This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones we use on globaltrade.business, why we use them, and how you can control them. It applies to https://www.globaltrade.business and all of its pages.
Cookies on their own do not usually identify you by name. However, the information stored in a cookie can be combined with other information we hold about you. Where that happens, we treat it as personal data and handle it in line with our Privacy Policy.
We never store sensitive information such as passwords, payment details, tax identification numbers or postal addresses in the cookies we set.

3. THE COOKIES WE USE
Our cookie banner groups cookies into the four categories below. Only the first category is set before you choose. Everything else waits for your consent.
