Cookie Policy

We use cookies for three purposes: (1) strictly necessary operation of the website, (2) remembering your privacy preferences, and (3) analytics (only with your consent). We do not use cookies for advertising targeting or retargeting.

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies (consent required)

These cookies are only placed if you click "Accept" on our cookie consent banner or if we have other lawful basis for their use. If you decline, these cookies are not set.

Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We implement Google Consent Mode v2. This means that even though we load the Google Analytics script on every page (to avoid page-load penalties from script injection), we configure the script with all consent signals set to "denied" by default. The Analytics script will not place analytics cookies, collect your data, or send data to Google unless and until you accept cookies.

If you accept cookies, we call gtag('consent', 'update', ...) to grant analytics storage and your data begins flowing to Google Analytics. If you decline, or if you later withdraw consent, analytics storage remains denied for your session and future sessions on this device.

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. If your browser or a browser extension sends a GPC signal when you visit brandedbites.com, we will automatically deny analytics consent without displaying the consent banner, and we will not activate analytics storage during that session.

We also acknowledge Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals, but unlike GPC, DNT does not have a standardized legal definition or legal obligation in most US states. We treat DNT signals the same as a GPC signal — we will not activate analytics tracking — but we cannot guarantee universal DNT compliance across all third-party services.

Through Our Site

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Your Privacy Choices" in the footer of any page on brandedbites.com. This will reopen the consent banner and allow you to accept or decline analytics cookies.

Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you before cookies are placed. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. For instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Google Analytics Opt-Out

To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites (not just brandedbites.com), install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on provided by Google.
