This Cookies Policy explains what Cookies are, how GrnEdge LLC ("GrnEdge," "we," "us," or "our") uses them, and the choices you have regarding their use. For more information about how we collect, use, and protect personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
Different GrnEdge-operated sites use different technologies. The Google Analytics and Cookie Preferences disclosures below apply to our main website, www.grnedge.com. Our separate GrnEdge-branded data-preparation consultation landing page currently has no optional analytics or advertising trackers.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") are small text files, pixels, SDKs, or local storage objects placed on your computer, mobile device, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and sometimes deliver ads or personalized content.
Cookies generally do not contain personally identifying information, but information we store about you may be linked to data collected from Cookies.
We do not store sensitive personal information (such as passwords, financial data, or mailing addresses) in the Cookies we use.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to:
- Enable the secure operation of our website;
- Remember your preferences and settings;
- Understand how visitors use our website and improve performance;
- Measure the effectiveness of communications or marketing campaigns; and
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Cookies may be session-based or persistent. The categories below describe the options available in our Cookie Preferences center.
Not every category currently uses tracking technology. Google Analytics 4 is our only active optional analytics tool. Hotjar, Google Ads, and Meta Pixel are not installed. Other optional categories do not currently activate additional tools.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Consent Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Store cookie preferences and support essential website operations. | Local preference storage; essential hosting cookies, if used | Always active |
| Functional | Remember user preferences such as language, region, or login state to provide a customized experience. | Locale or theme preferences | Optional |
| Analytics & Performance | Measure website visits, engagement, traffic sources, and successful contact-form submissions. | Google Analytics 4: _ga, _ga_QJ65RBCZFK | Requires analytics consent |
| Advertising & Targeting | No advertising or retargeting tools are currently active. | None currently active | No advertising tracking enabled |
| AI or Personalization | Support interactive or AI-driven features, such as chat or automated assistance. | AI session cookies (if used) | Optional |
Our Cookie Preferences center identifies the local preference storage and Google Analytics cookies used when analytics is enabled, including their default lifetimes. Our hosting provider may also use essential security or routing cookies that are not individually listed in this inventory.
The separate data-preparation consultation landing page uses necessary admin-authentication cookies to secure administrator access and an optional buyer-directory access cookie that lasts 30 days. The buyer-directory cookie remembers directory access; it is not an analytics or advertising tracker. You can remove it through your browser’s cookie controls. Its expiration does not delete consultation information or other stored records.
4. Consent and Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our main website, you will see a banner allowing you to:
- Accept all Cookies,
- Reject all non-essential Cookies, or
- Manage preferences by category.
Google Analytics remains disabled unless you explicitly allow Analytics & Performance. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through Cookie Preferences in the website footer. Turning analytics off stops further collection and removes this site’s Google Analytics cookies. Withdrawal does not automatically delete information previously collected by Google.
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) as an opt-out of advertising and sharing. Analytics still requires your separate explicit consent.
5. "Do Not Sell or Share" and Advertising Cookies
We do not sell personal information. No advertising or retargeting pixels are currently installed on this website. Our Google Analytics integration operates only with analytics consent, and its advertising-related permissions remain disabled.
You can opt out of such sharing at any time by:
- Adjusting settings in our Cookie Preferences center, and
- Using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our website footer.
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals for these preferences.
We do not disclose or use Sensitive Personal Information to infer characteristics.
6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
You can also control or delete Cookies through your browser settings. Instructions for popular browsers are available here:
If you disable Cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly.
7. Retention of Cookie Data
Your cookie preferences are stored locally for 180 days.
If you allow analytics, Google Analytics may set two first-party cookies, _ga and _ga_QJ65RBCZFK, on .grnedge.com. Their default expiration is two years, although browsers may shorten this period. Turning off analytics removes these cookies from this site and stops further collection.
Cookie expiration is separate from Google’s retention of previously collected information. Google Analytics event and user data associated with identifiers is retained for up to 14 months, with user-data retention refreshed by new activity. Aggregated reporting data may remain available for longer. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
8. International Users
Our website is operated from the United States. If you access our website from outside the U.S., please note that your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., using appropriate legal safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (and UK Addendum, where applicable).
9. Updates to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Material changes will also be announced via our website banner or notice. Continued use of the website does not constitute consent to optional analytics. Analytics requires an explicit affirmative choice.
