Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 14, 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make sites work, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels) nordgaimer.com uses, and how you can control them.
Your choices
When you first visit the Website, a banner asks for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Customise your choice. You can change your preferences at any time via the "Manage cookies" link in the footer. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the site cannot function without them.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the site to operate and cannot be switched off. They include: "cookie_consent" (stores your consent choice for 12 months) and UTM tracking cookies (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, utm_term, gclid, fbclid — stored for 90 days to attribute enquiries to their original source).
Analytics cookies (consent required)
These cookies help me understand how visitors use the site. Set only after you opt in: Google Analytics 4 / Google Tag Manager (_ga, _ga_*, _gid — typically retained 2 years), Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk — typically retained 1 year), and Hotjar (_hjSessionUser_*, _hjSession_* — typically retained 1 year).
Marketing cookies (consent required)
If you opt in to marketing cookies, Google Tag Manager may set additional cookies to measure ad performance and tailor offers. These are off by default and only activate after you grant consent.
Google Consent Mode v2
The Website uses Google Consent Mode v2. Until you grant consent, Google tags set "ad_storage", "ad_user_data", "ad_personalization" and "analytics_storage" to "denied". This means no identifiers are stored and no personal data is sent for marketing purposes before your opt-in.
Browser controls
In addition to the on-site banner, you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may prevent parts of the site from working as intended. Common browsers: Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies. Safari — Preferences → Privacy. Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security.
Changes to this policy
I may update this Cookie Policy as the site evolves or as the cookies I rely on change. Updates are reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
