Cookie Policy

What cookies the site uses, why they exist, and how to switch off the ones you don’t want.

Last reviewed on 2026-04-27. Read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting (first-party); others are set by third-party services that the page loads, such as analytics or advertising providers. Cookies can stay on your device for a single session or persist for longer (sometimes months).

2. Categories used on GlobeChart

Essential

These cookies are required for basic operation — for example, remembering whether you have dismissed a notice, or balancing requests across servers. They cannot be switched off without breaking the site.

Analytics — Google Analytics

GlobeChart uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID is loaded in the page source) to count visits, see which pages are useful, and detect technical errors. Google Analytics sets cookies with names beginning _ga, _gid, and similar, typically lasting between 24 hours and two years. These cookies do not contain your name or email address; we receive aggregated reports.

Advertising — Google AdSense and partners

When advertising is enabled, the site loads Google AdSense and may show ads served either directly by Google or by Google’s authorized network partners. AdSense and its partners may set cookies (for example __gads, __gpi, IDE, NID) used to:

  • Limit how often a given ad is shown to the same person
  • Detect invalid traffic and ad fraud
  • Measure ad performance for advertisers
  • Personalize ads where personalization is permitted

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and other sites on the Internet.

3. How to control cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

  • Browser settings. Every modern browser lets you block, delete, or restrict cookies. Look for “Privacy” or “Cookies and site data” in your browser’s settings. Blocking all cookies will not stop you reading the site, but some functions and analytics will be lost.
  • Google Ad Settings. Manage personalized advertising at google.com/settings/ads.
  • Industry opt-outs. Opt out of personalized advertising from many vendors at aboutads.info/choices (US/Canada) or youronlinechoices.eu (Europe).
  • Google Analytics opt-out. Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to block measurement on every site you visit.
  • Global Privacy Control. Browsers that send the GPC signal will be treated as opting out of the “sale or sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, where the law recognizes that signal.

4. Cookies set by third parties we link to

When a page loads Google Fonts or the jsDelivr CDN (used for the Chart.js library), those providers can record your IP address and basic request information. They generally do not set tracking cookies for that purpose, but their own privacy notices govern any data they receive.

5. Updates

Cookie inventories change as services are added or removed. The “Last reviewed” date above reflects the most recent review. For details on legal bases, retention, and your rights see the Privacy Policy.
