Gov2Biz Inc. | Website Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This Cookie Policy explains how Gov2Biz Inc. (“Gov2Biz,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the Gov2Biz marketing website at https://gov2biz.com.
This Cookie Policy applies to website cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies used for website functionality, security, analytics, live chat, embedded content, advertising, retargeting, and campaign measurement.
This Cookie Policy does not govern cookies or similar technologies used inside Gov2Biz SaaS applications, government agency portals, or agency-configured systems. Those environments are governed by applicable agency notices, customer contracts, and separate Gov2Biz application policies or agreements.
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember preferences, secure forms, analyze traffic, support live chat, embed videos, measure campaigns, and deliver or measure relevant advertising.
Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, local storage, and device or browser identifiers that perform similar functions.
Gov2Biz uses a stricter, opt-in cookie consent approach for the website. The cookie banner is intended to give visitors the ability to Accept All, Reject All, or Manage Choices before non-essential cookies are placed or non-essential tracking technologies are activated.
Strictly necessary cookies may be placed before consent because they are required to operate the website, remember privacy choices, secure forms, prevent spam or abuse, manage traffic, or provide essential security functionality.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Accept All | Allows all cookie categories and similar technologies described in this Cookie Policy. |
| Reject All | Rejects non-essential cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary cookies remain active. |
| Manage Choices | Allows you to accept or reject cookies by category, such as functional, analytics, or advertising cookies. |
| Your Privacy Choices | A persistent footer link that reopens the cookie preference center so you can change or withdraw consent at any time and opt out of sale/share-related or targeted advertising technologies where applicable. |
| Global Privacy Control | Where required by applicable law and technically supported, a legally recognized browser-based opt-out signal such as Global Privacy Control will be treated as an opt-out request for the browser or device sending the signal. |
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some website features may not function properly.
| Category | Purpose | Consent status |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary and Security Cookies | Enable core website functionality, remember consent preferences, manage traffic, protect forms, detect bots, prevent spam or abuse, and support website security. | Always active because the website cannot function securely without them. |
| Functional Cookies | Enable optional functionality such as live chat, embedded media, social media features, and user experience enhancements. | Blocked unless you consent, unless a specific cookie is strictly necessary for security or core functionality. |
| Analytics Cookies | Help us understand website traffic, page views, visitor sources, navigation patterns, and website performance. | Blocked unless you consent. |
| Advertising, Retargeting, and Attribution Cookies | Support advertising measurement, retargeting, campaign attribution, conversion measurement, and similar marketing activities. | Blocked unless you consent. You may later opt out or withdraw consent through Your Privacy Choices. |
| Embedded Media and Third-Party Content Cookies | Support embedded videos, maps, social widgets, and similar third-party content. | Blocked unless you consent where the content or related tracking is non-essential. |

Some analytics, advertising, retargeting, and attribution technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws, even though Gov2Biz does not sell personal information for money.
Because Gov2Biz uses a stricter consent approach, these non-essential technologies are intended to be blocked unless you consent. You may later withdraw consent or opt out of sale/share-related or targeted advertising technologies through the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the website footer.
Where required by applicable law and technically supported, we honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as an opt-out request for the browser or device that sends the signal.
