1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature used to remember information on a device. These technologies may be necessary for a requested function or optional, such as analytics.
2. Technologies used by this website
| Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
fari_cookie_consent_v1 | FARI Technologies Ltd | Necessary local storage | Records whether analytics was accepted or rejected, the notice version and choice date. | Up to 12 months or until removed |
_ga | Google Analytics | Optional analytics | Stores a client identifier used to distinguish website users and sessions. | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Optional analytics | Persists session state for the configured Analytics property. | Up to 2 years |
The exact Google Analytics cookie name may include the measurement container identifier. Google Analytics cookies are not created by our consent implementation unless analytics permission is granted.
3. Google Consent Mode v2 and Tag Manager
Advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalisation and analytics storage default to denied. These consent defaults are sent before Google Tag Manager container GTM-MQLGRP2Q loads.
The Tag Manager container loads to manage consent signals and approved website tags. Google Analytics measurement is configured to activate only after a visitor grants analytics permission. Rejection leaves analytics storage denied and our configuration does not create Google Analytics cookies or begin consented Analytics measurement.
Advertising tags, Google Signals and advertising personalisation are not enabled through this website configuration. This website does not use mobile application identifiers because thefarios.com is a website rather than an application using a mobile analytics SDK.
4. Change your choice
You can reject analytics and continue using the website. Necessary storage is used only to remember your choice and support requested website functionality.
You may also delete cookies and local storage through your browser. Deleting the consent record causes the website to ask for your choice again. Withdrawing analytics permission removes accessible first-party Analytics cookies and prevents further consented collection from subsequent activity through our configuration; it does not make prior lawful processing unlawful.
5. Provider and notice updates
Cookie names and durations may change when providers update their services. We periodically review the website and update this table. A material change to the purpose or categories of optional tracking will trigger a renewed choice.
