Cookie Policy

How Golden Ads uses cookies and similar technologies—and how you stay in control.

Last updated: 30 July 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies, including local storage and tags, can perform related functions. They help websites work, remember choices, understand use and—only where you agree—measure or personalise marketing.

2. Our consent approach

Strictly necessary technologies operate because they are required to provide the website, secure it, retain your basket or remember your privacy choice. Analytics and advertising storage are kept off until you select Accept. Selecting Reject keeps optional categories disabled.

You can change your mind at any time through Privacy settings in the footer. Your choice is normally remembered for up to 180 days, unless you clear browser data or we need to ask again sooner.

3. Categories we use

Strictly necessaryCheckout, security, load balancing, session management and recording your consent choice. These cannot be switched off through our banner.

FunctionalOptional settings that improve convenience. Used only where enabled and appropriate.

AnalyticsHelps us understand aggregated site use and improve performance. Google Analytics may set names such as _ga and _ga_* after consent.

AdvertisingHelps measure campaigns and limit or improve advertising relevance. Google advertising services may use identifiers such as _gcl_au where configured and consented to.

4. Typical technologies

Technology	Purpose	Typical duration
goldenads_consent	Stores your privacy choice	Up to 180 days
WordPress / WooCommerce session cookies	Essential site, basket and checkout functions	Session to a few days
Security cookies	Fraud prevention, account and site protection	Session to one year, depending on provider
Google Analytics cookies	Audience and usage measurement after consent	Commonly up to 2 years; configuration may shorten this
Google advertising identifiers	Conversion measurement after consent	Commonly up to 90 days

The exact names and lifetimes can change when services are updated. Browser settings and provider controls may also shorten storage.

5. Third parties

Where enabled, third-party services such as Google may receive device and usage information under their own privacy terms. Our Privacy Policy explains legal bases, recipients, international transfers and your rights.

6. Browser controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent baskets, checkout, sign-in or security features from working correctly. Browser controls do not automatically withdraw consent already communicated to us, so also use our Privacy settings control.
