Cookies and local storage

Cookies are saved by your browser and may be sent with later site requests. Local storage (localStorage) keeps information in the browser without automatically sending it to the server. We use these mechanisms for the purposes below.

Form abuse prevention

Cloudflare Turnstile checks form requests. Its script loads when the form is displayed or used. The verification token is temporary, is validated on the server, and is not used for traffic analytics or advertising. This protection also works when you reject Analytics.

Essential preferences

These entries have no expiry programmed in our code. They remain until replaced, you clear site data, or the browser removes them. They are not used for advertising. Each browser and device stores its own choices; private browsing may shorten their lifetime.

• gg-consent — local storage remembering your analytics choice.
• gg-accessibility — local storage remembering text size, colour modes and other accessibility preferences.

Analytics, only with permission

If configured, Google Analytics 4 loads after you choose “Allow analytics” or enable it and save preferences. It can measure visits, pages viewed and site interactions.

Google may set _ga and _ga_<identifier> cookies. Its documented default lifetime is two years; service settings and browser limits can change the actual lifetime. These cookies are not necessarily present before acceptance or when Analytics is not configured.

Form fields are not sent to Analytics. Advertising storage choices remain denied in our implementation.

Google — GA4 cookie information

Rejecting or withdrawing consent

Choose “Essentials only”, or disable Google Analytics and save. The choice applies to later visits in the same browser. Rejection does not affect navigation or contacting us.

Withdrawal stops future collection through our implementation. It does not automatically delete data already sent or cookies already set by Google. Clear this site’s data in browser settings to remove existing cookies. Contact gdpr@glitzandgraf.com about previously collected data.

Clearing and resetting

Clear cookies and local storage through browser settings. You will be asked for your analytics choice again and accessibility settings will be lost.

“Reset” in the accessibility panel resets display options only, without changing analytics consent. Questions: gdpr@glitzandgraf.com.
