Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 9, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on suppostat.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember information about your preferences or activity.

Similar technologies — such as localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixel tags — work in comparable ways. This policy covers all such technologies used on suppostat.com.

2. How We Use Cookies

We keep our cookie usage minimal. We use cookies and localStorage for two purposes only:

To operate the website correctly — a small number of technically necessary functions.
To understand how the website is used — through Google Analytics 4, but only if you have given your consent.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking cookies, or any cross-site tracking technology. We do not share cookie data with data brokers or advertising networks.

3. Cookie Categories and Details

3.1 Strictly Necessary

These cookies or storage entries are required for the website to function. They do not collect data for analytics or marketing purposes. Under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent.

Name	Provider	Purpose	Type	Duration
`suppostat_cookie_consent`	Suppostat	Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted / declined) so the banner is not shown on every page visit	localStorage	Persistent (until manually cleared)

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies are set only if you accept analytics cookies via our cookie banner. They help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited, how long people spend on the site, and how they arrived. This information is used solely to improve the website. No personally identifiable information is sent to Google under our configuration.

Name	Provider	Purpose	Type	Duration
`_ga`	Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC)	Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated client ID. Used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for analytics reports.	Cookie	2 years
`_ga_PT8QSNP9XW`	Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC)	Persists session state for this specific GA4 property (tag ID: G-PT8QSNP9XW).	Cookie	2 years
`_gid`	Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC)	Distinguishes users for the current day's sessions.	Cookie	24 hours
`_gat`	Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC)	Rate-limits requests to the Google Analytics servers.	Cookie	1 minute

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC. We have configured GA4 with IP anonymisation enabled. Data may be processed by Google on servers located in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and Google Analytics data practices.

4. Cookies We Do Not Use

For transparency, the following types of cookies and tracking technologies are not used on suppostat.com:

Advertising or retargeting cookies (e.g. Google Ads, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag)
Social media tracking pixels or share buttons that set third-party cookies
Personalisation or A/B testing cookies set by third parties
Cross-site tracking technologies of any kind
Session recording or heatmap tools (e.g. Hotjar, FullStory)
Live chat platform cookies (we do not use a client-facing live chat widget on this website)

5. Your Cookie Choices

5.1 Our cookie banner

When you first visit suppostat.com, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can:

Accept — enables Google Analytics 4. Your consent is stored in your browser's localStorage so the banner does not reappear.
Decline — disables Google Analytics 4. The banner will not reappear. No analytics data is sent to Google.

Your preference is recorded in a localStorage entry named suppostat_cookie_consent with a value of accepted or declined.

5.2 Change or withdraw your consent

You can change your analytics cookie preference at any time using the buttons below. Clicking either button will update your stored preference immediately.

5.3 Browser cookie controls

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

View and delete individual cookies or all cookies
Block cookies from specific websites
Block all third-party cookies
Set up alerts when a site attempts to set a cookie

Instructions for common browsers:

Note: blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, though it will not materially affect your ability to view suppostat.com.

5.4 Google Analytics opt-out

You can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Legal Basis for Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies on suppostat.com are processed under consent as the legal basis (GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3)). This means:

Analytics cookies are not set until you have given your explicit consent via the cookie banner.
Consent is specific, informed, and freely given — accepting or declining has no impact on your ability to access the site.
You can withdraw consent at any time using the buttons in Section 5.2 above.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add or remove cookies, or if legal requirements change. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we do so. If we make changes that affect how we use analytics cookies, we will reset the cookie banner so you can make a fresh choice.
