Cookies and your choices
Cookies are small records a browser stores for a website. Grimor uses necessary cookies to protect forms and management sessions, and a preference cookie to remember your analytics and advertising choices. Analytics and advertising are controlled separately.
Use the cookie preferences button in the footer to reject optional measurement, choose channels separately or change a previous choice. Optional measurement does not start before your choice is saved. Rejecting it does not require you to allow analytics or advertising to use the contact form.
Cookies used by the website
Grimor.Net.Forms — necessary form cookie. Checks that a submission belongs to the same browser and limits access to another session’s result information. It is a browser session cookie without a fixed expiry date.
grimor.net.csrf — necessary management cookie. Helps check for forged requests during management sign-in and panel operations. It is a browser session cookie.
Grimor.Net.Server.Session — necessary management session cookie. Created only after an authorised panel user signs in successfully. It is a browser session cookie; its sign-in ticket lasts 12 hours and may be renewed during use. Signing out of the panel deletes this session cookie.
grimor_consent — preference cookie. After you reject optional measurement or save preferences, it remembers your analytics and advertising choices for 180 days. It contains a timestamp and permission values, not your form message. An expired or invalid preference is not treated as permission to measure.
These cookies belong to the website’s own host. A cookie lifetime is not the retention period for a server-side request or backup. A browser’s session restoration feature can affect how long it keeps session cookies.
Optional Google measurement
Analytics permission is used to measure page visits and saved request events with Google Analytics. Advertising permission is used to connect an advertising click with a later saved request using Google Ads. Allowing one does not allow the other.
An allowed service may use analytics cookies such as _ga and _ga_* or advertising cookies such as _gcl_*, and may use other browser storage. These are examples of names the service may use, not a complete list created in every browser. Google service settings and browser limits affect actual lifetimes; no single fixed lifetime is stated here for all Google cookies on this site.
Events created by the application do not include form fields. A Google connection can send Google an IP address, browser information and permitted measurement or advertising click information. See Google’s privacy explanation for its processing practices.
Maps and other links
The Google map on the contact page does not load automatically. Selecting the map loading button connects your browser to Google. The map can interact with an existing Google session and cookies. Loading the map is separate from analytics and advertising preferences.
The site’s Trustpilot verification meta tag does not itself load an external widget or a cookie. If you open an external link, the destination website’s data and cookie practices apply.
Changing preferences and deleting cookies
Withdrawing measurement permission stops new events for that channel; the page reloads after the preference is saved. This cannot recall requests already sent or in progress. An attempt to clear known measurement cookies does not guarantee removal of all Google browser storage in every situation.
You can inspect, delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies can affect form submission or management sessions. Deleting the preference cookie may mean you are asked to choose again on a later visit.
