1. What this policy covers

This policy explains what pourenzo.app stores on your device and what it reads from it. Read it together with the privacy policy, which covers everything else.

Short version: this site uses one analytics tool, Google Analytics 4. It is not loaded at all until you accept. The only other entry stored here is your cookie choice, which the site needs to remember your answer. There is no advertising pixel, no Meta Pixel, no Google Ads tag, no A/B testing tool, no session recorder, no social plugin, no embedded video and no third-party font.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website places on your device. Similar technologies do the same job by other means: local storage in your browser, pixels or web beacons embedded in a page, fingerprinting that identifies a device from its configuration, and SDKs inside mobile apps.

Legally, what matters is not the technology but the access: § 25(1) TDDDG and Art. 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC require your consent for storing anything on your device or reading anything already there, unless it is strictly necessary for a service you expressly requested.

3. What this site stores

Name	Set by	Type	Purpose	Retention	Consent needed
`_ga`	Google (GA4) — first party	Cookie	Distinguishes visitors so sessions and page views can be counted	up to 24 months	Yes
`_ga_<container-id>`	Google (GA4) — first party	Cookie	Holds the session state for this property	up to 24 months	Yes
`cookie-consent`	This site	Local storage	Remembers whether you accepted or declined, so you are not asked again	until you clear it	No — § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG

No other cookie is set. Apart from the host GitHub, which receives every page request as described in the privacy policy, only Google receives data from this site, and Google only after your consent.

4.1 Who and what

Provider: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use GA4 to see which pages are read and which are not. The measurement is aggregated; we do not use GA4 to recognise individuals.

4.2 Before you decide

The site starts with Consent Mode v2 and every category set to denied — ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization and analytics_storage. In that state Google's tag is not loaded at all: your browser makes no request to googletagmanager.com or google-analytics.com, nothing is sent to Google, and nothing is written to your device. Consent Mode on its own would still load the tag; this site does not.

4.3 After you accept

Clicking Accept sets analytics_storage to granted, and only then is the tag loaded from googletagmanager.com. From that point Google receives the page views of this site together with your IP address, and the _ga cookies are written. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR together with § 25(1) TDDDG. The advertising categories (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) stay denied in every case.

4.4 After you decline

Clicking Decline keeps every category denied and the tag unloaded. Nothing is written to your device apart from your choice, and the choice is remembered so you are not asked again. If you decline after having accepted, measurement stops immediately and the _ga cookies are deleted.

4.5 Retention and transfers

GA4 retains event data for at most 14 months. Google processes data in the EEA and transfers to Google LLC in the United States on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and its participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Google's own policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Your choice, and changing it

The banner appears on your first visit. Accept and Decline are equally reachable, equally prominent, and nothing is pre-ticked.
You can reopen it any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer, and change your answer as often as you like.
Withdrawal is as easy as consent and takes effect immediately for the future. It does not make the earlier processing unlawful.
Your browser can block or delete cookies independently of this site. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are respected: where one is present and you have not made a choice, the banner is not shown and Google Analytics is not loaded. You can still accept through Cookie settings if you want to.

6. The app

Pourenzo is in development and not yet available in any app store. This policy covers the website only.

7. Regional notes

EU/EEA: ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC and the GDPR; non-essential storage requires prior opt-in consent. In Germany § 25 TDDDG governs the device access itself.
United Kingdom: PECR and the UK GDPR; prior consent for non-essential cookies.
United States: analytics use here is neither a "sale" nor "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA, because nothing is passed on for cross-context behavioural advertising. Global Privacy Control is honoured regardless.
Canada: PIPEDA; meaningful consent, implied only where the purpose is obvious and the data not sensitive.
Brazil: LGPD; consent for non-essential storage.

8. Changes

We update this policy when a tag is added, removed or renamed. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision.
