In short
- This marketing website uses Google Analytics 4; analytics cookies are set only if you click "Accept" in the cookie banner. No advertising tools are installed.
- In the application, only strictly necessary cookies for sessions and security run without consent.
- Optional tools such as analytics and error session replay run only if you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can withdraw at any time.
- If we add another measurement or advertising tool, we will update this page first and ask for prior consent where required.
- We treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as a refusal of optional tracking.
This summary is for convenience only and is not binding. The full text below governs.

1. Scope and responsible company
This policy applies to the following surfaces operated by AKIN INDUSTRIES LLC (11500 Main St. Suite 126, Houston, TX 77025, United States of America): this marketing website, the Custombull application at app.custombull.com, the order tracking pages that sellers share with their buyers, and emails we send or that sellers send through the Marketing Center.
How personal data collected through cookies is handled is described in our Privacy Policy.
3. This marketing website
This marketing website uses Google Analytics 4 to measure visits in aggregate. The Google tag loads with Google Consent Mode: until you click Accept in the cookie banner, no analytics or advertising cookies are set and Google receives only cookieless signals that do not identify you. If you reject, or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, no cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie preferences link at the bottom of the page. No Meta Pixel or other advertising tool is installed. Fonts are served from our own server.
| Technology | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Server security logs (IP address, browser details, requested page) | Preventing abuse and debugging. Not a cookie; nothing is stored in your browser. | Not required (legitimate interest) |
| Product images (cloud file storage) | Showing catalog and product photos. As with any web request, the image server sees your IP address; we set no cookies. | Not required |
| Google Tag Manager (Google LLC) | A container that loads measurement tags. It sets no cookies itself; the tags it loads follow your cookie choice. | Not required; tags inside it set cookies only with consent |
| Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) | Measuring in aggregate which pages are used and how. Cookies: _ga, _ga_<id>. | Consent only; up to 13 months |
| Cookie choice record (browser storage, cb-consent) | Remembers your banner decision so the banner does not reappear. | Strictly necessary; 12 months |
| Newsletter sign-up form | If you submit it, we store your email, chosen topics, the source page and the time of consent. No cookies are used. | Your submission and consent box |
If we add another analytics or advertising tool to this website, we will update this table before the tool starts working and ask for your consent again. For visitors in the United States we will provide an opt-out link for targeted advertising and honor GPC signals.
4. The Custombull application
| Category | What it does | Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session | Keeps you signed in as you move between pages. | For the session; longer if you choose "remember me" | Strictly necessary |
| Security (CSRF protection, two factor sign-in flow) | Prevents forged requests on your behalf and protects sign-in. | For the session | Strictly necessary |
| Language and interface preference | Remembers your language and basic interface settings. | Up to 12 months | Strictly necessary |
| Cookie choice record | Stores your cookie banner decision so the banner does not reappear. | Up to 12 months | Strictly necessary |
| Usage analytics | Measures in aggregate which screens are used, helping us improve the product. | Depends on the tool, at most 13 months | Consent only |
| Error session replay | Lets us reconstruct the steps before an error. Form inputs and text are masked. | For the session; records kept up to 90 days | Consent only |
When you connect a marketplace (such as Etsy, Shopify, eBay or Amazon) or choose "Sign in with Google", you are redirected to that platform's own page, where its cookies and policies apply.
The Chrome extension keeps its session and settings in the browser's extension storage. It only runs on marketplace message pages you open and for actions you start; it does not collect your browsing history.
5. Buyer tracking pages
Order tracking pages that sellers share with their buyers use only strictly necessary technologies: loading the page securely, submitting question and personalization forms, and preventing abuse. We do not run analytics, advertising or social media trackers on these pages.
6. Measurement in emails
Transactional emails (account, order and security notices) rely on the delivery provider's technical records to monitor delivery.
Marketing emails may contain an invisible pixel and redirecting links to measure opens and clicks. Sellers use this in the Marketing Center to see which campaign led to a sale; in that case the seller is the controller and we are the processor. To block this measurement, turn off automatic image loading in your email program or unsubscribe; every marketing email has a one click unsubscribe link.
Sellers are responsible for obtaining any consent required for measurement in the marketing emails they send to their buyers (in particular for recipients in the EU, the UK and Türkiye).
7. Managing your choices
- Cookie banner: in the application you can choose "Necessary only" or "Accept all". You can change your decision at any time from the cookie settings link in the footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
- Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends a GPC signal, we apply it as a refusal of optional analytics and advertising cookies, wherever you are located.
- Browser settings: you can delete or block cookies in your browser. If you block strictly necessary cookies, you may not be able to sign in.
- Advertising settings: we do not use advertising cookies today. If we start, we will list industry opt-out tools on this page as well.
8. Legal framework

9. Changes
