Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Gemini's use of cookies and tracking tools means your browsing patterns, device identifiers, and potentially session data are collected and may be shared with third-party analytics and advertising vendors. The consent management code on the site indicates a differentiated approach for EEA/UK users (opt-in required) versus US users (opt-out model).

What you can do

  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Access Gemini's cookie consent settings banner on the website to review and adjust your tracking preferences. US users can opt out of analytics and advertising cookies; EEA/UK users must opt in for non-essential cookies.
