Cookie Policy

Last updated: 4 July 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, improve performance, and provide useful information to site operators. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage where appropriate.

2. Who is responsible?

The data controller for cookies used on this website is ARP Group Ltd, trading as GestWave. For privacy-related enquiries, please contact us at hello@gestwave.app.

3. Types of cookies we use

We classify the cookies and similar technologies we use into the categories below. The legal basis for strictly necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in delivering a secure, functioning website (GDPR Article 6(1)(f) and the ePrivacy exemption for strictly necessary cookies). For any non-essential cookies, we rely on your freely given consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)).

4. Third-party services

We use a very limited number of external services that may process technical data or place cookies when you visit our site:

• Google Fonts — We load fonts from Google Fonts to ensure consistent typography. Google may process technical data such as your IP address. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

We do not use social-media pixels, advertising trackers or analytics suites on the public website at this time. If we add new third-party services in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, request your consent before any non-essential cookies are placed.

5. How to manage cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or delete cookies already stored on your device. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

Guides for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

6. Your privacy rights

Under the GDPR and applicable European privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Request information about the personal data we process via cookies (right of access)
• Ask us to correct inaccurate personal data (right to rectification)
• Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances (right to erasure)
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests (right to object)
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal
• Lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority

7. Data retention

Cookies are retained for the duration indicated in the table above. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire after the stated period or when you delete them manually. Data collected through strictly necessary cookies is kept only for as long as required to fulfil the relevant security or operational purpose.

8. International transfers

Where third-party providers process data outside the European Economic Area (for example, Google Fonts), appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR Chapter V, including standard contractual clauses where applicable.
