Magnum GSICookie Policy
Effective Date: 31 October 2026 | Last Reviewed: 1 November 2026
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies magnumgsi.com uses, why, and how you can control them. It applies to this website only. Our other site, geoscreen.uk, is also operated by Magnum GSI Ltd and has its own cookie and privacy policies.
1. Our approach
This website uses strictly necessary cookies only. We do not use advertising, tracking or social-media cookies, and we do not ask for consent because nothing that requires consent runs on the site. The short notice shown on your first visit is for information; dismissing it stores one preference in your browser’s local storage (not a cookie) so that it is not shown again.
2. Cookies and storage we use
| Name | Purpose | Set by | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| mg_cookie_notice (local storage) | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice | This site | Until you clear your browser data |
| wordpress_test_cookie, wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-* | Sign-in and editor preferences, set only for staff who log in to administer the site | WordPress | Session to one year |
| cmplz_* | Consent-preference cookies from the Complianz plugin. No longer set for visitors since 1 November 2026; any left from an earlier visit are harmless and expire | Complianz | Up to 365 days |
3. Analytics
We count visits with Plausible Analytics (Plausible Insights OU, Estonia, EU). Plausible sets no cookies, stores no personal data and does not follow you across websites. It records aggregate figures such as page views, referring sites, country and device type, derived from a one-way hash that is discarded every day. Details are at plausible.io/data-policy.
4. Requests to other services
The typeface used on this site is served from our own server, so no font request goes to Google or any other third party. Staff who are signed in may load profile images from Gravatar. We do not embed video, maps or social-media content, and the LinkedIn link in the footer is a plain link.
5. Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings; the Help pages of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari explain how. This website works without cookies. Only the administration area, used by our staff, needs them.
6. Changes to this policy
We will update this page if the cookies or services used change, and we review it at least once a year. The dates at the top of the page show when it was last changed and reviewed.
