1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Glocal Opportunities and its associated brands GloEdge Visas, Immigrow Visas and Pearlwise Consulting (collectively, "Glocal Opportunities", "we", "us", "our") use cookies and similar technologies on the website www.glocalopportunities.com and on its sub- domains and blog (the "Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What is a cookie?

• A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device — desktop, laptop, tablet or phone
• when you visit. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and gather analytics. We also use related technologies such as web beacons (tracking pixels), local storage, and SDK identifiers; for simplicity we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this Policy.

3. Categories of cookies we use

4. Other tracking technologies

• Web beacons / tracking pixels — embedded in our marketing emails to confirm delivery, opens and clicks.
• Local & session storage — used by our chat widget, calculators (e.g., points calculator) and form drafts.
• Server logs — IP address, device, OS, request path, timestamp; retained for 180 days for security and CERT-In compliance.

5. How we obtain your consent

On your first visit to the Website, a cookie banner appears. Until you make a choice, we drop only strictly-necessary cookies. You can:

• Accept all — allow all categories listed above.
• Reject non-essential — block analytics and marketing categories; functional cookies will still be used to remember this choice.
• Customise — pick category-by-category. You can revisit your choices at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the Website footer, or by clearing the cookie_consent cookie in your browser.

6. How to control cookies in your browser

• Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Look under Settings → Privacy and security:
• Google Chrome → Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox → Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Apple Safari → Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
• Microsoft Edge → Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
• Mobile browsers offer similar controls under Settings → Site settings (Android) or Settings → Safari → Advanced (iOS). Note: blocking strictly-necessary cookies may break parts of the Website — forms may not submit, payment may fail, language preference may not persist.

7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Browsers can send Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. There is no consensus on how DNT should be honoured. We honour GPC where technically feasible: a GPC signal is treated as withdrawal of consent for analytics and marketing cookies.

8. Cookies set by third parties

Some cookies on our Website are set by third parties (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Zoom, our chat-widget vendor, etc.). We do not control how those third parties process the data they collect. Their privacy and cookie policies apply in addition to ours. Direct links are available on the cookie preferences screen.

9. Children

Our cookie banner is designed to require an affirmative action before any non-essential cookies are dropped. We do not knowingly target advertising cookies at users under 18.

10. International transfers

Some of our cookie partners (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft) process data outside India, including in the United States, the EU and Singapore. We rely on the lawful transfer mechanisms

set out in our Privacy Policy, including Standard Contractual Clauses and country adequacy designations.

11. Changes to this policy

We will update this Policy when we add or remove tracking tools. The "Effective date" at the top reflects the latest revision. We will re-prompt for consent where there is a material new category.
