Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They can support essential functions, security, preferences, measurement and advertising. This policy also covers similar technologies, such as scripts that send information about your visit to a provider.

On your first visit, a banner from CookieYes, our consent provider, asks whether you accept cookies. You can accept all, reject all or choose by category. Analytics and advertising cookies are off until you accept them.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with the cookie button in the bottom-left corner of every page, which opens the cookie settings. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect anything that happened before you withdrew it.

If you delete your cookies, the banner asks again on your next visit.

CookieYes sets one necessary cookie, cookieyes-consent, which records the choices you made so that you are not asked again on every page. It lasts 12 months, after which the banner asks again.

When you make or change a choice, CookieYes keeps a record of it for us: a random consent ID, the categories you accepted or rejected, the date and time, the website and language, your country and your IP address with its last part removed.

If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics 4 measures how the website is used: which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive (for example from a search engine or an advert), their approximate location, the device and browser they use, and actions such as sending the contact form.

It sets the cookies _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID, which hold a random identifier so that visits can be counted. They last up to 13 months. Google Analytics keeps the detailed data for at most 14 months; we use its reports to improve the website, not to identify you.

We advertise with Google Ads. If you accept advertisement cookies, Google Tag Manager runs three Google Ads tags on the website: conversion tracking, which tells us when a visit that began with a click on one of our ads leads to an enquiry; remarketing, which lets Google show our ads to people who have visited the website; and the conversion linker, which keeps the details of the ad you clicked in a cookie on this website so that a later enquiry can be linked to it.

For these purposes Google may also set and read its own cookies on its domains, such as google.com and doubleclick.net, and uses the information under its own privacy policy. Advertising cookies last from 90 days up to 13 months. Google Tag Manager itself sets no cookies; it loads the tags described here.

The Google tags use Google Consent Mode. Until you accept, they neither set nor read analytics or advertising cookies. They may still send Google signals without cookies, such as that a page was viewed, the time, the type of browser and your consent choice, which Google uses to estimate visits and conversions in aggregate.

We use analytics and advertising cookies, and process the personal data they collect, only with your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and the EU and Lithuanian rules on storing information on your device).

The necessary cookie needs no consent, because it only remembers your choice. We keep the record of your choice because the GDPR requires us to be able to show that you consented (Article 6(1)(c) and Article 7(1) GDPR).

CookieYes Limited, in the United Kingdom, provides the consent banner and keeps the consent records for us. The United Kingdom is covered by an EU adequacy decision.

Google Ireland Limited provides Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Google Ads. Google may process the data in the United States and other countries. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and Google also uses the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

If you follow a link to another website, such as LinkedIn, that website’s own cookie policy applies.

You can also inspect, block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Google offers further controls in My Ad Center (myadcenter.google.com) and a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on all websites (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

We update this policy when the cookies or tags on the website change. Questions can be sent to hello@guardera.tech. How we handle personal data in general is described in the privacy policy.
