Cookie Policy

1. About this policy

This policy explains cookies and similar browser storage used on pixel-industry.com, operated by PIXEL INDUSTRY D.O.O., Zagrebačka 89, 42000 Varaždin, Croatia. Contact info@pixel-industry.com with questions. For personal-data processing and your rights, see our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small values stored by your browser and sent with relevant website requests. Local storage and session storage keep information in your browser without automatically sending it with each request. Tracking scripts may also send usage events without setting cookies. Our optional-tracking choice controls loading the tools, not just whether they can set cookies.

3. Essential preference storage

We use the local-storage entry pi-cookie-consent to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional tracking, together with a timestamp and notice version. It is first-party storage, not an analytics identifier. The choice is valid for 180 days; after expiry we ask again on your next visit. The entry may remain in your browser until replaced or cleared, but an expired choice is not used to authorize tracking.

This storage is necessary to remember the privacy choice you request and is used without optional-tracking consent. Preferences apply to the browser and website origin where they were saved; another browser, device, or subdomain may ask separately.

4. Optional analytics and experience tools

We offer one optional choice covering the tools below. They remain blocked unless you accept. You can reject them and still use the website.

• Google Tag Manager: loads the configured analytics and experience tools after consent. It manages tags; the tags it loads determine what additional information is collected.
• Google Analytics: measures visits, referral sources, pages viewed, and interactions. Depending on configuration it may use first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish browsers and sessions.
• Ahrefs: provides website traffic and performance measurement. Its storage and data collection depend on the Ahrefs product and configuration; tracking can occur without a cookie.
• Hotjar (part of Contentsquare): supports heatmaps and session recordings to understand clicks, scrolling, and other interactions. Depending on configuration it may use _hj* and _cs_* cookies and local or session storage to associate visits and recording sessions.

Provider cookie names and lifetimes vary by product and configuration; the examples above are not an exhaustive cookie inventory. Session storage normally ends with the browser tab session, while persistent cookies and local storage can remain until expiry or deletion. Provider privacy information is linked in our Privacy Policy.

5. Accept, reject, or withdraw consent

The notice offers equally accessible options to accept or reject optional tracking. No optional Google Tag Manager container is included in the initial page response. Accepting allows the configured analytics and experience tools to load; rejecting leaves them off.

Use the button below or Cookie settings in the footer to change your choice. When you withdraw consent after accepting, we reload the page to stop running tracking scripts and attempt to remove known analytics, Hotjar, and Contentsquare cookies and browser-storage entries accessible to this site. We cannot directly remove third-party-domain cookies or information already transmitted to providers.

You can also delete or block cookies and site storage in your browser. Clearing preference storage causes the notice to appear again. If storage is unavailable, the website will explain that your choice cannot be remembered.

6. Other connections and policy changes

Serving pages, fonts, and security services involves network requests and may expose technical connection information even when optional tracking is rejected. Rejecting optional tracking is not a promise that the website makes no external connections. See our Privacy Policy for more information.

We may update this policy when our tools or practices change. Material changes to the optional-tracking purposes require renewed consent rather than relying on an old choice.
