5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on a device when a website is visited. The Site uses a consent tool that allows visitors to control non-essential cookies.

Our cookie categories include:

• Functional: Necessary for security, network management, saving consent choices, and essential Site operation. These cannot be disabled through Cookie Settings.
• Preferences: Remember choices that personalize the visitor’s experience.
• Statistics: Help us understand how visitors use the Site and improve its performance.
• Marketing: Support advertising measurement and certain third-party content or integrations.

Except for technologies necessary to operate and secure the Site, services assigned to Preferences, Statistics, or Marketing are blocked until the visitor provides the applicable consent.

The Site may use:

• Google Analytics to understand Site traffic and usage after Statistics consent is provided.
• Google Maps to display interactive maps after the applicable consent is provided.
• Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and automated abuse.
• Google Fonts to display website typography. Requests to Google’s servers may disclose technical information such as an IP address.

Specific cookies, their purposes, providers, categories, and typical durations are shown below:

Consent choices are generally remembered for approximately 180 days, after which visitors may be asked to choose again.

Third-party providers may change their cookies or retention periods. The cookie table and Cookie Settings panel should be treated as the most current description of the Site’s cookie configuration.

6. Managing Cookie Choices

You can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies through the consent banner. You can review or change your choice at any time by selecting Cookie Settings on the Site.

Withdrawing consent prevents the applicable services from loading on future page views. Cookies configured for removal are also deleted when consent is withdrawn, although some third-party technologies may require additional browser action.

You can also delete or block cookies using your browser settings. Blocking certain technologies may affect features such as maps, videos, or protected forms.

Global Privacy Control

If your browser sends a recognized Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal, the Site treats it as a request to opt out of Marketing technologies and applicable sale or sharing of personal information.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no uniform standard for interpreting these signals, the Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We honor recognized GPC signals as described above.

7. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information to service providers that help us operate the Site and conduct our business, such as:

• Website hosting and security providers
• Website analytics providers
• Form, email, and communication providers
• Professional advisers
• Recruitment and employment-service providers

These providers may process information only as needed to perform services for us or as permitted by their agreements and applicable law.

We may also disclose information:

• To comply with a law, regulation, court order, or valid legal request
• To protect the rights, safety, and security of CGS, our clients, or others
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of business assets
• With your direction or consent

We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. If a technology used on the Site is considered a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable California law, visitors can opt out using Cookie Settings or a recognized GPC signal.

8. California Privacy Rights

Depending on our relationship with you and whether applicable California privacy law covers a particular activity, California residents may have the right to:

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require evidence of that authorization.

9. Other Privacy Rights

If the privacy law of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction applies to the processing of your information, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Receive a portable copy of certain information
• Withdraw consent
• File a complaint with an appropriate supervisory authority

10. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, evaluating employment applications, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary based on the type of information and applicable requirements. Cookie durations are described in the cookie table or Cookie Settings panel.

11. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

The Site is intended for businesses and adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Site, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
