This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies this website uses, why we use them and how you can change your mind at any time.
1. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Websites also use similar technologies — such as your browser's local storage — for the same purposes: remembering your preferences, keeping you signed in, or measuring how the site is used. In this policy, "cookies" refers to cookies and these similar technologies together. On this site we set no cookies at all unless you choose to accept them; by default, and if you decline, the only things stored are the strictly necessary local-storage entries listed below.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We group these technologies into three categories: strictly necessary, analytics, and marketing. You can accept all, reject the non-essential ones, or choose per category at any time in the consent banner or via the preferences link at the top of this page. Non-essential cookies are off by default and load only with your consent. The strictly necessary category uses only your browser's local storage — not cookies.
- Strictly necessary: Required for core functionality — remembering your language choice and your consent decision. These are stored in your browser's local storage, not in cookies, and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics: Used to understand how the site is actually used. If you accept this category we load Contentsquare, which measures where visitors click, scroll and hesitate and can replay how a page was used, and Google Analytics, which counts visits, pages viewed, forms sent and taps on our WhatsApp links. They set the first-party _cs_ and _ga cookies listed below. Anything you type into a form is masked in your browser before it is sent, so we do not collect it. Off by default; active only with your consent.
- Marketing cookies: used to measure the performance of our advertising. If you accept this category we load the Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms), which sets the _fbp and _fbc cookies, and Google Ads (Google), which sets the _gcl_au cookie. Off by default; active only with your consent.
3. What We Store on Your Device
Here is everything that can end up on your device, and for how long:
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| solidmaint-lang (local storage) | Stores your selected interface language | Until you clear it |
| solidmaint-consent-v1 (local storage) | Records your consent choice | Until you clear it |
| _cs_id, _cs_s, _cs_s_ctx, _cs_c (Contentsquare) | Recognises your session and device so page use can be measured. Set only if you accept analytics cookies. | 30 minutes to 13 months |
| solidmaint-ab-hero | Remembers which version of the homepage you were shown so it stays the same on your next visit. Set only if you accept analytics cookies. | 90 days |
| _ga, _ga_KSRF9J6XV6 (Google Analytics) | Tells visits and sessions apart so they can be counted. Set only if you accept analytics cookies. | Up to 2 years |
| _gcl_au (Google Ads) | Links a visit to the Google ad it came from so we can measure our advertising. Set only if you accept marketing cookies. | 90 days |
4. Third-Party Cookies
Depending on which categories you accept, the following third parties set cookies on your device:
- Contentsquare (analytics): loads only if you accept analytics cookies. Content Square SAS (7 rue de Madrid, 75008 Paris, France) acts as our processor and stores the data in the EU (Ireland); its staff and affiliates outside the EEA may access it, protected by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. It sets the first-party _cs_ cookies listed above. docs.contentsquare.com
- Meta (Meta Pixel): loads only if you accept marketing cookies. It sets _fbp (up to 90 days) and, when you arrive from a Meta ad, _fbc (up to 90 days) to measure and attribute our advertising. Data may be processed by Meta in the United States.
- Google Analytics (analytics): loads only if you accept analytics cookies. Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) acts as our processor; data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. It sets the first-party _ga cookies listed above.
- Google Ads: loads only if you accept marketing cookies. It sets _gcl_au (up to 90 days) to measure which of our Google ads led to a visit or an enquiry. Data may be processed by Google in the United States.
Apart from Contentsquare and Google Analytics (analytics) and the Meta Pixel and Google Ads (marketing), each loaded only if you accept the matching category, we use no advertising or analytics trackers, and we set no cookies at all until you accept one. You can withdraw consent at any time via the preferences link.
