This policy explains how tolwerk.com uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them.
1. Your choice
When you first visit the site, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. The site works identically either way.
| Choice | What happens |
|---|---|
| Accept all | Google Analytics cookies are set and we record how the site is used |
| Reject non-essential | No analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is recorded about your visit |
| Global Privacy Control on | Treated as a rejection; the banner is not shown |
You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer of every page.
2. What we use
Strictly necessary. To remember your cookie choice we store a single value in
your browser’s local storage (tolwerk-consent). It contains only the words
granted or denied, is never shared, and can be cleared by clearing site data
in your browser. It is not used to identify you.
Analytics (optional). If you accept, Google Analytics 4 sets the following cookies to distinguish sessions and remember campaign attribution:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_<property> |
Keeps session state for our GA4 property | 2 years |
Provider: Google LLC. Data is processed according to Google’s terms for analytics, and IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4. Our property retains event data for 14 months.
We do not use advertising, marketing, retargeting or social media cookies.
3. Third-party services that may receive your IP address
Some elements load from third-party services and necessarily transmit your IP address: Cloudflare (site delivery and bot protection) and, if you accept analytics, Google Analytics. Cloudflare Turnstile may also set a challenge cookie while you submit the quotation form; it is used solely to distinguish people from automated submissions.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, and you can set it to send a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal. Blocking strictly necessary storage means the site will ask for your cookie choice on every visit.
