This page explains exactly which cookies GoBrandOnline uses, what each one does, and how you can manage your preferences. You can update your consent at any time using the button below.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have consented to analytics. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for two purposes:
- Strictly necessary: Essential to the operation of the site (e.g., remembering your cookie consent choice). These cannot be turned off.
- Analytics: Understanding how visitors use our site so we can improve it. Only loaded after you give explicit consent.
We currently use no marketing or advertising cookies.

4. How Google Analytics Uses Your Data
Google Analytics collects data including pages visited, time spent on pages, approximate geographic location (country/region level), device type, and browser. This data is anonymised — we cannot identify individual visitors from it.
Google processes analytics data on servers in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses (EU SCCs) approved by the European Commission. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time:
- Our consent banner: Click "Manage Cookie Preferences" above to reset your choice and see the banner again.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect site functionality.
- Google opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites.
