Cookies Policy
Effective upon publication | Last updated October 29 2026 | Go Designs Market LLC
Overview
Last updated October 29 2026. This Cookies Policy explains how Go Designs Market LLC uses cookies, local storage, pixels, software development kits, and similar technologies on godesignsmarket.com. It should be read with the Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small file stored on a browser or device. Similar technologies may store or read identifiers, preferences, or event information. Some technologies are essential for a requested service; others require consent depending on location.
1 Categories
Strictly necessary technologies operate authentication, account security, consent choices, load balancing, fraud prevention, cart, checkout, membership, downloads, and network delivery. The service cannot function reliably without them, so they are used where legally exempt from consent.
Functional technologies remember language, display preferences, and voluntary account choices. Where law treats a functional technology as nonessential, it is activated only after consent.
Analytics technologies help measure visits, searches, navigation, errors, performance, checkout events, and feature use. We use Google Analytics only after you accept analytics cookies. Advertising Signals, remarketing, and cross-site behavioral advertising will not be enabled at launch.
Affiliate technologies remember a valid referral so an approved affiliate can receive attribution after a qualifying order. They do not authorize an affiliate to identify an unrelated visitor. Payment and fraud providers may use their own necessary technologies during checkout.
2 Technology inventory
The table below lists the cookies and similar technologies used on godesignsmarket.com. Strictly necessary technologies are always active. The others are used only after you accept their category in the cookie banner or in Cookie Preferences in the footer.
| Name | What it does | Category | Duration | First or third party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
gdm_sid | Keeps you signed in and protects forms (it holds the security token that blocks forged requests). It is created only when you sign in, open the sign-in window or use a form. | Strictly necessary | 30 days | First party |
gdm_consent | Remembers your cookie choices so the banner does not appear again. | Strictly necessary | 12 months | First party |
gdm_cart | Keeps the cart of a visitor who is not signed in. | Strictly necessary | 30 days | First party |
gdm_lang_session | Remembers the language you chose while you browse without signing in. It contains no personal identifier. | Strictly necessary | Until you close the browser | First party |
gdm_pv | Lists the products you viewed today, only so the same product view is not counted twice in the statistics. It contains no personal identifier. | Strictly necessary | 24 hours | First party |
gdm_tz | Stores your browser's time zone so subscription periods and dates are shown correctly. | Strictly necessary | 12 months | First party |
gdm_lang | Remembers your language for future visits. | Functional (only with consent) | 12 months | First party |
gdm_lang_hint | Remembers that you already chose a language, so the "view the site in Spanish" notice does not appear again. Without functional consent, it is kept only for the current visit. | Functional (only with consent); without consent, only for the visit | 12 months with consent; otherwise until you close the browser | First party |
gdm_ref | Remembers the affiliate link you arrived from, so the affiliate can receive a commission if you buy. Until you make a choice, the referral is kept only in your session, and it is discarded if you reject affiliate cookies. | Affiliate (only after you accept) | 30 days | First party |
gdm_filters_hidden | Local storage: remembers whether you hid the filters panel in the catalog. | Functional (only with consent) | Until you delete it | First party |
gdm_stats | Local storage: remembers whether a designer shows or hides the statistics in the Designer Panel. | Functional (only with consent) | Until you delete it | First party |
_ga, _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics: distinguishes visits to measure traffic and improve the store, without advertising or Google Signals. | Analytics (only with consent) | Up to 24 months | Third party (Google) |
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Stripe: fraud prevention when you pay or save a card. | Strictly necessary | 1 year (__stripe_mid) and 30 minutes (__stripe_sid) | Third party (Stripe) |
| PayPal | PayPal: security and checkout when you pay with PayPal, on PayPal's domains. | Strictly necessary | Set by PayPal | Third party (PayPal) |
| Google, Apple | Sign in with Google or Apple, only if you use those buttons, on their domains. | Strictly necessary | Set by Google or Apple | Third party (Google, Apple) |
__cf_bm, cf_clearance | Cloudflare: bot protection and network security, set only when a security check is needed. | Strictly necessary | 30 minutes (__cf_bm); the period set by Cloudflare (cf_clearance) | Third party (Cloudflare) |
Third-party providers control the names and durations of their own technologies and can change them; your browser storage shows the current inventory on your device.
We will not intentionally place Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, third-party ad-retargeting cookies, or similar behavioral-advertising technologies at launch.
3 Consent choices
Where consent is required, the first-visit banner provides equally accessible choices to Accept all, Necessary only, or Configure. Nonessential technologies remain off until an affirmative choice. Continuing to browse is not treated as consent. Consent is recorded so we can honor and demonstrate the choice.
You may change or withdraw consent at any time through Cookie Preferences in the footer. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing but stops future placement or reading of the disabled category, subject to technologies already stored until deleted or expired.
Necessary technologies cannot be disabled through the consent center because they support requested functions. You may block them in the browser, but sign-in, carts, payments, security, downloads, or other features may fail.
4 Third parties
Cloudflare may use security, network, bot-management, and load-balancing technologies. Stripe and PayPal may use payment authentication, fraud, and checkout technologies. Google may use analytics and sign-in technologies when those functions are selected. Payoneer may use technologies on payout enrollment or provider pages. Each provider also processes information under its own notice.
A link or embedded provider does not permit unrestricted tracking. We configure integrations to minimize data and disable optional advertising functions at launch.
5 Browser controls and signals
Most browsers let you view, delete, block, or restrict cookies and clear local storage. Blocking all storage may sign you out and break essential functions. Mobile operating systems may provide additional identifier and tracking controls.
Where applicable law requires it for a covered practice, we recognize Global Privacy Control. Because GoDesignsMarket does not currently sell personal information or use cross-site targeted advertising, that signal may not change the current experience. Do Not Track does not have a consistent industry definition, but we continue to evaluate legal requirements.
6 Retention and updates
Session technologies expire when the session or browser closes, subject to security needs. Persistent technologies remain for the period disclosed in the consent center or until removed. Consent records may be retained longer as evidence of compliance. Analytics event retention is configured to a limited period and reviewed periodically.
We will update this Policy and the consent center before adding a materially new nonessential purpose. If a change requires new consent, the technology will remain disabled until that consent is obtained.
