Cookie Notice

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognize certain information about a browsing session, remember preferences, improve functionality, maintain security, and, where permitted, understand how visitors interact with the Website.

Cookies may be stored temporarily for the duration of a browsing session or remain on your device for a defined period after you leave the Website.

Similar technologies, such as local storage or comparable browser-based technologies, may also be used for the purposes described in this Policy.

2. Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the cookies and technologies enabled on the Website, information collected automatically may include:

• IP address;
• browser type and version;
• device type and operating system;
• approximate geographic location derived from technical information such as the IP address;
• pages visited and navigation paths;
• date and time of access;
• session and technical identifiers;
• referring website or source;
• interactions with Website features;
• cookie and privacy preferences.

The Website is not designed to use cookies to collect sensitive financial information such as bank account details or credit card numbers, nor identity document numbers, biometric data, or personal contact lists.

Information that you voluntarily provide through forms, questionnaires, the GDS Assessment, Entry Eligibility, Request a Conversation, or other Website features is not treated as information collected through cookies merely because those services are accessed through the Website. Such information is governed primarily by our Privacy Policy.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to operate properly and securely.

They may be used, for example, to:

• maintain Website security;
• enable basic navigation and technical functions;
• prevent fraudulent or malicious activity;
• remember your cookie preferences;
• maintain a browsing session;
• support forms and other essential Website functions;
• remember whether certain required Website notices or eligibility steps have been completed.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the Website, they may be used without prior consent where permitted by applicable law.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies through your browser may cause certain parts of the Website to function incorrectly.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices or preferences that improve the browsing experience.

They may include preferences relating to language, display settings, embedded content, or other Website functionality.

Where required by applicable law, these cookies will only be activated after you provide your consent.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website.

They may allow us to evaluate information such as:

• the number of Website visits;
• pages viewed;
• navigation patterns;
• approximate session duration;
• technical errors;
• device and browser characteristics;
• general Website performance.

This information helps us evaluate and improve the structure, content, usability, and performance of the Website.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated after you provide your consent.

Where reasonably possible, analytics information should be used in aggregated or otherwise privacy-conscious form.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Gyroscope does not require advertising or behavioral profiling cookies for the essential operation of the Website.

If advertising, remarketing, social media tracking, or similar technologies are introduced in the future, they will be identified separately and, where required by applicable law, will only be activated after the user has provided appropriate consent.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies may be classified according to the entity responsible for setting them.

First-party cookies are placed directly by Gyroscope or by systems operating on behalf of the Website.

Third-party cookies may be placed by external technology providers whose services are integrated into the Website, such as analytics, security, hosting, form-processing, scheduling, or embedded media providers.

When third-party services are used, those providers may process information according to their own privacy practices and contractual arrangements with Gyroscope.

Some service providers may process data outside Brazil. Where applicable, international transfers of personal data will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and as further described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Session and Persistent Cookies

The Website may use both session and persistent cookies.

Session cookies remain active only while your browser session is open and are normally deleted when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies remain stored on your device for a defined period or until they are manually deleted. They may be used to remember preferences or recognize a returning browser.

Retention periods vary according to the purpose and provider of each cookie. Where a cookie preference management tool provides specific information regarding individual cookies, their respective duration may also be displayed through that tool.

6. Your Cookie Choices

When you first access the Website, you may be presented with a cookie notice or preference management tool.

Where applicable, you will be able to:

• accept non-essential cookies;
• reject non-essential cookies; or
• manage your cookie preferences by category.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for the Website to operate correctly.

You may change or withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie preference controls made available on the Website, where available.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most internet browsers allow you to view, block, delete, or otherwise manage cookies through their settings.

The exact procedure varies depending on the browser and device you use. Please refer to your browser's privacy or cookie settings for further information.

Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, may affect the availability or proper functioning of certain Website features.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on the applicable data protection law and the circumstances of the processing, you may have rights relating to your personal data, including rights to request information about the processing of your data, access or correction, deletion or anonymization where applicable, withdrawal of consent, and objection to certain forms of processing.

Further information about these rights, how personal data is handled by Gyroscope, and how to submit a privacy-related request is available in our Privacy Policy.

9. Changes to This Cookie Notice

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect changes in the Website, the technologies we use, applicable legal requirements, or our privacy practices.

When material changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be revised accordingly.

Where required by applicable law, we may also request your consent again before activating cookies affected by a material change.
