Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-11-04
This site uses essential storage to remember your cookie choice, and Google Analytics 4 to understand how buyers use the site. Analytics cookies are not set until you accept them; if you reject, Google Analytics runs with consent denied and does not use analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
1. What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wintel-cookie-consent | localStorage (essential) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics | Until you clear site data |
_ga | Analytics (Google Analytics 4) | Distinguishes users for aggregate traffic reporting | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<container> | Analytics (Google Analytics 4) | Maintains session state for Google Analytics | Up to 2 years |
We do not use advertising, retargeting or social-media cookies on this site. If that changes, this policy will be updated and consent requested where required.
2. How consent works
Google Analytics is loaded with Consent Mode. Analytics storage is denied by default; when you choose “Accept analytics”, the consent state is updated to granted. If you choose “Reject non-essential”, analytics storage remains denied. You can reopen the banner with the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
3. How to change or withdraw consent
Use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer to reopen the banner and change your choice. You can also clear cookies and site data in your browser settings; the banner will appear again on your next visit.
4. Third parties
Google Analytics is provided by Google. Google’s privacy policy explains how it processes data: policies.google.com/privacy. We do not sell personal data.
