Last Updated: December 30, 2025
Effective Date: December 30, 2025
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide a better user experience.
Cookies allow websites to:
- Remember your login information
- Keep you logged in between sessions
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Analyze how visitors use the website
- Improve website functionality and security
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
Infoterra LLP uses cookies on GraphFolio to ensure the platform functions properly, keep your account secure, and, with your consent, understand how you use our service to improve it.
We use two categories of cookies: Strictly Necessary Cookies (which are always active and essential for the Service) and Analytics Cookies (which require your consent).

Some cookies on our platform are set by third-party services that we use to enhance functionality and security.
5.1 Google reCAPTCHA (Always Active)
Provider: Google LLC
Purpose: Bot detection and fraud prevention (strictly necessary)
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
Google reCAPTCHA is governed by Google's privacy policy. While we integrate this service for security purposes, Google is an independent data controller for the data reCAPTCHA collects.
5.2 Google Analytics (Requires Consent)
Provider: Google LLC
Purpose: Website analytics (optional, requires consent)
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
Google Analytics is only active if you consent via our cookie banner. Google processes analytics data on our behalf, but they are an independent data controller subject to their own privacy policy.
5.3 Our Responsibility
While these third-party services have their own privacy policies, we carefully select partners who comply with GDPR and other data protection regulations. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how they handle your data.

6.3 Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from:

- Maintaining a secure session
- Completing purchases
Disabling analytics cookies will:
- Not affect your ability to use the Service
- Prevent us from collecting anonymous usage data
- Make it harder for us to improve the user experience
We recommend keeping strictly necessary cookies enabled for optimal functionality and security.
Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that requests websites not to track your browsing activity. Currently, there is no industry-wide standard for responding to DNT signals.
Our approach:
- If you have enabled DNT in your browser, we respect your preference
- We do not use third-party tracking cookies for advertising
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) are only activated with your explicit consent, regardless of DNT settings
You can control analytics cookies through our cookie consent banner, which provides clear opt-in/opt-out options.
