Cookies and audience measurement

Your choices for audience measurement and browser data. Last updated: 12 November 2026.

Service status

Google Analytics 4 is prepared but not enabled. No Google Analytics audience measurements are currently collected on this website.

Advertising trackers, Lovable’s optional built-in statistics and optional click tracking are disabled. The website does not offer advertising personalisation.

Stored items and retention

Consent choice — gig_cookie_choice_v1
Local storage in your browser, only after an explicit choice while the service is active. Purpose: respect your choice on later visits. Retention: 183 days from that choice.
_ga cookie
Google Analytics: distinguishes browsers for audience measurement. It is created only after activation and consent.
_ga_* cookies
Google Analytics: maintains session state. They are created only after activation and consent.

Google specifies a default expiry of two years for _ga and _ga_* cookies, which may be renewed on each visit. Service settings and browser limits determine their actual lifetime. See the GA4 cookie documentation.

Language selection uses the page address, without a language cookie. While Google Analytics is disabled, opening or closing the information panel does not record a choice in your browser.

Purpose, data and provider

Once enabled and accepted, measurement helps understand page use and improve the website. It may cover a pseudonymous browser identifier, configured pages and events, timestamps, referral source and technical visit characteristics. Connecting to the service also transmits the IP address.

The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, using Google LLC and processing in the United States. Your emails and professional case files are not sent to Google Analytics.

The selected retention period for future activation of user-level and event-level data is two months; this does not limit standard aggregated reports. See the GA4 retention rules. Recipients and transfer safeguards are described in the privacy policy.

Infrastructure and browser settings

Displaying and protecting pages requires requests to the host and its delivery network. These technical exchanges are separate from Google Analytics and advertising.

You can manage cookies and browsing data in your browser settings. Clearing local storage also removes the saved choice; a new choice will be requested if optional measurement is active.
