Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, making your experience more efficient. Cookies are widely used across the web; most major websites use them. Cookies do not contain viruses, cannot install malware, and cannot access the rest of your device. This Cookie Policy explains the specific cookies used on www.globalmarketingzone.in.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use three categories of cookies on our website:

• Essential cookies — required for the website to function. They enable core features like saving your cookie consent choice. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies — collect aggregated, anonymized information about how visitors use our site, so we can improve it. These are only set after you provide consent.
• Functional cookies — enable enhanced functionality, such as remembering your session for live chat or analytics tag delivery (Google Tag Manager). Set only after consent.

3. Specific Cookies We Set

The table below lists the cookies you may encounter on our site:

Note: cookie names ending in _* are wildcard placeholders — for example, _ga_<container-id> uses a unique site identifier appended by Google.

4. Google Analytics 4 & Consent Mode v2

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic patterns on our website. We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2, which means:

• Before you grant consent — Google receives “cookieless pings”: minimal, anonymized data points that do not use cookies and cannot identify you. This allows us to measure basic traffic volumes without setting analytics cookies.
• After you grant consent — full analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) are set, and we receive standard aggregated analytics reports.
• If you reject consent — no analytics cookies are set; only cookieless pings continue. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

5. How to Manage Cookies

• Our consent banner — when you first visit our site, a banner lets you “Accept” or “Reject” non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored for 12 months.
• Cookie settings — use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page to revisit your choice at any time.
• Browser settings — you can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. See your browser's help pages for instructions: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.

Disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties when you interact with their services from our site:

• Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager (Google LLC) — see Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Cookie List.
• WhatsApp — if you click our WhatsApp floating icon, WhatsApp may set cookies on its own domain. See WhatsApp's Privacy Policy.

We do not control these third-party cookies; their use is governed by the respective provider's policies.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. For material changes, we will re-display the consent banner on your next visit.
