OGSO Cookie Policy
Last updated October 12, 2026We use a small number of cookies to make the website work and to understand how people use it.
Cookies that are not strictly necessary stay off until you say yes. You can refuse them with one click, and you can change your mind at any time.
We do not sell your personal data.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves in your browser. It lets the website recognize your device on your next page or your next visit, for example to remember a choice you made. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, do the same job and are covered by this policy as well.
First-party cookies are set by OGSO. Third-party cookies are set by other companies whose services we use, such as analytics or security tools.
The cookies we use, by purpose
Protect our contact and enquiry forms from spam, keep the website secure and remember your cookie choice. The website cannot work without them, so they do not need consent.
Show us which pages are visited and how people find us, so we can improve the website and our products.
Used to measure advertising or show relevant ads. We only use these if a marketing tool is active on the website.

Your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies, with equal ease. We do not pre-tick boxes, and refusing does not stop you from using the website or contacting us. You can review or withdraw your choice at any time, as often as you like:
We could not reset your choice automatically. Please clear this site's data in your browser settings, or contact us.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings (see your browser's help pages). If you block all cookies, some parts of the website, such as forms, may stop working.
Legal basis
We set essential cookies because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you request. All other cookies are set only with your prior consent. This follows the ePrivacy Directive and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Art. 6(1)(a). We keep a record of your consent choice so that we can respect it, and we ask you again after a reasonable period or when our cookies change significantly.
Data shared with third parties
Data collected through analytics cookies may be processed by Google. Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we rely on safeguards recognised under the GDPR, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses. For more detail on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. Our lead authority is the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC) in Malta, idpc.org.mt.
