1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be:

  • Third-party cookies: Set by external services we use, such as analytics or advertising platforms.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons (clear GIFs), pixel tags, and local storage objects. This policy refers to all of these collectively as “cookies.”

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some of the third-party services listed above may themselves set additional cookies as described in their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review:

4. Cookies and the Grungard SIMPro Platform

When you access the Grungard SIMPro web dashboard (a login-protected area of the Site), we use strictly necessary session cookies to authenticate your session and maintain security. We also use functional cookies to remember your dashboard settings across visits. These cookies are not used for advertising purposes.

The SIMPro hardware device itself does not set browser cookies. Device telemetry is transmitted directly to our cloud infrastructure over a secured cellular data channel.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We honor DNT signals by disabling non-essential analytics cookies when a DNT signal is detected. Strictly necessary cookies remain active regardless of DNT.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling cookies:

6.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit the Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies by category. You can update your choices at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of this Site.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), cookies that are used for targeted advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.
