Consent preferences — Words by Lia / Complianz
Cookies: cmplz_banner-status, cmplz_consented_services, cmplz_functional, cmplz_marketing, cmplz_policy_id, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_statistics. Their purpose is to remember your cookie choices, consent categories, selected services and the version of the cookie information. Configured duration: 365 days.
These cookies record choices; a cookie whose name includes “marketing” or “statistics” does not itself mean that advertising or measurement is running. Optional statistics remain subject to your choice. They are first-party cookies used by this site’s consent manager.
Language preference — Polylang
pll_language remembers the language of the last page browsed, so the site can retain your language preference. Default duration: one year. It is a first-party language preference cookie supplied by Polylang.
Session storage — WordPress
wpEmojiSettingsSupports is a sessionStorage entry used by WordPress to remember browser support for emoji display. It is browser session storage, rather than a cookie sent with every request, and lasts for the session.
Optional statistics — Google Analytics 4
_ga distinguishes browsers and _ga_* maintains measurement session state for the configured Google Analytics service. Their default duration is two years; browsers can shorten the effective lifetime. Cookie expiry is distinct from the Analytics data retention setting.
These optional cookies and Google measurement requests are used only after consent to statistics. Refusal does not prevent reading the site or submitting a quote request. Standard measurement concerns page visits and sessions; enhanced interactions, including form interactions, Google signals and advertising personalisation are disabled.
User and event data retention is set to 14 months. New activity renews the user identifier’s period, which can extend its retention beyond 14 months from the first visit. Standard aggregated reports are not governed by that setting. The privacy notice explains the data, recipients and international transfers.
Reserved administration — WordPress and Wordfence
Signing in to the reserved WordPress administration can involve authentication, settings and security cookies that are separate from ordinary visitor statistics. Wordfence wfwaf-authcookie* is associated with signed-in authentication and has a duration of one day. These cookies are not presented as cookies needed for every unauthenticated visitor.
Managing and withdrawing your choices
Use the cookie preferences control available on the website to review or change your choices, accept or refuse optional statistics, or withdraw a previous choice. The measurement scripts remain blocked before consent and after refusal. Withdrawal stops future optional measurement; it does not itself erase data already collected.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Deleting the cookie that remembers your choice may cause the website to ask again. Blocking necessary technologies can affect the corresponding functions. Browser settings and restrictions can shorten storage durations.
External links and content
The site does not load external embedded media, social widgets, third-party Google Fonts or advertising tags. Email, WhatsApp and LinkedIn links open the service you select. Those external services have their own privacy and cookie information. Do not share confidential documents before agreeing an appropriate method with Lia.
