Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how FOMO Dispatch LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.fomodispatch.com. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and provide information to site owners. Cookies set by our own site are called first-party cookies; those set by external services are third-party cookies.
We also use localStorage — browser storage that functions similarly to cookies but persists until you clear your browser data. We use localStorage solely to remember your cookie consent choice.
2. Cookies We Use
We keep our cookie footprint minimal. Below is the complete declaration of all storage set on this site:
| Name | Storage Type | Category | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fomo_cookie_consent | localStorage | Necessary | Stores your consent choices so the banner does not reappear on every visit | 12 months | First-party |
| _ga | Cookie | Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes one visitor from another. Only set after you accept analytics cookies | 2 years | First-party |
| _ga_<container-id> | Cookie | Analytics | Google Analytics — keeps session state. Only set after you accept analytics cookies | 2 years | First-party |
3. Cookie Categories Explained
Necessary
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include the storage entry that records your consent preference. Without this, the consent banner would appear on every page load.
Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site — popular pages, visit duration, and traffic sources. We use Google Analytics 4 for this. It loads under Google Consent Mode with analytics storage denied by default, so no analytics cookies are written until you accept them. IP anonymization is enabled, and we never send Google your name, phone number, email address, or MC number.
Marketing
Marketing cookies track browsing habits to deliver relevant ads on other websites. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics 4 is the only third-party script we load. It is served by Google from googletagmanager.com, and it sets the first-party _ga cookies listed above once you accept analytics cookies. Beyond that:
- No Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, or remarketing tags
- No Facebook/Meta Pixel or social platform buttons
- No advertising networks or retargeting pixels
- No live chat or support widgets
Videos on our homepage are loaded from YouTube's servers when you press play. At that point, YouTube may set its own cookies subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
5. Managing Your Preferences
Our Consent Banner
When you first visit our site, a banner asks for your cookie preferences. You can:
- Accept All — allow all cookie categories (necessary, analytics, marketing)
- Reject All — allow only necessary cookies
- Manage Preferences — toggle individual categories on or off
You can update your choice at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page on this site.
Browser Controls
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser. Note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. Browser-specific instructions:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox — Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
6. Updates to This Policy
We will update this Cookie Policy whenever we add or remove cookies or tracking technologies. Material changes — such as adding a new tracking technology or a new cookie category — will trigger a new consent prompt so you can review and re-confirm your preferences.
