Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 October 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how The Globals ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website https://theglobals.co (the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, The Globals) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive content, video streaming, and analytics).
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:
- Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
- Performance and analytics cookies (opt-in): Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics 4, measurement ID
G-0PWTEC5K46) counts visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve performance. These are off by default and only run after you choose “Accept” or enable Analytics in preferences. - Functionality cookies (opt-in): These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and video player settings.
We do not serve advertisements and we do not use marketing or advertising cookies.
Cookie categories, purposes and legal bases
| Category | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR / KVKK) | Default state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Authentication, security, consent storage, fraud prevention, load balancing | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)), Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)), KVKK m. 5/2-ç | Always on (cannot be disabled) |
| Functionality (opt-in) | Video player preferences (Vimeo), UI personalisation, language/region settings | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), KVKK m. 5/1 — optional | Off until you enable |

Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Stores your detailed cookie consent choices (kept in local storage) | 1 year | First-party |
| firebase-auth | Firebase Authentication session management | Session | First-party |
2. Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| vuid | Vimeo video player usage history and preferences | 2 years | Third-party (Vimeo) |
3. Analytics Cookies (opt-in)
Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics 4) counts visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve performance. These cookies are only set after you consent to Analytics. Until then, Consent Mode keeps analytics storage denied and no analytics events are sent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 — distinguishes visitors (only after consent) | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
| _ga_G-0PWTEC5K46 | Google Analytics 4 — persists session state for this property (only after consent) | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
Analytics data is pseudonymous (page views, session duration, device and browser type, coarse location from IP; IP is not stored in a form that identifies you). It is retained for up to 14 months and may be processed in the US under Google's Standard Contractual Clauses. See Google's Privacy & Terms and our Privacy Policy.
How to Control Cookies
When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences for different cookie categories. Analytics and functionality cookies stay off until you opt in.
You can change your mind at any time via the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer — it re-opens your preferences without clearing your existing choice. Rejecting Analytics disables Firebase Analytics immediately (Consent Mode: denied). You can also control cookies through your browser settings and via Google's opt-out add-on.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable cookies, some features of our website may not function properly: you may not be able to log in to your account, your preferences and settings may not be saved, some interactive features may not work, and video content may not load properly.
