This Cookie Policy explains how GVA AUTOMATION OÜ uses cookies and similar storage technologies on this website, and describes what is actually in use today. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information that a website stores in your browser and reads back on later visits. Websites can also use similar technologies, such as local storage or session storage, to save information in your browser. Some of these technologies are needed to provide a feature you have requested; others, such as analytics or advertising, are optional and require your consent before they are used.
2. What types of cookies can be used?
Cookies and similar technologies are generally grouped into the following categories. Not every category is necessarily active on this website — section 3 describes what is actually in use today.
- Strictly necessary / technical — needed to provide a feature you have requested, or to keep the website secure and working correctly.
- Preferences — remember a choice you have made, such as a language or display setting.
- Analytics / measurement — help understand, in aggregate, how visitors use a website, in order to improve it.
- Advertising / marketing — used to show or measure advertising, including across different websites.
3. Cookies currently used by this website
We reviewed the public website as an anonymous visitor to confirm what it actually sets. Before you make a choice in the cookie banner, this website does not store anything in your browser. The only item it sets is the cookie that records your choice:
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
gva_consent | HTTP cookie | This website (first party) | Remembers the cookie choices you made in the cookie banner or in “Cookie settings”, so we respect them and do not ask again on every page | 12 months from your last choice |
This cookie is strictly necessary: it is set only when you make a choice (including when you reject optional cookies), it records which optional categories you allowed together with a random identifier and the date of your choice, and it is not used for analytics, advertising or profiling. It is not shared with any third party.
4. Analytics and other optional cookies
This website uses Google Tag Manager, a tag-management service provided by Google, to load measurement tools. It is optional: nothing is requested from Google until you allow the “Analytics” category in the cookie banner or in “Cookie settings”. If you do not allow it, or you withdraw your choice, Google Tag Manager is not loaded.
When you allow it, your browser downloads the tag-management script from Google (www.googletagmanager.com). As with any request, this lets Google receive technical data such as your IP address and browser details. Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies, and we observed no analytics or advertising cookie being set through it.
5. Consent
Cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary to provide the website or a service requested by the user may be used without prior consent where permitted by applicable law.
Any non-essential cookie or similar technology — such as analytics or advertising — will not be activated before you have chosen to allow it. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time, as easily as you gave it, by selecting “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page. If you withdraw consent for a category, we delete the cookies of that category that this website can remove.
6. Managing cookies
You can also manage cookies and site storage through your browser settings, which generally let you view, delete or block them. Refer to your browser’s help resources for instructions, as these vary by browser and change over time. Blocking all storage may affect how some websites, including this one, work.
7. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the cookies or similar technologies used on the website change — for example, if we introduce optional analytics.
