Cookie Policy
Google Services & Consent Management (Google Consent Mode v2)
We utilize Google services, including Google Analytics and Google Ads, to analyze website traffic and optimize our marketing campaigns. To manage your privacy preferences legally and transparently, we use Osano, a certified Google Consent Management Platform (CMP).
Osano automatically maps your choices on our cookie banner to Google Consent Mode v2. Depending on your selection, specific consent signals (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization) are communicated directly to Google to adjust tag behavior in real-time.
What happens if you grant consent?
If you consent to performance, analytics, or marketing cookies through our Osano banner, Google tags will deploy normally. They will store cookies on your device to gather data such as your interactions, demographic insights, and attribution details for personalized advertising.
What happens if you deny consent? (Cookieless Pings & Modeling)
If you decline or ignore analytics or advertising cookies, no tracking cookies will be dropped or read on your device by Google services. However, to maintain functional utility and measure aggregate site performance, our website utilizes Google’s Advanced Consent Mode.
In this scenario, Google tags send secure, anonymous “cookieless pings” to Google’s servers.
What is collected: These pings do not contain personally identifiable information or unique identifiers. They include only coarse, functional metadata such as a timestamp, browser type (User-Agent), referrer URL, and an indication of whether an ad click led to the page.
How it is used (Data Modeling): Google aggregates these anonymous signals to run mathematical behavioral and conversion modeling. This allows us to estimate aggregate website traffic and advertising performance without tracking you individually or building a personal profile.
For more information on how Google processes this information, please review the Google Partner Privacy Policy and Google’s Consent Mode Data Usage policy.
