This policy explains the cookies and other browser storage used by this website. The site uses necessary technologies for core operation, security, forms and remembering your consent choices.
Consent choices
The website’s consent controls remember the choices you make. The following consent and optional provider storage is used or may be set after consent:
| Name or pattern | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
cmplz_* | Complianz consent banner, policy and category-choice state | 365 days |
wp_consent_* | WordPress Consent API category-choice state | 30 days |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 user and session distinction, after statistics consent | Provider default is up to 2 years; browser limits apply |
_fbp | Meta advertising measurement identifier, after advertising consent | Provider default is 90 days; browser limits apply |
lastExternalReferrer, lastExternalReferrerTime | Meta referral information in local storage, after advertising consent | No automatic local-storage expiry; cleared when advertising consent is withdrawn or browser storage is deleted |
The cmplz_* and wp_consent_* entries support the consent mechanism. Optional provider identifiers support measurement after consent; enquiry content is not sent. You can reopen the cookie-preferences control to review or change your choices.
Optional statistics and advertising
Optional Google Analytics 4 statistics and Meta advertising measurement run only after separate statistics and advertising consent. Global Privacy Control is treated as a refusal for both categories. Measurement is limited to the selected public pages listed in our privacy policy.
After statistics consent, Google Analytics 4 may set first-party _ga and _ga_* cookies. After advertising consent, Meta may use provider advertising identifiers such as _fbp. Exact provider and browser storage lifetimes can vary. Rejecting or withdrawing optional consent prevents future optional tags from running and clears known optional identifiers where the browser permits. Google Signals, Google user-provided data and Google advertising personalization are disabled. Meta automatic matching and automatic events are also disabled.
Managing cookies
You can choose whether to allow optional categories in the cookie controls and revisit that choice through the website’s cookie-preferences control. Your browser also provides controls for deleting stored cookies. Necessary storage may still be used when it is required for the website to function.
