Cookie Policy
At gridaroa, we believe in transparency. This policy details exactly how we use cookies on our site, why we need them, and how you can control them. No vague language, no hidden tracking—just the technical essentials required to deliver our web design portfolio and services to you in Bogotá and beyond.
Cookies are small text files that are essential for the modern web to function correctly. They help us understand how you interact with our portfolio, ensure our contact forms work securely, and remember your preferences. Below, we break down every cookie category we deploy.
The Technical Breakdown
We categorize our cookies into three distinct groups. This structure aligns with standard privacy regulations and ensures you know exactly what data is being stored locally on your device when you visit gridaroa.world.
Strictly Necessary
- Essential for site navigation
- Security and network management
- Remembering your privacy consent
- No opt-out available (site won't function)
Performance & Analytics
- Page load speed metrics

- Detecting broken links (404 errors)

Functionality & Preferences
These cookies allow our site to remember choices you make (such as your username or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For gridaroa, this might include remembering a preferred contact form layout or keeping a quote tool active during your session.
Your Control
You have complete control over non-essential cookies. You can accept or decline them via our global consent banner, which appears on your first visit. If you've already made a choice and want to change it, you can clear your browser cookies or contact us directly for guidance.
Third-party services (like embedded Google Maps on our Contact page) set their own cookies. We do not control these, but we only integrate services that respect user privacy.
Manual Opt-Out: Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies. Check your browser settings under "Privacy" or "Security". Note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies will break core site functions.

Our Methodology
We treat our Cookie Policy with the same rigor we apply to our web builds. Every cookie in use at gridaroa.world is documented in an internal audit log. We review this log quarterly to ensure we aren't accumulating obsolete tracking scripts.
"Privacy isn't a feature; it's a baseline requirement. If a tracking script doesn't directly improve the user journey or help us fix a technical bug, it gets cut."
