1. About this policy
This policy explains how Gordon & Bridge uses cookies and similar technologies on www.gordonandbridge.com. It should be read with the Privacy Notice. The website operator is Dr Marilisa Conese, trading as Gordon & Bridge, of via Macchie 31/8, 70128 Bari, Italy. Questions may be sent to info@gordonandbridge.com
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on or read from a device when a website is used. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits and device identifiers. In this policy, “cookies” includes these technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
3. Categories used
| Category | Purpose | Consent position |
| Strictly necessary | Enable core functions requested by the user, security, network management, consent recording and basic operation. | May be used without consent where the legal exemption applies; cannot be switched off through the consent tool. |
| Preferences or functionality | Remember optional choices or enhance convenience. | Used only with consent unless strictly necessary for a function expressly requested. |
| Analytics or measurement | Understand visits, performance and use of the website. | Used only with consent unless configured so that a specific legal exemption clearly applies; Gordon & Bridge’s default is consent-first. |
| Marketing or profiling | Measure campaigns, build profiles, personalise advertising or track users across services. | Used only with prior consent. |
| Embedded third-party content | Display media or social content; the provider may place or read cookies. | Blocked until consent where the embedded service uses non-essential technologies. |
4. Your choices
- On the first visit, the banner should offer equally clear options to accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage choices by category.
- Rejecting or closing the banner must leave non-essential technologies disabled.
- Consent must be specific, informed, freely given and indicated by an affirmative action; continued browsing is not consent.
- You can change or withdraw consent at any time through the persistent “Cookie settings” link in the website footer. Withdrawal must be as easy as giving consent.
- The website may ask again after a material change or after the legally appropriate interval. It should not repeatedly prompt a user who has refused unless circumstances justify it.
Browser controls can also block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect website functions. Browser controls do not replace the website’s obligation to obtain any required consent.

Gordon & Bridge does not control a third party’s subsequent use of data, but remains responsible for selecting and configuring its website technologies lawfully.
