What Are Cookies
As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer. Cookies typically contain letters and numbers that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile, etc.) when you visit a website.
We use cookies to enable you to use this website and its functionalities. These cookies are strictly necessary if you want to use the website or specific functionality. We also use cookies to optimise the performance of our website in order to enhance your website experience (performance cookies); and cookies to better understand our website visitors, allowing us to improve our website, products, services and marketing efforts (analysis cookies).
This page describes what information they gather, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored, however this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.
In accordance with applicable Australian privacy law, we will only place performance and analysis cookies if you have allowed us to place our cookies by accepting the relevant notification initially shown on our website. This notification may reappear at intervals, for example when the relevant cookie settings are rejected or removed.
You may disable cookies via your browser settings. Please be aware that this may likewise affect the strictly necessary cookies which are indispensable for the functioning of this website.
Consequently, parts of the site may not function correctly if you disable (all) cookies. Furthermore, without cookies, our ability to enhance your website experience will be limited. For example, the Cookie Information Message will keep on appearing and language preferences will have to be chosen repeatedly. Another option is to adjust your browser settings to alert you when cookies are being placed.
The website http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ provides useful general information on cookies.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies We Use
Where GBP Doctor talks about cookies and tracking technology on our websites we refer to the following:
Web Beacons
To help us better manage content we employ web beacons in emails that we send to our subscribers and clients. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier and are used to track the online movements of internet users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on websites. We use them in our HTML-based emails to learn which emails have been opened by recipients, enabling us to gauge the effectiveness of our client communications and service updates.
Pixels
A pixel refers to the code that is placed on your computer in order to trigger a cookie. We sometimes use this methodology to allow us to deliver more relevant messages to you about our Google Business Profile services.
Log Files
We use log files to record events that occur on our websites. This may include, though not exclusively, the type, content or time of transaction made via your device. These audit trails allow us to analyse activities on our websites and improve our service delivery.
How and Why We Use Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Types of Cookies and how they are set, there are two types of cookies:
“Session Cookies”
Stored temporarily in your computer’s memory while you are visiting a website and are deleted when you close your browser.
“Persistent Cookies”
Stored for a set period on your computer and used to determine whether there has been any contact between us and your computer in the past.
There are two ways cookies can be set on our websites:
“1st Party Cookies”
Cookies that are set by the website domain (or belonging to a sub domain) of the website.
“3rd Party Cookies”
Cookies that are set by another website domain (e.g. by one of our main technology partners or by an external web service).
Cookie Classification
We are categorising cookies set on the site by ourselves and our main technology partners into the following categories:
Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential, as they enable you to move around a website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or submitting contact forms. Without these cookies, services you’ve asked for (such as access to secure areas or form submissions) can’t be provided. These cookies don’t gather information about you that can be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet.
Examples of strictly necessary cookies:
- Session management cookies
- Security cookies
- Load balancing cookies
- Form submission cookies
Category 2: Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use a website, for example which pages you go to most often and if you get any error messages from certain pages. These cookies don’t gather information that can identify you. All information these cookies collect is anonymous and is only used to improve how our website works. These cookies are not used to target you with online advertising. Without these cookies we can’t learn how our website is performing and make relevant improvements that could better your browsing experience.
Examples of performance cookies:
- Google Analytics cookies
- Page load time monitoring
- Error tracking cookies
Category 3: Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow a website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you’re in) and tailor the website to provide enhanced features and content for you. For instance, they can be used to remember log-in details, changes you’ve made to text size, font and other parts of pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you’ve asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. These cookies may be used to ensure that all our services and communications are relevant to you. The information these cookies collect cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. Without these cookies, a website cannot remember choices you’ve previously made or personalise your browsing experience.
Examples of functionality cookies:
- Language preference cookies
- Region/location cookies
- User interface customisation cookies
Category 4: Targeting and Advertising Cookies
We use these to provide adverts on our sites and other websites that we believe are more relevant to you and your interest in Google Business Profile services. Without these cookies, online adverts you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests. We also enable some advertising partners to set cookies specifically to enable them to analyse advertising campaign performance for our GBP reinstatement services.
Examples of targeting cookies:
- Google Ads cookies
- Facebook Pixel cookies
- LinkedIn advertising cookies
- Retargeting cookies
