A page from the practice
A cookie is a small text file a site can store in your browser. This site also stores your Accept or Reject choice in the browser’s local store under the key backupvectorgrid_cookie_consent. That choice is not a dark pattern: both buttons are visible, Reject does not lock pages or the form, and you can change your mind by clearing the store and reloading.
Types we use
Essential. Needed to remember that you have already answered the banner, so it does not return every time you turn a page. The site’s pages, ledgers, and contact form work if you refuse analytics.
Analytics. Used only if you press Accept. A first-party reading cookie helps us see which pages are opened. It is not used to build advertising profiles.
Table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| backupvectorgrid_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject so the banner can stay silent | Until you clear the browser store | Backupvectorgrid Analytics (first party, local store) |
| bvg_read | Counts page opens after Accept; not set if you Reject | 6 months | Backupvectorgrid Analytics (first party) |
| Host security log | Not a browser cookie; the host may record the connection | See host rotation, typically under 90 days | Site host |
How to manage or disable
Use Accept or Reject on the banner. You may also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or use a private window. Clearing site data will show the banner again.
Third-party cookies
We do not load advertising networks. Fonts are requested from Google Fonts; Google may receive the fact that your browser asked for a font file. If that is unwelcome, a browser extension or a font block will still leave the pages readable in a fallback serif.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting analytics does not hide consultations, rates, or the form. You may see the banner again after clearing storage. Blocking all cookies may also forget other sites’ logins; that is your browser’s rule, not ours.
