Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, tablet or mobile phone — when you visit it. They are stored by your browser and sent back to the website on subsequent visits. Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Related technologies such as web beacons, pixels and local storage operate similarly and may be used alongside cookies. For the purposes of this policy, references to cookies cover these related technologies unless otherwise specified.

Cookies are a standard feature of how websites work. They are not programs and cannot run code, carry viruses or access files on your device. However, they do store information, and how that information is used matters. This policy explains specifically how cookies are used on firstgtlocation.com.

How We Use Cookies

First GT Location uses cookies on this website for the following purposes:

To ensure the website functions correctly and consistently across your visit. Some features of the website require cookies to operate — without them, parts of the site would not work as intended.

To remember preferences you have set during your visit, including your choices in the cookie consent tool. This prevents the consent banner from appearing on every page you visit after you have already made a selection.

To understand, in aggregate, how visitors use this website. This helps us improve the structure, content and usability of the site over time. This type of cookie collection requires your consent.

We do not use cookies to build personal profiles for advertising purposes, to track your browsing activity across other websites, or to share data with advertising networks.

Categories of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or navigating between pages. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but parts of the website may not work if you do. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They do not require your consent under applicable law.

Preference Cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised. They do not track your browsing activity on other websites. We use these to remember your cookie consent choices. These require consent to set, except where they are necessary for the consent mechanism itself to function.

Analytics Cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors move around the website. This helps us improve how the website works. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous. Setting these cookies requires your prior consent. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Cookies on This Site

The following cookies are used on firstgtlocation.com:

This list reflects cookies currently in use. We review and update it when cookie use changes. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent review.

Third-Party Cookies

This website embeds content or uses services from third parties that may set their own cookies on your device. These include:

Google Maps: The contact page embeds a Google Maps iframe. Google may set cookies related to this embed. These are subject to Google's own privacy and cookie policies, which are available at google.com/policies/privacy. First GT Location does not control these cookies.

Google Analytics: Where analytics consent has been given, this website may use Google Analytics to collect aggregated usage data. Google's data processing terms apply. First GT Location configures Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses and does not share data with Google for advertising purposes.

We do not embed social media content or use social media tracking cookies on this website.

Your Consent

When you first visit firstgtlocation.com, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. This banner presents the categories of cookies we use and allows you to accept or decline non-essential categories individually.

Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because they are required for the website to function. All other cookie categories require your affirmative consent before they are activated.

Your consent choice is stored in the fgtl_consent cookie for 180 days. After this period, the consent banner will appear again. You can update your preferences at any time by clearing this cookie or revisiting the consent tool.

Withdrawing consent for a cookie category means that category of cookies will no longer be set. Cookies already stored on your device before withdrawal remain until they expire or are manually deleted through your browser settings.

This consent mechanism is designed to comply with Egyptian Law No. 151 of 2020 on the Protection of Personal Data, which requires informed, specific consent for non-essential data processing activities including non-essential cookies.

Managing Cookies

In addition to the consent tool on this website, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. All major browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies. The following links provide guidance for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Blocking cookies through browser settings affects all websites you visit, not just firstgtlocation.com. Some website features may stop working correctly if you block all cookies.

For mobile devices, cookie management is typically found in the privacy or security section of your browser's settings menu.

Updates to This Policy

This Cookie Policy reflects current cookie use on firstgtlocation.com. As the website develops or as we add new tools and services, cookie use may change. We update this policy when material changes occur and revise the date shown at the top of the page.

If we add new cookie categories that require consent, the consent mechanism will be updated to reflect this and a new consent prompt will appear on your next visit.
