Cookie Policy | Near Me Boost

This Cookie Policy explains how Near Me Boost uses cookies and similar technologies on nearmeboost.com, and how you can control them.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites work properly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use a site.

Your cookie choices

Near Me Boost uses a self-hosted cookie consent manager. No third-party consent tool is loaded. The first time you visit, a banner asks you to Accept all, Reject, or Customize. Necessary cookies are always on. Analytics cookies stay off unless you accept them or turn Analytics on under Customize.

We store your choice in a first-party cookie named nmb_consent for 12 months. The cookie is set on nearmeboost.com, with path /, the Secure and SameSite=Lax attributes, and a value of analytics (analytics allowed) or necessary (analytics off). On later visits we read that cookie before Google Analytics is configured, so your choice is applied right away.

You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page, which reopens the banner. Saving a new choice updates nmb_consent and, if you turn analytics off, deletes any Google Analytics cookies already on this site.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat that as a rejection of analytics cookies and keep them off for as long as the signal is present, even if a previous visit had accepted them. You can still open Cookie settings to review the categories; analytics stays off while GPC is on.

How we use them

Necessary: needed for the site to load and function securely.
- nmb_consent — stores your cookie choice for 12 months.
- nmb_pricing — set when you request our full price list, so the list stays available on that browser for up to 30 days (path /pricing/).
- nmb_lead_evt — a short-lived cookie (up to 10 minutes, path /pricing/full/) so a “pricing request sent” event is not counted twice after you submit the form. It holds no personal details. The event is sent to Google Analytics only if you have allowed analytics cookies.
Campaign and referral details for a visit are kept in your browser’s session storage (see below). That is not a cookie. It is necessary for the pricing request form, so we know how you found us, and it is not used as advertising tracking.
Analytics: used only if you allow them. We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and understand which pages are useful. It sets the cookies _ga and _ga_* (typically kept for up to 2 years) to tell visits apart. This information is used in aggregate, and we do not send names, email addresses, phone numbers, or business names to Google Analytics. We do not use advertising cookies, and our consent settings keep Google’s ad signals (ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization) denied.

Session storage for campaign and referral data

When you arrive from an ad, email, or link with tracking tags, our site saves the UTM tags (source, medium, campaign, term, and content), any ad click ID (gclid, fbclid, or msclkid), the page you first landed on, and the referring website in your browser’s session storage under the key nmb_attr. It is not a cookie and is not sent to us on each page view. It stays in your browser for that visit only and clears when you close the tab. If you submit the pricing request form, these details are sent along with your request so we know how you found us. If you arrive later from a different tagged link during the same visit, the newer details replace the older ones. This still works if you reject analytics cookies, because it is how the form functions, not a tracking cookie.

Our site serves its fonts and images from our own server. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

Third-party sites

When you click “Book a Call,” you’re taken to Google Calendar’s booking page, which may set its own cookies under Google’s policies. Other external links are governed by those sites’ policies.

Managing cookies

Use Cookie settings in the footer to change your analytics choice, or block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how parts of the site work, including the full price list and remembering your cookie choice.

Changes

We may update this policy as our site changes. The date above shows the latest version.
