Cookie policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They are commonly used to remember preferences or measure how a site is used. GlowGear uses as few as possible.

Cookies used on this site

1. Google Analytics 4 (consent-based)

When you accept analytics in the cookie banner, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visitors and measure page views, session duration, approximate location, and traffic sources. These cookies persist for up to 13 months. They are set only after you accept. If you decline, no analytics cookies are written.

2. Consent preference (local storage)

Your cookie-banner choice is stored in your browser’s local storage (a similar mechanism to cookies, kept on your device only) under a key recording your choice, so the banner does not ask again on every visit. It contains no personal data and is never sent to our servers.

What we don’t use

No advertising cookies, no retargeting pixels, no social-media tracking cookies, no session or login cookies (the site has no accounts). Affiliate links pass a standard Amazon Associates tag in the URL itself; this is not a cookie and is controlled by Amazon’s own cookie practices after you leave our site.

How to control cookies

You can accept or decline analytics cookies via the banner shown on your first visit. After that, you can change your mind in two ways: delete the consent record by clearing your browser’s site data for glowgearbeauty.com (the banner will reappear and you can choose again), or block all cookies from Google Analytics domains in your browser settings. Most browsers also offer a “Do Not Track” setting; where a browser signals this, we treat it the same as declining analytics. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect any site functionality.
