1. What this policy covers
This cookie policy applies to glowedge.io and all subdomains. It describes which cookies and similar techniques we place, why, how long they are stored, and how you manage your choice. It is a supplement to our privacy policy.
By "cookies" we also mean similar techniques such as pixels, local storage, and scripts that store or read information on your device.
2. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your computer, phone, or tablet. It usually contains a unique code that allows your browser to be recognized during a subsequent visit. Cookies cannot damage your device.
Session cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their expiration date or until you delete them.
Cookies from Glowedge itself are called first-party cookies. Cookies that other parties place via our website, such as Google or Meta, are third-party cookies. The privacy policy of the party concerned also applies to those cookies.
3. Your choice
On your first visit, you will see a cookie banner with two buttons: accept or decline. We always place necessary cookies; no permission is required for those. We only place all other cookies (analytical and marketing) after your consent.
Your choice is remembered for 6 months. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie Preferences" button at the bottom of every page.
If you decline, the website will work normally. You won't miss out on anything; we just miss insight into the use of the site.

7. Glowedge tracking and embedded components
Glowedge tracking. After your consent, our own platform places a cookie that tracks which pages you visit. If you then fill out a form or schedule an appointment, we link that visiting behavior to your contact details so that we know what you are interested in.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ud, msgsndr_id | Glowedge | Recognizes your browser and links page visits to a later completed form | Up to 1 year |
Forms, chat widget, and appointment calendar. These components are embedded from our own platform. They only place functional cookies necessary for the form or conversation to work, and the spam protection cookie from chapter 4. They are only loaded once they come into view.
Videos. At the moment, we host all videos ourselves. If we embed YouTube or Vimeo videos in the future, those parties will place their own cookies after your agreement. We will then update this policy.
8. Managing cookies yourself
In addition to our cookie banner, you can manage cookies via your browser: view, delete, block, or set per website. You can read how that works in your browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. If you block all cookies, some parts of the website may not work.
If you want to opt out of personalized ads from multiple providers at once, you can do so via youronlinechoices.com.
9. Changes
We adjust this policy if we start using new cookies or remove existing ones. The date at the top indicates the last change.
