Cookie Policy

Last updated: 13/04/2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Owners HQ Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on ownershq.com, manage.ownershq.com, and related sites (the "Platform").

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve how they work, and to provide information to site owners.

There are two main categories of cookies we use:

  • Session cookies: temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. We use these to make the Platform function.
  • Persistent cookies: cookies that remain on your device for a set period. We use these for analytics.

2. Cookies We Use

We only use cookies in two categories: strictly necessary cookies that make the Platform work, and analytics cookies provided by Google Analytics. We do not use any third-party advertising, marketing, or retargeting cookies.

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They include session cookies that keep you logged in, remember your actions across pages, and secure your account. Without these cookies, the Platform cannot work properly.

Cookie purpose Type Duration
Maintaining your logged-in session Session Until browser closed
Security and fraud prevention (e.g. CSRF tokens) Session Until browser closed
Remembering your cookie preferences Persistent Up to 12 months

These cookies do not require your consent because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you have requested.

2.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics, provided by Google, to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as:

  • The pages you visit and how long you spend on them;
  • How you arrived at the site (for example, from a search engine or direct visit);
  • Your approximate location (based on IP address, which is anonymised before storage where supported);
  • Your browser, operating system, and device type.

This information is aggregated and does not directly identify you. We use it to see which pages are popular, diagnose problems, and improve the Platform.

Cookie Purpose Duration
_ga Distinguishes unique users 2 years
_ga_[ID] Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 2 years
_gid (if used) Distinguishes users within a 24-hour window 24 hours

Google Analytics cookies are set only with your consent. You can manage your preferences at any time (see Section 4).

For more information on how Google uses the data, see: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

For transparency:

  • We do not use advertising, marketing, or retargeting cookies;
  • We do not use social media tracking pixels (for example, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, X/Twitter conversion pixels);
  • We do not sell or share cookie-derived information with advertising networks;
  • We do not use cookies to build profiles about you for marketing purposes.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our site, we show a cookie banner that lets you accept or reject analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot work without them.

You can change your preferences at any time by:

  • Clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of our website; or
  • Clearing cookies in your browser, which will cause the banner to appear again on your next visit.

4.1 Opting Out Directly in Your Browser

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Guidance for common browsers:

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the Platform, including login, from working.

4.2 Google Analytics Opt-Out

Google provides a browser add-on that lets you opt out of Google Analytics on all websites: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we change how we use cookies or if new legal requirements apply. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when the policy was most recently revised.
