This Cookie Policy explains how Elite Golden Visa Limited (“EGV”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at elitegoldenvisa.com (the “Website”).

This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

We use the Complianz cookie consent management platform to manage your cookie preferences. When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept, reject, or customise your cookie preferences.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to the operators of the website.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically by our technology partners and advertising services.

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

3. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We use cookies in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and, where applicable to users located in the European Economic Area, the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent, as they are essential for the Website to function. All other cookies (analytics, functional, and advertising cookies) are only placed on your device after you have given your explicit consent through our cookie consent banner, managed by Complianz.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your preferences through the Complianz cookie settings widget on our Website, or by managing cookies through your browser settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
