What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how you use it, and — with your consent — show you relevant advertising when you browse elsewhere online.
How We Use Cookies
We use three categories of cookies on transylvanianwindows.com:
| Category | Cookie / Provider | Purpose | Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie (first-party) | Keeps the site working — form submissions, navigation state, security | Session | Not required | |
| Cookie consent (first-party) | Remembers your cookie preferences so we don't ask every visit | 1 year | Not required | |
| Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) | Counts page visits, measures traffic sources, and shows which content is most popular — helps us improve the site | 2 years | Required | |
| Google Ads (IDE, _gcl_au) | Shows Transylvanian Windows ads to people who have visited our site when they browse Google Search and partner websites | 13 months | Required | |
| Meta Pixel (_fbp) | Enables retargeting ads on Facebook and Instagram for visitors who didn't request a quote | 3 months | Required |
Why This Matters for You
When you accept analytics and marketing cookies, here's what it means practically:
- Analytics cookies help us understand which window systems get the most interest, where visitors drop off, and how to improve our content — we never see your personal identity, only aggregated data
- Marketing cookies mean that if you browse our aluminium windows but don't request a quote, you may see a Transylvanian Windows ad reminder on Google or Instagram — this is retargeting
- You can opt out at any time without affecting your ability to use the website
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can update your preferences at any time:
- Our cookie banner — click "Cookie Settings" at the bottom of any page to review and change your choices
- Your browser — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies in Settings → Privacy
- Google Analytics opt-out — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Meta opt-out — manage ad preferences at facebook.com/settings
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services (Google, Meta). We do not control these cookies directly — please refer to their privacy policies for full details:
