Cookie policy

1. Your choice

• On your first visit a banner asks you. “Accept all” and “Reject all” are equally easy.
• Before you choose, nothing is stored on your device and neither PostHog nor Google Analytics runs. After a reject, neither ever runs.
• Change your choice at any time: open the cookie settings, or use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw, PostHog and Google Analytics stop at once, the page reloads and their cookies and storage entries are deleted.
• We ask again 12 months after an Accept and 6 months after a Reject, or sooner if the tools on this page change.

2. What we store

• Necessary: et_consent

  Provider: Etimo (first-party cookie). Remembers your choice on the banner with a random code. Lasts 12 months after an Accept, 6 months after a Reject. Needs no consent because it only stores your choice. We keep a record of each choice to prove it: the random code, the choice, the date, the banner version, the page language and page address, without your IP address.

• Analytics, only with your consent: PostHog

  Provider: PostHog Inc., with servers in Frankfurt, Germany (EU). PostHog is a US company and may access data from the USA under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Purpose: count visits and see where our pages and the booking form are hard to use, including recordings of sessions with all text and every typed field hidden. Access codes and anything you typed are removed from website addresses before sending. Items: a cookie named ph_<project>_posthog with a random code, lasting 12 months; while a tab is open, a few entries starting with “ph_” in that tab’s session storage. The data goes to PostHog through our own address (etimo.cy/ph), which forwards no cookies. Your IP address is used for an approximate country; PostHog is set not to store it. No name, email or phone number is sent.

• Analytics, only with your consent: Google Analytics

  Provider: Google Ireland Limited. Data is collected through servers in the EU and stored on Google servers worldwide, including Google LLC in the USA, under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Purpose: count visits and see which websites and campaigns bring visitors. Items: two cookies, _ga and _ga_<id>, each with a random code, lasting up to 12 months, set only on etimo.cy. Page addresses are sent without access codes or anything you typed; only campaign tags (utm_) are kept. Google uses your IP address for an approximate location (country or city) and, for visitors from the EU, does not store it. Advertising features, Google signals and ad personalisation are off. No name, email or phone number is sent.

• Marketing

  None today. If we add ad tools later, we list them here first and ask you again.

3. Codes in the page address

Some links carry short codes in the page address, for example the code of the page or sheet you came from, campaign tags, or a random code that keeps the same page version for you during a test. These codes are part of the address. We do not store them on your device. How we use them: Privacy notice.

4. Our host’s security check

If our host sees an attack on the website, it may show a short security check page before our page. When your browser passes the check, the host stores a security session in your browser for one hour. This is strictly necessary to protect the website and needs no consent.

5. The rules we follow

Storing or reading information on your device needs your consent, unless it is strictly necessary for a service you asked for. This rule comes from the EU ePrivacy Directive (Art. 5(3)) as applied in Cyprus. Personal data in these tools is also covered by our Privacy notice.
