Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 18, 2024
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how GoFind ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and marketplace (the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
By using the Service, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.
2. 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, GoFind) 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., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons, including:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the Service to function properly
- Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our Service
- Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements
- Analytics Cookies: Help us improve our Service by collecting anonymous data
4. Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |

5. Affiliate Tracking Cookies
We use affiliate tracking cookies to credit our partners (affiliates) for referring customers to our platform. When you click on an affiliate's referral link, the following cookies may be set:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| referral_id | Stores the affiliate's referral ID to credit the referrer for any resulting purchases | 7 days |
| affiliate_referral_code | Stores the affiliate's unique referral code for tracking purposes | 7 days |
How Affiliate Tracking Works
- First-Click Attribution: The first affiliate link a visitor clicks gets the referral credit. This ensures fair attribution among affiliates.
- 7-Day Cookie Window: If a visitor makes a purchase within 7 days of clicking an affiliate link, the affiliate who referred them receives commission.
- No Personal Data: These cookies only store the affiliate's referral ID/code — no personal information about the visitor is collected.
- Session Storage: For short-term tracking, we also store the referral information in session storage during the browsing session.
6. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements, and so on. These include:
- Google Analytics: For website analytics and performance measurement
- Stripe: For payment processing and fraud prevention
- Facebook Pixel: For advertising and conversion tracking
- Hotjar: For user behavior analysis and heatmaps
- Cloudflare: For security and performance optimization
These third-party cookies are subject to the respective privacy policies of these third parties. We recommend that you review their privacy policies to understand how they use cookies.
7. How to Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by:
7.1 Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as some features may not work properly.

7.2 Cookie Consent Tool
When you first visit our Service, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals because there is no consistent industry standard for compliance.
However, you can control tracking through the cookie controls described in Section 7.
9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
We encourage you to periodically review this Cookie Policy to stay informed about how we use cookies.
