Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 11, 2026
Almost every website uses small pieces of data stored in your browser to work properly. This page explains which ones GoInvoicePrint and the services it relies on use, what each is for and how you can control them.
Cookies and local storage
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep. It is sent back to the site each time you visit, so the site can recognise you or remember something. Local storage is similar but stays on your device and is not sent to the server automatically. We use both, and for the purposes of this policy we call them both "cookies" unless we say otherwise.
What we use and why
Essential. These make the site work and cannot sensibly be switched off:
- A session cookie, set only when you sign in, so our server knows that your requests come from your account. It is removed when you close the browser or sign out.
- Local storage that keeps your invoice draft, your saved invoice history and your light or dark mode choice. It stays on your device.
Functional. These remember a choice you have made:
- A language cookie (named googtrans) created by the language menu, which remembers the language you chose so the page can be translated on each visit.
Analytics. These help us see how the site is used:
- Google Analytics cookies, which give us statistics on visits, pages and devices. They do not tell us who you are.
Advertising. These support the ads that pay for the site:
- Google AdSense cookies, and those of its partners, which are used to show and measure advertisements and, where you allow it, to personalise them.
How long they last
The session cookie lasts until you close the browser. Local storage stays until you clear it. The language cookie lasts for up to a year. Analytics and advertising cookies last for periods set by the companies that create them, from a few days to a couple of years. Their names, purposes and lifetimes can change, so we point you to their own pages instead of listing exact figures that might go out of date.
Cookies from other companies
Google sets analytics and advertising cookies on its own behalf. We do not control them. Please look at Google's information on how it uses data from sites that use its services, and at its advertising settings, to see how its cookies work and how to manage them.
Your choices
- Consent messages. Where the law requires it, a message lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change your mind later.
- Browser settings. You can block or delete cookies and clear local storage in your browser. Doing so signs you out and removes saved drafts and history on that device.
- Ad settings. You can switch off personalised advertising in your Google ad settings.
- Analytics opt-out. Google provides a browser add-on that stops its analytics from collecting data about your visits.
- Language. Choose English in the language menu to remove the translation cookie.
What happens if you block them
Blocking advertising and analytics cookies does not affect how the tools work. Blocking essential storage means drafts and history will not be remembered, and you will not be able to stay signed in. Blocking the language cookie means the page will stay in English.
What a cookie actually holds
Most cookies hold only a short random identifier, a language code or a setting such as a colour mode. They do not contain your name, your invoices or your payment details. Our own local storage is different, because it does hold the content of your drafts, but it never leaves your device unless you choose to save something to your account.
Do we profile you?
We do not build advertising profiles ourselves. Any profiling for advertising is done by the advertising companies under their own policies and your consent choices, and you can limit it through the settings described above.
Shared and public devices
If you use a shared or public computer, sign out when you finish, avoid saving sensitive details in drafts, and clear the browser data afterwards. Because drafts live in local storage, the next person using the same browser profile could otherwise see them.
Changing your mind
If you accept or decline cookies through a consent message and later want to change your choice, you can reopen the consent settings where the site provides them, or clear the cookies for this site in your browser and make a new choice on your next visit. Browser settings that send a "do not track" signal are not applied consistently across the web, so please rely on the controls described above.
Changes
If we add new kinds of cookies, we will update this page and the date above.
