Cookie Statement

This Cookie Statement explains how Elm Electrical uses cookies and similar technologies on elmelec.com. How we handle personal information in general is described in our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used, or come from services we embed.

Cookies we use

Necessary

  • csrf_https-contao_csrf_token (elmelec.com, until you close your browser): protects our contact form and newsletter sign-up against forged submissions. Set only when you use a form.

Statistics (Google Analytics)

  • _ga and _ga_<ID> (elmelec.com, 13 months): Google Analytics counts visits and shows us which pages are used, so we can improve the site. Google processes this information on our behalf. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Embedded content

  • YouTube (youtube.com / youtube-nocookie.com): our videos are embedded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode. YouTube may store information in your browser once you play a video. See Google’s privacy policy.
  • Google Maps (google.com): the map on our contact page is loaded from Google.

Fonts and icons (Google Fonts, Font Awesome) and some scripts (jQuery, Slick) are loaded from content delivery networks. They do not set cookies on elmelec.com, but those providers receive your IP address when your browser requests the files.

Your choice

When you first visit, a cookie banner asks which cookies you accept. Until you choose, only the essential cookies are used: Google Analytics, YouTube videos and Google maps load only after you accept them (videos and maps show a placeholder you can click to load them). Your choice is stored in your browser for two years. You can change it at any time with Cookie Settings at the bottom of every page, or with this button:

How to control cookies in your browser

You can also delete cookies and block them in your browser settings (usually under Privacy or Security). If you block all cookies, our contact form may not work. Opting out of Google Analytics does not affect how the site works.
