CCPA/CPRA opt-out requirements related to "sale" and "sharing" do not apply to our cookie use. We nonetheless provide cookie consent controls as a matter of transparency and good practice.

If you are a California resident and have questions about how cookies relate to your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, contact us at [email protected].

Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our cookie use or applicable law. When we make changes, we update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If changes are material, we may display a notice on the website.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
