Advertising or tracking cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
NoBadge uses cookies exclusively to ensure the correct functioning of our platform and to understand how visitors interact with our website — helping us improve the product experience for SMEs across the UK and internationally.
These cookies are essential for the NoBadge platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the services you request — such as logging into your admin dashboard — cannot be provided.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| nb_session | Maintains authenticated user session in the portal | Session |
| nb_csrf | CSRF protection token to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| nb_lang | Stores your preferred language setting | 1 year |
| nb_cookie_consent | Records your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |
These cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter any errors. All data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. We use this information to improve the NoBadge website and product experience for SMEs.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users (anonymised IP) | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users (24-hour window) | 24 hours |
Note: Analytics cookies are only set if you accept optional cookies via our consent banner. IP addresses are anonymised before any data is stored.
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences or enabling live chat support. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| nb_ui_prefs | Stores UI preferences (e.g. sidebar state, theme) | 6 months |
| intercom-* | Intercom live chat — identifies returning users for support continuity | 9 months |
NoBadge does not use advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking cookies. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes. Our approach is minimal and privacy-first — consistent with our commitment to GDPR-compliant data processing.
Our cookie practices are governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR (retained post-Brexit), and the ePrivacy Directive (EU Directive 2002/58/EC as amended). The data controller is:

If you have accepted analytics cookies and wish to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies which we encourage you to review:
Used for anonymised website analytics. Google's privacy policy governs data collected via these cookies.
Google Privacy Policy →Used for customer support chat. Only activated if you engage with the support widget and functional cookies are accepted.
Intercom Privacy Policy →NoBadge's own cookies store data exclusively on EU-hosted servers.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices.

Everything you need to know about cookies and privacy at NoBadge.
No. NoBadge does not use any advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking cookies. We use only strictly necessary cookies for platform functionality, optional analytics cookies (anonymised, consent-based), and optional functional cookies for support features. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers or data brokers.
Yes, absolutely. Rejecting optional cookies (analytics and functional) has no impact on your ability to use the NoBadge platform. All core features — GPS clock-in, QR code attendance, leave management, reporting, and exports — work fully with only strictly necessary cookies enabled.
NoBadge's own cookies store data on EU-hosted servers only. For third-party cookies (Google Analytics, Intercom), data may be processed in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, ensuring GDPR-equivalent protection. Analytics data is anonymised before storage.
You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the website footer. Alternatively, you can clear cookies via your browser settings — see the browser-specific instructions in the "How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences" section above. Changes take effect immediately.
