Aphroa sets no cookies on your device when you read this website. It stores a few small settings in your browser, such as light or dark mode and your consent choice. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics load only after you accept them. Nothing from Google is requested before that.

What we use

We use two kinds of browser storage: localStorage, which stays until it is deleted or expires, and sessionStorage, which is removed when you close the tab. In this policy we call both “cookies”, as is common. We use three categories:

  • Necessary: remembers settings you choose and your consent choice. It needs no consent and cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics: counts visits and shows us which pages are used (Google Analytics 4 through Google Tag Manager). Only with your consent.
  • Marketing: lets us measure advertising campaigns and keeps Google click identifiers that reach us in a link. Only with your consent.

Change or withdraw your choice

You can open your choices at any time: (the same link is in the footer of every page). If you withdraw consent, Google tags stop with the next page load. You can delete stored items in your browser settings.

We use Google Consent Mode v2. Every visitor starts with analytics and marketing storage denied, in every country. Google Tag Manager is not loaded until you agree to analytics or marketing.

Items from other providers

  • Google (only after you accept analytics or marketing): Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 are provided by Google. They can set the items listed in the table above. See the privacy policy for the data and the transfer to the United States.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile (only when you start to fill in a form): the spam check loads from challenges.cloudflare.com at that moment, not when the page opens. Cloudflare delivers this website and may use technical storage for security. We do not set or read it.

We use no social-media plug-ins, embedded videos or external fonts. Our fonts are served from our own server.
