1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it, allowing your browser to be recognised on later visits. Other technologies serve an equivalent function, such as browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), pixels and tracking tags. In this policy we use the term "cookies" to refer to all of them generally.
This Cookies Policy forms an integral part of the ProBrokerSystems Privacy and Personal Data Processing Policy.
2. What this site uses
We want to be transparent: this site does not install first-party tracking, advertising or analytics cookies. It only uses browser local storage to remember two interface preferences, and it loads third-party resources that may set their own cookies, as detailed below.
3. Categories
- Strictly necessary or technical: essential for the site to work and to remember basic user decisions. They do not require prior consent.
- Preferences or personalisation: allow options such as language or display mode to be remembered.
- Analytics or measurement: allow site usage to be quantified and analysed. We currently do not use cookies in this category.
- Advertising and marketing: allow personalised ads to be shown or campaigns to be measured. We currently do not use cookies in this category.
4. Technologies used in detail
First-party local storage (domain probrokersystems.com):
| Name | Technology | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
darkMode |
localStorage | Preferences | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode so the preference is not reset on every visit. | Persistent until you clear your browser data. |
gdprAccepted |
localStorage | Strictly necessary | Records that you have already accepted the privacy and cookies notice, so it is not shown again. | Persistent until you clear your browser data. |
None of these identifiers contain data that directly identifies you, and none are shared with third parties.
5. Third-party cookies and resources
When loading or using certain features of the site, your browser connects to third-party servers that may record technical connection data (such as your IP address and browser) and set their own cookies. These third parties act under their own privacy policies, over which ProBrokerSystems has no control:
| Third party | Domain | When it comes into play | Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTranslate | cdn.gtranslate.net | Site translation widget; loaded together with the page. | View policy |
| FormSubmit | formsubmit.co | Only when you submit a contact form. | View policy |
| Social networks | linkedin.com, instagram.com, facebook.com, t.me | Only if you click the links to our profiles and leave the site. | Each platform's own policy |
If we add analytics or marketing tools in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent where applicable law requires it.
6. Legal basis and consent
Strictly necessary technologies are used on the basis of the legitimate interest in delivering the requested service and do not require prior consent. For any non-essential technology, processing is based on your consent, which you may freely give or withdraw at any time through your browser settings or by deleting the stored data, as explained in the next section.
The notice displayed when you enter the site informs you about the use of these technologies. Closing it or continuing to browse does not prevent you from exercising, at any time, the opt-out options described below.
7. How to manage or delete these technologies
You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies and site data, or to browse in private mode. These are the official instructions for the most widely used browsers:
To delete this site's local storage specifically, clear the "site data" or "browsing data" associated with the domain probrokersystems.com from your browser's privacy settings. Doing so will reset the default display mode and the privacy notice will be shown again.
8. Consequences of disabling them
Blocking local storage does not prevent you from using the site or accessing its content. It will simply mean that your display preferences are not remembered and that the privacy notice is shown again on each visit. Blocking third-party resources may prevent the translation widget from working or forms from being submitted.
9. Browser privacy signals
Because this site does not carry out cross-site tracking or behavioural advertising, Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals do not change how it works: there is no tracking activity to disable.
10. Changes to this policy
This Cookies Policy may be updated when we adopt new technologies or when applicable regulations change. The version in force will always be the one published on this page, showing its update date.
