Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser. They help sites remember your preferences, measure performance, and understand how visitors interact with content. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which store data locally in your browser without sending it to a server.

What we set

Analytics cookies (optional)

Active only when you click Accept. We use Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-LEP9DWN0LY) to understand how visitors use this site. When active, Google Analytics sets the following first-party cookies:

• _ga — Distinguishes unique visitors. Expires after 2 years.
• _ga_XXXXXXXX — Maintains session state for this property. Expires after 2 years.

These cookies collect: pages visited, time on page, general geographic location (country and city — not precise GPS), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site. This data is processed by Google and governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

IP anonymization is enabled. Your full IP address is never stored in Google Analytics.

Consent preference (always active)

We store your cookie consent choice in localStorage under the key gw-consent with the value "granted" or "denied". This item:

• Lives only in your browser — it is never transmitted to us
• Has no expiry date (persists until you clear browser storage)
• Controls whether Google Analytics cookies are activated on your next visit

This preference storage is technically necessary to honor your choice and does not require separate consent under GDPR or CCPA.

What we do not set

• Advertising or retargeting cookies — we run no ad advertising programs through this site
• Social media pixels — no Meta, LinkedIn, X, or TikTok tracking
• Cross-site tracking cookies — we do not track you across other websites
• Session or login cookies — this site has no user accounts
• A/B testing or personalization cookies — not currently in use

How to change your preference

Using our banner

Click Cookies in the site footer. The consent banner will reappear. Select Decline to disable analytics, or Accept to re-enable it. Your choice takes effect immediately.

Through your browser

You can delete all cookies set by this site through your browser's settings. This also clears the consent preference — the banner will reappear on your next visit.

• Chrome — manage cookies
• Firefox — clear cookies
• Safari — manage cookies
• Microsoft Edge — delete cookies

Google Analytics opt-out

To opt out of Google Analytics across all sites (not just ours), install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Cookie consent and GDPR / CCPA

Our consent mechanism is built on Google Consent Mode v2. Analytics tracking defaults to denied for all visitors until explicit consent is given. This means:

• No analytics cookies are written to your browser on first load
• No analytics data is sent to Google until you click Accept
• Withdrawing consent (clicking Decline) stops analytics data collection immediately

California residents: we do not sell or share personal information collected through cookies. You have the right to opt out of any future sharing. To exercise CCPA rights, contact hello@globalizewe.com.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page if our cookie practices change. Material changes will be reflected in the effective date above. If we add new cookies that require consent, the banner will reappear.
