6. Detailed cookie overview

Stuwdio places analytical Cookies only with your consent, given through the cookie banner. You can change that choice at any time through “Cookie preferences” at the bottom of every page. We don’t place marketing cookies.

Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) helps us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages they view and whether they use the request form. These Cookies are placed only after you consent:

• _ga: distinguishes visitors. Retention: 13 months.
• _ga_4K23ZL3MDK: keeps the state of your visit. Retention: 13 months.

Google Signals and the advertising features of Google Analytics are switched off; we don’t use this data for advertising. Google may transfer data to the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More information is available in Google’s privacy policy.

We store your choice itself in your browser (localStorage, key stuwdio-consent), without a Cookie. This is technically necessary to remember your choice.

We also use technically necessary mechanisms required for the website to function. Our hosting partner Cloudflare may place limited technical cookies for security (DDoS protection, bot detection). See Cloudflare’s cookie statement for details.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless analytics tool that provides only aggregated, anonymised visit statistics. No cookies, no personal identifiers.

These cookieless statistics are separate from your choice in the cookie banner. We place analytical Cookies only with your explicit consent, in accordance with art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
