Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 19, 2026
We believe you deserve to know exactly what happens when you visit our website - including the small files called cookies that help it work. This Cookie Policy is our way of being transparent about what we collect, why we collect it, and how you stay in control. At International Bridge Inc., we take your data seriously and respect your privacy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored on your device for a set period).
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to understand how visitors interact with our content, and - with your consent - to support our marketing efforts. We do not use cookies to personally identify you without your knowledge.
The legal basis for using strictly necessary and security cookies is our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website. For analytics and marketing cookies, the legal basis is your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time.
3. Cookie categories
3.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure form submission, and load balancing. They do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.
3.2 Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our website. Analytics operates in two modes depending on your consent choice. With your consent, analytics cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) are set on your device to identify returning sessions and generate individualized usage reports. Without your consent, the Google Analytics tag is still loaded in a privacy-preserving configuration known as Google Consent Mode v2 (advanced mode), which transmits aggregated, cookieless measurements to Google. In this cookieless mode, no cookies are stored on your device, no cross-session identifier is created, and no advertising signals are sent; Google receives only anonymized technical data - such as the page URL, referrer, browser type, and a truncated IP address - which is used to produce aggregate traffic modelling.
3.3 Marketing
With your consent, we use marketing cookies to track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns across platforms such as Facebook. These cookies help us show relevant content to users who have previously visited our site.
3.4 Security (reCAPTCHA)
We use Google reCAPTCHA on our contact forms to protect against spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA sets cookies to distinguish human visitors from bots. This service is provided by Google and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

Several of our third-party providers are based in the United States. When cookies set by these providers collect or transmit data, that data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Such transfers are carried out under appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, as referenced in each provider's privacy policy.
