Cookie Policy

    Last updated: 23 December 2025

    This Cookie Policy explains how GA.NU (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our services.

    This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

    1. What are cookies?

    Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide insights into how the site is used.

    Cookies may be:

    • Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
    • Persistent cookies (stored until they expire or are deleted).

    2. Which types of cookies do we use?

    GA.NU uses the following categories of cookies:

    2.1 Strictly necessary cookies (always enabled)

    These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, managing your account, or completing a checkout.

    Examples:

    • Authentication & security
    • Session management
    • Load balancing
    • Consent storage

    Legal basis: Legitimate interest / contractual necessity (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) & (f))

    2.2 Functional cookies (optional)

    Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering preferences or settings.

    Examples:

    • Language preferences
    • UI preferences

    Legal basis: Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a))

    2.3 Analytics cookies (optional)

    Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use GA.NU, so we can improve performance, usability, and content.

    We use:

    • Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via Google Tag Manager

    These cookies collect aggregated and anonymized data such as:

    • Pages visited
    • Time spent on pages
    • Device and browser information (in a privacy-safe manner)

    GA.NU uses Google Consent Mode v2, meaning analytics cookies are only placed if you give consent. Without consent, Google may receive limited, cookieless signals for modeling purposes only.

    Legal basis: Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a))

    2.4 Marketing / Advertising cookies (optional)

    Marketing cookies are used to measure advertising performance and show relevant ads.

    We use:

    • Google Ads (AdWords) via Google Tag Manager

    These cookies may be used for:

    • Conversion tracking
    • Remarketing
    • Ad performance measurement

    Marketing cookies are only activated after you give explicit consent. Without consent, ads may still be shown, but they will not be personalized.

    Legal basis: Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a))

    3. Google Consent Mode

    GA.NU implements Google Consent Mode v2.

    This means:

    • By default, analytics and advertising storage are denied
    • Cookies are only set after you explicitly accept them
    • You can withdraw or change your consent at any time
    • Google tags respect your consent choices automatically

    Consent signals used include:

    • analytics_storage
    • ad_storage
    • ad_user_data
    • ad_personalization

    4. Managing your cookie preferences

    You can manage or change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer or account settings.

    You can:

    • Accept all cookies
    • Reject all non-essential cookies
    • Customize which categories you allow

    You may also delete cookies via your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

    5. Third-party cookies

    Some cookies are set by third parties we work with, such as Google. These third parties may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

    Where applicable, safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are used.

    Third-party providers include:

    • Google LLC (Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager)

    6. How long are cookies stored?

    Cookie retention varies:

    • Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
    • Persistent cookies: stored for a limited period (e.g. 24 months) or until you delete them

    Consent preferences are stored to remember your choices.

    7. Updates to this Cookie Policy

    We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates the latest revision.
