Last updated: October 24, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how I Run the Globe Inc.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Cookies allow the site to work properly (for example, to keep your cart and your currency), to remember your choices, and to understand how the site is used.

2. Your consent

When you first visit our website, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose by category. Until you make a choice, only the strictly necessary cookies are used, wherever you are located, including in Canada and the United States.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie icon at the bottom left of every page. Your choice is stored for one year, after which we will ask you again.

We use Google Consent Mode. If you do not accept analytics cookies, Google tags do not store any cookie in your browser and only send limited, cookieless signals that do not identify you.

Payments are processed by our payment providers (TD Bank / Bambora for payments in Canadian dollars, Bank of America / Cybersource for payments in U.S. dollars). They may use their own cookies or similar technologies to process and secure payments, under their own privacy policies.

United States. We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Analytics cookies are only used if you accept them, and you can withdraw your consent at any time with the cookie icon.
