Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Golden West Packaging Group ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at http://www.goldenwestpackaging.com and https://gwpg-store.com/, and all subdomains thereof (each a "Website" and collectively the “Online Properties”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in our case, cookies are set by Golden West Packaging Group) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
You may set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers: Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera.
You can also exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. However, in a few cases, some of the features of our Online Properties may not function if you reject a cookie. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with our Online Properties.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our Online Properties. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Online Properties though your access to some functionality and areas of our Online Properties may be restricted.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Online Properties to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Online Properties for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Online Properties and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Online Properties or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve Online Properties performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Some websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our Online Properties, fraud prevention, and for other operations of our Online Properties.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our Online Properties.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may place cookies or web beacons on your computer or mobile device to serve you with advertising related to our Online Properties, as further described above. These companies may use information about your visits to our Online Properties and other websites where our advertisements occur in order to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these. Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.
