This page explains what cookies datacloudhero.com uses, why, and how you can change your choice at any time.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are required for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Cookie	Purpose	Expires
cc_cookie	Stores your cookie preferences (which categories you accepted or rejected), set by the cookie consent banner.	182 days

These can't be switched off — without it, the site can't remember your choice and would ask again on every visit.

Analytics (only if you accept)

Cookie	Purpose	Expires
_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics (GA4, property G-23MF8B8LYG), loaded via Google Tag Manager. Used in aggregate to understand traffic and how the site is used - pages viewed, time on site, referral source.	Up to 2 years

These are only set after you accept the "Analytics" category in the cookie banner, or later via the Cookie settings link in the footer. If you decline, no analytics cookie is set on your device.

Google Consent Mode

Even if you decline analytics, Google's tags still send a small, cookie-less signal (no cookie is written, no personal identifier is attached) that Google uses only for aggregate, statistically-modeled reporting - not to track you individually. This is a privacy safeguard built into Google's own consent framework (Google's documentation), not something we can further restrict from our side.

Other technical cookies

This site is served through Cloudflare (for performance and security) and uses Cloudflare Turnstile on the contact form to block spam submissions. Both may set their own strictly-necessary cookies as part of that infrastructure, independent of the choices above.

Managing your choice

Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page to reopen the preferences panel and change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser's settings, though doing so may affect how parts of the site work.
