2. Marketing Cookies — Required Disclosures

Third-Party Ad Serving

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this website and other sites on the internet. This allows us to reach you with relevant messages across multiple platforms.

Advertising Partners

We work with advertising partners such as Google and Meta to deliver advertisements tailored to your interests across various websites and platforms. These partners act as independent data controllers for data they collect and process through their own services.

Remarketing

We use remarketing services to advertise to previous visitors of our website. After visiting our site, you may see our ads on other websites, apps, or platforms you visit. This helps us stay connected with interested prospects and clients.

YouTube and Display Network

Advertisements may appear across Google services including YouTube, Gmail, and the Google Display Network. These placements are targeted based on your browsing history, search behavior, and interests.

Tracking Technologies in Use

We use the following tracking technologies on this website:

• Cookies (first-party and third-party)
• Tracking pixels (Google Ads tag / gtag.js, Meta Pixel)
• Device identifiers (browser fingerprint, IP address)
• Conversion event tags
• URL parameters and referrer tracking

Advertising Measurement

We use conversion tracking to understand which advertisements lead to actions on our website — such as form submissions, calls, or project inquiries. This allows us to measure campaign effectiveness and allocate marketing budget appropriately. Conversion data may be shared with Google Ads and Meta for measurement and campaign optimization purposes.

Technologies Active on This Site

Advertising and analytics technologies active on this site include:

• Google Ads (gtag.js / Google Tag Manager)
• Google Analytics 4
• Google Remarketing Tag
• Meta Pixel (Facebook / Instagram)

Opt-Out from Personalized Advertising

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time through the following channels:

• Your Online Choices (EU): https://www.youronlinechoices.eu
• Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org
• Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info

Please note that opting out does not remove advertisements entirely — you will continue to see non-personalized advertisements based on other factors such as page content and general location data.

Cookie Preference Management

A clearly visible link labeled "Manage cookie preferences" appears in the website footer and in the cookie consent banner. Clicking this link triggers the cookie preference panel where you can accept or reject each cookie category independently. Essential cookies remain active at all times for security and functionality.

3. Consent Requirements and User Choice

Our cookie consent banner provides three clear options: "Accept All," "Reject Non-Essential," and "Manage Preferences."

• Accept All: Activates essential, analytics, and marketing cookies immediately. Preference stored for 12 months.
• Reject Non-Essential: Only essential cookies are active. Analytics and marketing cookies remain inactive.
• Manage Preferences: Opens a detailed panel allowing per-category toggle control. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.

The banner does not automatically disappear on page scroll or by closing — users must actively make a choice. This ensures informed, freely given consent.

Consent for EEA and UK Users

Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive this consent notice in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Marketing and analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request.

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Manage cookie preferences" in the website footer or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred while consent was valid.

4. Data Sharing with Advertising Partners

We share certain data with advertising partners for campaign delivery and measurement purposes. Recipients and the data categories shared include:

Google LLC

We share cookie identifiers, conversion events, anonymized behavioral data, and remarketing lists with Google. Data processing is governed by Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Data transfers to Google operate under Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.

Meta Platforms, Inc.

We share pixel events, conversion data, and custom audience information with Meta. Data processing is governed by Meta's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy. Data transfers to Meta operate under Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.

We do not sell personal data to third parties. All transfers to Google and Meta operate under Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable, providing appropriate safeguards. Data is processed for ad targeting and campaign measurement only — not resold to unaffiliated third parties. Google and Meta may use this data across their own platforms in accordance with their respective policies. We encourage users to review those policies directly.

5. Lead Forms and Contact Requests

When you submit a contact form, request a quote, or register interest in our services, we collect the information you provide. This typically includes your full name, email address, phone number, company details, and your message describing your project or inquiry.

• Consent: GDPR Article 6.1.a — You consent to contact by submitting a form
• Contract Performance: GDPR Article 6.1.b — Where a service relationship exists or will exist
• Legitimate Interest: GDPR Article 6.1.f — Our interest in responding to inquiries and following up on potential business opportunities

6. Google Services and Advertising

This website uses the following Google services:

Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 collects anonymized usage data, device information, and behavioral signals to help us understand how visitors interact with our site. IP anonymization is enabled by default. Data retention is set to 14 months from the date of collection. Users may opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

Google Ads conversion tracking records when a user completes a defined action (form submission, call, inquiry, or purchase) after clicking one of our advertisements. This data is used solely for measuring ad campaign performance and optimizing marketing spend.

Google Remarketing

Google Remarketing allows us to show targeted advertisements to previous visitors across Google's network of websites and apps. Remarketing lists are not created from sensitive data categories such as health information, financial status, religion, sexual orientation, or political views.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a container service that deploys tracking tags on our behalf. No personal data is collected by GTM itself; it acts as a neutral container for the individual tags listed above (GA4, conversion tracking, remarketing).

Google's advertising products are governed by: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

7. Meta Advertising Services

This website uses the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The pixel may record page views, time spent on site, specific conversion events (such as form submissions), and custom audience membership for retargeting purposes.

We do not use the Meta Pixel to collect sensitive personal data, nor to target users based on health status, financial situation, religion, political views, sexual orientation, or any other special-category attribute prohibited under Meta's advertising policies.

Meta acts as an independent data controller for data collected via its Pixel and processed within its own platform. Refer to Meta's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
