Cookies Policy

1. Essential

Needed for the site to work and to remember your choices:

• tbd-consent (localStorage) — remembers your cookie choice.
• tbd-geo (cookie, 24 hours) — your two-letter country code, set on our US pages so we apply the right privacy model. Nothing else is stored in it.
• tbd-lang (cookie, 12 months) — set only if you switch language, so the homepage opens in the one you chose.
• Leadaro form cookies — set by the embedded audit form to prevent duplicate submissions. Session-only.

2. Analytics and advertising

• Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) — how the site is used and which pages bring enquiries.
• Google Ads (_gcl_au, _gcl_aw) — measures which of our Google ads lead to an enquiry and lets us show our ads to people who have visited the site.
• Meta Pixel (_fbp, _fbc) — measures our Meta ad campaigns and lets us show our ads to people who have visited the site.

When they load:

• Visitors in the United States, on our US pages: when the page opens. Opt out at any time from Your Privacy Choices at the bottom of the page. A Global Privacy Control signal from your browser counts as an opt-out.
• Everyone else, and all Romanian pages: only after you accept in the cookie banner.

3. How to manage cookies

• Use Your Privacy Choices at the bottom of any US page to change your choice.
• Use your browser's settings to view, block, or delete cookies for thebrandoers.com.
• Use a privacy-focused browser (Brave, Firefox with strict mode) to block third-party trackers globally.
• For mobile, both iOS and Android offer per-app tracking restrictions.

Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working — for example, the audit form may not submit correctly.
