7. Consent

When you visit our website for the first time, we will show you a pop-up with an explanation about cookies. As soon as you click on “Accept”, you consent to us using all cookies and plug-ins as described in the pop-up and this Cookie Policy. You can disable the use of cookies via your browser, but please note that our website may no longer work properly.

7.1 Manage your consent settings

You have loaded the Cookie Policy without javascript support. On AMP, you can use the manage consent button on the bottom of the page.

8. How to Manage Cookies

You can use your internet browser to automatically or manually delete cookies. You can also configure your browser to block specific cookies or notify you whenever a cookie is set. For more information, please refer to your browser’s Help section. You can also use privacy tools such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) to signal your preference to opt out of tracking.

Please note that disabling all cookies may affect how the website functions. If you delete cookies, they may be set again when you visit our site and give consent.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under privacy laws such as the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or LGPD — including the right to withdraw consent to optional cookies.

We do not knowingly store personal information in cookies. However, if you choose to provide personal details — for example, by submitting a form on our website — that information (such as your name or email address) may, in some cases, be associated with previous site activity using a tracking ID stored in a cookie. This helps us better understand how users engage with our site and improve our services.

Other tools we use (e.g., Google Analytics) may collect anonymized or pseudonymized data through cookies. This data cannot be used by us to identify you personally. Because we do not link this data to a specific individual, certain privacy rights — such as access, correction, or deletion — may not apply in this context.

If you have questions or concerns about your privacy or how we use cookies, feel free to contact us at hello@nicsystemsinc.com.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the law or in our cookie usage. We recommend reviewing this policy from time to time to stay informed.
