This Cookie Policy explains how Gather Software, LLC ("Gather," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the website at usegather.cloud and related subdomains (the "Sites"). Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites function, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Session cookies last only while your browser is open. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. We also use related technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and tags, which we refer to collectively as "cookies."
Yes. We use both session and persistent cookies, set both by Gather (first-party) and by third-party providers. The third-party services we use include Google Analytics, Contentsquare (Hotjar), HubSpot, Calendly, Stripe, and Supabase. The specific cookies and their names may change over time, and we update this Policy on a reasonable-efforts basis.
For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we set only strictly necessary cookies by default and place performance, functional, and marketing cookies (including analytics and session replay) only after you provide consent through our Cookie Preferences settings.
These cookies are required for the Sites to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Disabling a cookie through Cookie Preferences stops further collection but does not, by itself, delete cookies already stored on your device; you can remove those through your browser.
Browsers may send "Do Not Track" signals; there is no common standard for responding to them, so the Sites do not currently respond to DNT. Where required by law, we honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) for opting out of "sale" or "sharing."
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time and will revise the "Last Updated" date when we do.
