Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
This page lists every cookie and browser storage item this website uses, why it is there, how long it stays and how to change your choice. The site works fully without the optional ones, and nothing optional is stored until you accept the cookie banner.
What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies and browser storage are small pieces of data a website keeps in your browser. Some are needed for the site to remember a choice you made. Others, such as advertising measurement, are optional and only used if you agree.
Storage the site needs
grotics-consent (local storage): remembers whether you accepted or declined the cookie banner, so we do not ask on every page. Kept until you clear this site’s data or use Cookie settings.
grotics-theme (local storage): remembers light or dark mode, only if you pick one with the switch in the header. Kept until you clear this site’s data.
These two items are first-party, are not shared with anyone and are not used to follow you across other websites. They do not need your consent.
Only if you accept
grotics-attribution (session storage): the page you landed on, the referring site and any campaign tags in the address (such as utm_source, fbclid or gclid). Until you accept, the site keeps none of it. After you accept, it is attached to a project brief only if you send one, and it is deleted when you close the tab, when you decline or when you change your choice.
Meta Pixel: if ad measurement is switched on for this site, accepting also loads the Meta Pixel from connect.facebook.net. Meta then sets its own cookies (such as _fbp) to tell us which ads lead to visits and enquiries. Meta keeps that data under its own policy, at facebook.com/policy/cookies.
Google Analytics: if Google Analytics is switched on for this site, accepting also loads it from www.googletagmanager.com. Google then sets the cookies _ga and _ga_<ID> (where <ID> is this site’s measurement id) so we can count visits and see which pages help. The cookies last up to 2 years, and Google keeps the data for at most 14 months. It loads only after you accept, and you can withdraw at any time with Cookie settings in the footer, which switches it off and deletes those cookies. Google handles that data under its own policy, at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Google Tag Manager: if Google Tag Manager is switched on for this site, accepting also loads it from www.googletagmanager.com. Tag Manager is a Google service that loads Google’s measurement tags, such as Google Analytics, only after you accept; those tags set the same _ga and _ga_<ID> cookies for the same purpose. The cookies last up to 2 years, and Google keeps the data for at most 14 months. You can withdraw at any time with Cookie settings in the footer, which stops the site sending it events, tells Google’s tags that consent was withdrawn and deletes those cookies.
If you choose Decline or ignore the banner, the attribution note is never written and neither the pixel, Google Analytics nor Google Tag Manager loads, so neither Meta nor Google sets cookies through this site.
Other services
Fonts, images and videos are served from this site, so they make no requests to other companies. Links to WhatsApp, LinkedIn or a booking page take you to those services, which set their own cookies under their own policies once you are on their sites.
The project brief and contact forms send what you type only when you press send. They load no reCAPTCHA or other third-party scripts and set no cookies.
The newsletter sign-up form works the same way: it sends your details only when you press Subscribe, sets no cookies and loads no third-party script.
Changing your choice
Use Change my choice at the top of this page, or Cookie settings at the bottom of any page, to see the banner again and change your answer; changing it deletes the attribution note and the Google Analytics cookies, whether they were set directly or through Google Tag Manager. You can also clear this site’s data in your browser settings, which removes everything listed here, or set your browser to block cookies. The site keeps working either way.
Changes to this policy
If the site starts using a new cookie or storage item, we add it to this page before it goes live and update the date above.
