Cookie Policy
CIRQUVIA uses consent-controlled Google Analytics to understand website visits and Google Ads to measure enquiries and contact clicks. This page explains the technologies, choices and controls.
1. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small data files stored on a device when a website is used. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, software development kits and device identifiers. This policy covers all such storage and access technologies used by the CIRQUVIA website.
2. Current website status
The website uses Google Consent Mode v2. Visitors can accept Google Analytics 4 (G-MRECKD1ZNT), Google Ads (AW-18368375160), both or neither. The Google tag loads only for accepted purposes. Withdrawal updates consent, removes accessible cookies for withdrawn purposes and reloads. Earlier Ads-only consent never activates Analytics.
Consent Mode defaults advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalisation and analytics storage to denied. Choosing Ads grants advertising storage and advertising user data; choosing Analytics grants analytics storage. Advertising personalisation remains denied and Google signals are disabled in the site tag.
The website is published through Cloudflare Workers and delivered and protected using Cloudflare infrastructure. After consent, Google Analytics may measure traffic source, page views, scrolls, outbound links, engagement time and approximate region or device data. Google Ads may measure contact clicks and saved enquiries. Google may set first-party analytics and advertising cookies. Cloudflare may process technical request logs and may set strictly necessary security cookies.
Accepting or rejecting optional Google measurement does not affect the availability of the website enquiry form, email or WhatsApp links. If Ads measurement has been accepted, a successful form submission or a click on a published sales email or WhatsApp link may be reported to Google Ads as a conversion, but the form fields and message are not included in those events.
3. Current category statement
| Category | Current position | Purpose and handling |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | May be set by Cloudflare to publish, route, protect or verify access to the site. | Used only for website delivery and security. Duration depends on the provider and the relevant browser session or security event. |
| Analytics | Used only after choosing Analytics. | Google Analytics 4 measures visits, sources, pages, scrolls, outbound links, engagement and the fact of a saved enquiry. It may set _ga cookies. Form fields, contact details and Lead IDs are not sent in analytics events. |
| Advertising measurement | Used only after choosing Ads. | The Google Ads destination (AW-18368375160) measures successful enquiry-form submissions and clicks on published sales email or WhatsApp links. It may set a first-party cookie whose name begins _gcl_ to retain ad-click information, normally for up to 90 days. The Ads destination is not configured before Ads consent or after its withdrawal; the current site does not enable remarketing or advertising personalisation. |
| Social-media embeds | Not currently used. The site uses ordinary external-link placeholders. | External services are opened only after you select a link. |
| Preference storage | Used to remember the visitor's consent choice. | A strictly necessary first-party cookie named cirquvia_consent stores the separate Analytics and Ads choices for 180 days. Earlier Ads-only acceptance is not reused for Analytics. Language selection uses ordinary links and is not stored. |
A browser recognised on a registered company network may receive a first-party __Host-cirquvia_internal cookie to keep company visits out of optional website measurement for up to 30 days, including after its network changes. It stores only a signed shared expiry, with no IP, account or visitor identifier, and grants no account access. Clearing this cookie removes the remembered exclusion; registered company networks are still excluded.
Cloudflare Web Analytics: we use Cloudflare’s Web Analytics script, which Cloudflare adds to pages as they are delivered. With our current setting, it does not collect data from visitors who connect through Cloudflare data centres in the EU or EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom; the data centre used depends on network routing. Where it runs, it runs regardless of the Analytics and Ads choices above. According to Cloudflare, it does not set cookies or use local storage, session storage or other browser storage. It reads page-loading performance measurements from the browser and sends them to Cloudflare with the page address and the referring page. Cloudflare states that Web Analytics does not log URL query strings and that, for this service, it discards the IP address at its nearest data centre. See section 15 of the Privacy Policy.
4. Strictly necessary technology
Technology is treated as strictly necessary only when it is essential to provide a service requested by the user or to secure the service in a way recognised by applicable law. A technology is not strictly necessary merely because it is commercially helpful. The consent-choice cookie is used so the site can remember and honour the visitor's decision. The Google measurement tag is non-essential and remains blocked unless the visitor chooses Analytics or Ads measurement.
5. Email, WhatsApp, social and marketplace links
When you follow a link to WhatsApp, a social network, Alibaba.com or another third-party service, that service may use cookies or similar technologies under its own policy. CIRQUVIA does not control the third-party service before or after you leave our website.
6. What happens before adding analytics or advertising
Beyond the Google Analytics and Ads tag and the Cloudflare Web Analytics script disclosed above, CIRQUVIA does not add other analytics, advertising pixels, session replay, embedded video, maps, chat widgets or social feeds unless it first:
- identify the provider, purpose, data, duration and transfer path;
- assess privacy and security risk;
- block non-essential technology until consent where the law requires opt-in;
- provide equally accessible accept and reject choices without pre-selected non-essential categories;
- record and allow withdrawal of valid consent; and
- update the technology table and repeat production scanning.
7. Browser and consent controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies. Blocking technology that is strictly necessary may affect site availability or security checks. The persistent “Cookie settings” control lets you review, reject or withdraw the Google measurement choice as easily as it was accepted. Withdrawing both choices stops the tag from loading on later page views; withdrawing one stops that purpose and removes its accessible Google cookies from the CIRQUVIA domain. Withdrawal cannot undo data already processed during a period of valid consent.
Google measurement choices and Cloudflare Web Analytics are separate: “Cookie settings” does not control Cloudflare Web Analytics. You can block that script with browser or extension settings; section 15 of the Privacy Policy describes its current scope and limitations.
8. Production verification and policy changes
CIRQUVIA reviews the site after material technology changes, including cookies, local storage, network requests and security-challenge paths. We update this page when the technology or applicable rules change.
