1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains cookies and similar browser storage used on www.anildesigner.com. It should be read with the Privacy Policy.
2. Your consent choices
On your first visit, non-essential analytics and advertising storage is set to denied. You can accept all optional categories, reject non-essential storage, or manage Analytics and Advertising / Marketing separately. You can reopen at any time.
3. Storage categories
| Category | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Core site functions, security, form-flow state and remembering your privacy choice. | Always available |
| Analytics | Google Analytics measurement to understand page usage, traffic and conversion paths. | Denied until allowed |
| Advertising / Marketing | Google advertising storage and consent signals if advertising features are used. | Denied until allowed |
4. Necessary browser storage used by this site
- anil_cookie_consent_v1 (localStorage): stores your Analytics and Marketing preference and the time it was updated.
- anil_pending_lead (sessionStorage): temporarily carries non-identifying enquiry context such as selected service/source between form submission and the thank-you page so conversion events can be recorded correctly. It is cleared after use or when the browser session ends.
These items are browser storage rather than traditional HTTP cookies, but they are described here because they serve similar site-state purposes.
5. Google Analytics
The website uses Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode v2. If Analytics is allowed, Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and related _ga_* identifiers to distinguish visits and measure usage. Exact cookie names and lifetimes can vary according to Google configuration, browser controls and consent choices.
If Analytics is denied, analytics_storage remains denied. Under advanced Consent Mode, Google tags may still send limited cookieless consent or measurement signals that do not use analytics cookies.
6. Advertising / marketing consent
ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization are denied by default. If you enable Advertising / Marketing, those consent signals change to granted for Google tags. Granting the preference does not by itself create advertising cookies when no advertising tag or feature is active.
7. How to change or withdraw consent
Use in the footer to update your choice. Rejecting non-essential storage changes Analytics and Advertising / Marketing consent back to denied for future tag activity.
You can also clear cookies and site storage using your browser settings. Clearing site storage may cause the consent banner to appear again.
8. Third-party information
Google's own privacy and cookie practices are governed by Google's policies. This site controls the consent signals it sends to Google but does not control Google's independent services or browser behaviour.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when cookies, analytics tools, advertising features or consent requirements change. The current version and date will be shown on this page.
