Cookie policy

This Policy lists the cookies and similar browser storage CeramicPortal currently uses, what each item does, when optional analytics can load and how a visitor can change or clear a choice.

Applies to
ceramicportal.comBrowser storageDemo confirmationOptional analytics
At a glance

Necessary first

Essential storage supports a saved preference or a secure demo-confirmation session. It is not used for advertising.

Analytics waits

The Google Analytics tag is mounted only after analytics permission and only when a measurement ID is configured.

No marketing tag today

A marketing preference is reserved in the settings model, but no marketing cookie or advertising script is currently deployed.

Clear or change

A visitor can change an available preference or clear site data in the browser. Clearing the data causes the site to ask again when the consent surface is enabled.

Scope and meaning

This Policy applies to ceramicportal.com. A cookie is a small value a website asks a browser to store. Local storage is a related browser technology but is not technically a cookie. We describe both because they affect a visitor in a similar way.

The Admin portal and Retailer App may use secure session or device storage needed for sign-in and service operation. Their account and application data handling is explained in the Privacy Policy; this page focuses on the public website.

How we classify storage

Necessary

Required for a requested security or preference function, such as verifying a short-lived confirmation or remembering a choice. Necessary storage is not used to build an advertising profile.

Analytics

Helps us understand aggregate page use, browser or device information and approximate location through Google Analytics. It remains off unless allowed and configured.

Marketing

Would measure or personalise advertising. The preference category exists, but no marketing technology is loaded on the current website. A future deployment would require an updated inventory and applicable consent before activation.

Google Analytics

When analytics is allowed and a Google Analytics measurement ID is configured, the website loads Google's tag after interaction. The standard implementation can collect page and session statistics, approximate location, and browser or device information. It uses first-party _ga cookies as described above.

If analytics is declined, the current implementation does not mount the Google Analytics script. Analytics events generated by site controls are also discarded unless the stored analytics choice is true and the Google tag is available.

Changing your choice

A choice is stored only in the browser where it was made and does not automatically follow the visitor to another browser or device. Withdrawing analytics permission stops future optional collection through the website; it does not undo processing already carried out lawfully or remove aggregated reports.

  • Use the site's cookie-preference control when it is legally approved and available.
  • Clear ceramicportal.com cookies and site data in the browser to remove saved local preferences and eligible cookies.
  • Use browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking necessary storage may stop a requested confirmation or preference from working.
  • Use Google's available Analytics opt-out or account controls where relevant to Google processing.

Third-party links and embedded content

A link to another site does not allow that site to set a cookie before you visit it. If CeramicPortal later embeds a third-party service that can store or read information, the inventory and consent controls must be updated before that optional technology is enabled.

Inventory and Policy changes

We will update this page when a cookie, storage key, provider, purpose or material duration changes. A new optional purpose will not be treated as covered by an older choice where fresh notice or consent is required.
