A clear approach to website cookies.

Essential Session Cookie

Contact and consultation forms use a temporary PHP session cookie to support CSRF protection. This cookie is required for form security, is not used for advertising, and expires when the browser session ends.

Optional Analytics

When a valid GA4 measurement ID is configured, the website offers a separate analytics choice. The Google Analytics script is not requested and analytics storage remains denied until the visitor selects “Accept Analytics.” The configuration disables Google signals and advertising-personalization signals.

If accepted, Google Analytics may process information about page visits, device or browser characteristics, referral information, approximate location derived from network information, and interaction timing. Google may set identifiers such as _ga or similarly prefixed cookies. Google’s services and the production configuration determine the exact cookie duration and processing.

Remembering Your Choice

The website stores the analytics choice in the browser’s local storage under asrcm_analytics_consent_v1. This preference is not used for advertising and allows the site to remember whether analytics was accepted or declined. Clearing site data removes the saved choice, after which the website will ask again if analytics is configured.

Your Choices

You may accept or decline optional analytics without affecting access to the website or contact forms. When analytics is configured, use “Cookie Settings” in the footer to change the choice. Declining or withdrawing consent prevents future analytics loading and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies for this site. Browser settings can also block or remove cookies and local storage. Blocking the essential session cookie may prevent the contact form from working securely.
