Learn how GMB Toolkit uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, protect, and improve our services.
What are cookies? Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the service.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. By using GMB Toolkit, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
We use the following categories of cookies on our platform:
| Category | Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| session | Keeps you logged in securely across pages | Session | |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session | |
| remember_me | Keeps you logged in when "Remember me" is selected | 30 days | |
| locale | Remembers your language and region preference | 1 year | |
| sidebar_state | Remembers whether sidebar is open or collapsed | 30 days | |
| _ga | Google Analytics — tracks page views and usage patterns | 2 years | |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users | 24 hours |
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. Without them, core features like logging in, staying authenticated, and form submissions would not work.
These cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the security and operation of the service. They do not track you for advertising purposes.
Functional cookies remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalized experience. For example, they may remember your sidebar state or preferred language.
Disabling these cookies will not break the platform but may result in a less personalized experience where your preferences need to be reset on each visit.
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our platform — which pages are visited most, where users drop off, and how features are being used. This helps us improve the product.
Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Some features on our platform may use third-party services that set their own cookies. These include:
We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party privacy policies for more information.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:
You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used:
To manage cookies in popular browsers: Chrome · Firefox · Safari · Edge
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked.
Currently there is no universal standard for DNT signals. We do not respond to DNT signals at this time, but we only use analytics cookies in aggregate, anonymized form and do not track users for advertising.
When you connect your Google Business Profile, we store OAuth tokens securely in our database — not in cookies. These tokens are encrypted at rest and used solely to operate the features you enable.
Cookies are never used to store Google account credentials or OAuth tokens.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our platform evolves or regulations change.
Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notice. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
