You can always say no to cookies and similar technologies that are not essential cookies. When you access the GWI Platform you will be presented with our cookie banner, which gives you the choice to accept, reject or manage your cookie preferences in respect of our cookies (both first party and third party). You can amend your choice at any time by clicking the cookie widget or the "Your Privacy Choices" link, which you will always find in the GWI Platform.
You can manage and delete third-party cookies via your browser settings, however, if you reject all third-party cookies your experience may be less personalized to you and some of our pages may not be displayed properly.
It is possible to instruct your browser to refuse all non essential cookies and similar technologies. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, but you can update these settings to either refuse cookies altogether, or to notify you when a website is trying to set or update a cookie.

US Consumers - opting out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and Global Privacy Control (GPC)
If you are a resident of California or another US state with a comprehensive privacy law, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for cross-context behavioural (targeted) advertising. GWI “shares” personal information in this way through the advertising cookies described above. You can exercise this right at any time by:
We recognise and honour GPC signals for the browser and device on which they are enabled and will treat a valid GPC signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information; where we process your signal we will indicate on our Website that it has been honoured.
Because these choices are stored on your device and browser, they are browser- and device-specific and, like other cookies, will be removed if you clear your cookies, in which case you will need to renew your choices. As these preferences are stored on your own device, GWI cannot apply or change them on your behalf.
