This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies Cakglo Ltd ("Cakglo", "we", "us") uses on cakglo.com, why we use them, and how you control them. It supplements our Privacy & Cookie Policy, which describes how we handle personal data overall.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. We also use similar technologies such as browser localStorage (for example, to remember your cookie choice). In this policy "cookies" covers all of these.
2. How consent works on this site
On your first visit you see a consent banner. Non-essential tools load only after you accept — and only once you start interacting with the page. If you decline, no analytics or advertising cookies are set. We operate Google Consent Mode v2: until you accept, Google tools store no analytics or advertising cookies and receive only cookieless consent signals.
3. Cookies and tools we use
| Tool / cookie | Category | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cakglo_consent (localStorage) | Essential | Remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies, so the banner does not reappear | Cakglo (first party) | Until you clear site data |
Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) | Analytics — consent required | Aggregate statistics: pages viewed, traffic sources, approximate location, device | Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC | Up to 13 months |
Inspectlet (__insp_*) | Analytics — consent required | Anonymised session recordings and heatmaps to improve usability; form keystrokes are masked/excluded where configured | Inspectlet (Userlytics) | Up to 12 months |
Tawk.to (twk_*, TawkConnectionTime) | Functional | Live-chat widget — keeps your chat session connected | tawk.to inc. | Session / up to 6 months |
We do not run advertising or retargeting cookies on this site. If that changes, this policy and the consent banner will be updated first.
4. Changing or withdrawing your choice
- Change your decision: clear this site's cookies/local storage in your browser — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
- Email us: info@cakglo.com — we will action your request.
- Browser controls: every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies per site (usually under Settings → Privacy). Blocking essential storage may make the banner reappear on each visit.
- Google opt-out: you can additionally install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
5. Third-party processing and transfers
The providers above process data on our behalf under data-processing agreements. Some are based in the United States; transfers are protected by EU/UK Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Details are in our Privacy & Cookie Policy.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example when a tool is added or removed. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
