Last Updated: May 5, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how 9x Innovations LLC (“9x Innovations,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our websites and through our GMB (Google Business Profile) management software-as-a-service platform (collectively, the “Service”). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy which provides more detailed information about our privacy practices.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use an application. They are widely used to make websites and applications work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website/application owner (in this case, 9x Innovations LLC) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website/application owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website/application (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
We may also use other similar technologies like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”), tags, and scripts. For simplicity, we refer to all these tracking technologies as “cookies” in this policy.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Service to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service and to provide analytics. Third parties serve cookies through our Service for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
