Cookie policy
How we use cookies on the Red Box Surveys website.
This policy explains what cookies are, how Red Box Surveys uses them, and your choices regarding their use. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the cookies described below unless you have adjusted your cookie preferences via the banner or your browser settings.
What are cookies?

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use our website. This data helps us improve the site and our content. Google Analytics collects information anonymously, including which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and how they arrived at the site.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Google Ads
We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing to measure the performance of our advertising and show relevant ads to people who have previously visited our website. Marketing cookies are only set if you consent to them via the cookie banner.
You can manage your Google ad preferences at Google Ad Settings.
Google Consent Mode v2
Our website uses Google Consent Mode v2. This means Google tags respect your cookie choices. If you reject analytics or marketing cookies, Google Analytics and Google Ads will not collect identifiable data. Some anonymised, cookieless pings may still be sent to Google to support basic measurement, but no cookies will be placed on your device for those categories.
Third-party cookies
We do not use any social media tracking pixels, Facebook cookies or third-party advertising networks beyond Google Ads. The only third-party cookies on this site are from Google (Analytics and Ads) as described above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. This policy was last updated in April 2026.
