Cookie policy

This Cookie Policy explains how 360ecom (“we”, “us”, or “our”), operating 360ecom.io, uses cookies and similar client-side storage technologies when you access our guides, articles, and interactive e-commerce calculators. We are committed to transparency regarding how data is stored on your device.

What are cookies and local storage?

Cookies are compact text files placed onto your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely utilized by online platforms to ensure site stability, remember user preferences, facilitate secure communication, and collect aggregated diagnostic telemetry. In addition to HTTP cookies, modern web applications may utilize browser localStorage or sessionStorage to store transient state locally on your machine.

Categories of cookies used on 360ecom

We classify the cookies utilized across our digital properties into the following operational categories:

1. Strictly essential infrastructure cookies

These cookies are indispensable for the core operation, load distribution, and security of 360ecom.io:

• Hosting & Network Security: Our hosting and CDN infrastructure may deploy automated session identifiers to protect against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attempts, enforce bot protection rules, and route traffic to the nearest geographic edge server.
• Consent State Persistence: When you make a choice via our consent banner, we set a cookie named 360ecom_cookie_consent. This cookie records whether you selected all or essential and persists for 180 days so our system remembers your preference without prompting you on every page load.

2. Analytics and performance measurement

To understand how readers discover and navigate our content, identify broken navigation paths, and evaluate page performance:

• Google Analytics 4: When configured and permitted by your consent selection, Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data. We utilize IP anonymization and Google Consent Mode v2.
• Consent Gating: The analytics_storage signal remains strictly in a denied state until and unless you explicitly click “Accept” on our cookie notice. If you reject non-essential cookies, Google Analytics scripts are blocked or run in cookieless ping mode without device storage.

3. Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)

To support the free availability of our calculators and technical guides without charging subscription fees or erecting paywalls, 360ecom displays contextual advertisements through Google AdSense:

• Ad Measurement & Personalization: Google and its authorized advertising partners may utilize cookies or unique mobile device identifiers to serve and measure advertisements based on prior visits to this website or other internet sites.
• Consent Mode Signals: In compliance with European data protection regulations (GDPR) and Google publisher policies, signals including ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization remain denied by default until affirmative consent is granted. Advertising units on our pages are clearly cordoned off with visible “Advertisement” disclosures.

Interactive calculators and zero tracking

A foundational design tenet of 360ecom is that financial calculations must remain private. Any numbers, formulas, prices, or store metrics you enter into our profit margin, ROAS, break-even, or developer calculators execute exclusively in client-side memory. We do not write your proprietary inputs to cookies, nor do we persist your financial calculations to server-side logs.

How to manage and disable cookies
