Ads, analytics, and similar technologies
- Bizoo records analytics events such as page views, search, ad impressions, ad clicks, conversions, session events, paths, referrer domains, language, device type, browser, operating system, country or region, IP prefix, and limited event properties.
- Ad measurement can include placement, page URL, device type, IP address, user agent, referrer, time visible, click destination, conversion value, cost, billable status, and fraud signals.
- We avoid using private messages, full payment card data, or uploaded verification documents to build advertising profiles.
- Online behavioral advertising may be treated as personal information processing under Canadian privacy guidance and as sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling under some U.S. state laws. Bizoo will provide applicable choices where those laws apply.
- When analytics consent is enabled, Bizoo may record the public landing type and limited campaign parameters such as utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign so referrals from search engines, AI assistants, and campaigns can be measured. Private message and content bodies are excluded.
- When Google AdSense is enabled, Google is an advertising technology provider. Google may collect and use data as described in Google's privacy documentation to serve, measure, and protect ads. Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland receive Google's certified consent-management message before Google serves personalized ads.
Manage your choices
- Use Bizoo cookie settings to accept all, accept only essential technologies, or choose specific categories.
- Use your browser controls to delete cookies, block third-party cookies, clear local storage, or limit tracking technologies.
- Use device or browser privacy features, including legally recognized opt-out signals where required and technically supported.
- If you clear cookies or use a new browser or device, you may need to set your choices again.
Disabling optional cookies does not remove all server logs, security records, billing records, profile-closure records, or analytics data that Bizoo is allowed or required to keep for security, compliance, fraud prevention, or service operation. Account deletion and business profile closure are handled through their own settings workflows.

We may update this Cookie Policy as Bizoo features, cookie names, providers, legal requirements, or browser technologies change. Material changes may cause Bizoo to ask for updated cookie choices.
