Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files placed on your device by websites. They can help a website work, remember choices, or collect information about how the website is used.

2. Essential cookies

We may use essential cookies or local storage where needed to make the website work properly, remember your cookie choice, protect forms, or maintain basic security. These do not require consent.

3. Statistics, analytics and advertising measurement

Weekly calculator statistics use broad, aggregated counts to improve the calculator. They start on unless you have rejected analytics or turned statistics off. No design file, contact details or visitor history is stored in these totals. Use the on/off control on the calculator, or the separate checkbox in Cookie settings, to object immediately and free of charge. The statistical-purposes exception applies to this limited service-improvement use. What is counted and how long it is kept.

With your permission, we may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed and how people find the site. On the calculator, this includes opening it, selecting a file, error categories, estimate results and continuing to an enquiry. These events include the manufacturing process but no filenames, design contents or enquiry text.

Google Analytics cookies are only loaded after you enable “Detailed analytics” and save your choices, or click “Accept all”. This also enables Seked’s calculator journey records: settings, prices and progress to an enquiry, retained for up to 30 days. Design-file sharing needs separate permission. The calculator still works if you reject analytics.

Advertising measurement is a separate, optional choice. If you enable it together with detailed analytics, Google Analytics may share consented measurement data with our linked Google Ads account to measure which adverts lead to confirmed enquiries. This can include page and campaign information and online or click identifiers. It is used to evaluate advertising effectiveness; personalised advertising and Google signals are disabled in the website tag. We do not send names, email addresses, message text or uploaded designs in these measurement events. Advertising measurement is not part of the weekly statistics exception.

4. Your choice

The banner has separate controls for weekly calculator statistics, detailed analytics and advertising measurement. “Save choices” applies your selections; “Reject optional tracking” switches all three off; “Accept all” enables all three. Advertising measurement requires detailed analytics, but analytics can be enabled on its own. The website and calculator work with all three off. File sharing remains a separate choice.

Use Cookie settings in the footer or the button below to stop optional tracking and choose again. “Reject optional tracking” turns off all three options. You can accept detailed analytics while leaving advertising measurement off. This immediately stops weekly statistics and further Google Analytics collection in the page and requests removal of calculator journey analytics for the current tab’s stored reference. Previously collected Google Analytics data is handled separately; contact us for privacy requests.

Storage used by the calculator and enquiry form

A short-lived seked_confirmed_lead_v1 session marker carries a random confirmed enquiry reference to the thank-you page. After analytics consent, seked_counted_leads_v1 prevents that reference being counted twice within the tab’s session. Neither contains your enquiry details. Direct visits and reloads of the confirmation page are not recorded as new confirmed enquiries.

seked_cookie_consent_v2 remembers your analytics and advertising-measurement choices, policy version and the date in local storage for up to 12 months, after which we ask again. You can change the choice sooner. Earlier analytics acceptance is renewed for these updated choices; advertising measurement stays off until explicitly enabled. A previous rejection continues to keep weekly statistics off until you explicitly change that statistics choice.

seked_calculator_statistics_v1 remembers your statistics preference and the related analytics-choice date in local storage until you change it or clear browser storage. It contains no visitor ID and is not sent to our statistics service. It is used only to honour your privacy choice.

After optional analytics or file-sharing permission, seked_calculator_session_v1 and seked_calculator_receipts_v1 in session storage hold random references and the tokens needed to manage your sharing choices. They normally clear when the tab’s browsing session ends. They do not contain your design file. Do not share these tokens with other people.

Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_* after detailed-analytics consent. Advertising-related storage, such as _gcl_* if used by Google tags, also requires advertising-measurement consent. We configure those analytics cookies to expire after 30 days without extending their lifetime on each visit. This cookie lifetime is separate from Google Analytics reporting retention, which is managed in the service settings. Cloudflare Turnstile protects forms and optional uploads against abuse. See our calculator privacy details for file retention and withdrawal.
