Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Ryel Digital uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

You can accept or reject analytics through the consent panel and change your choice at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the website footer.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and software development kits. These technologies can support website functions, remember preferences and help us understand how our website is used.

Our consent controls use your browser’s local storage rather than a cookie to remember your privacy choice. References to storage in this policy include both cookies and local storage where relevant.

2. The Types of Storage We Use

• Necessary storage: supports security, session functionality and your saved privacy choices. Necessary website functions remain active when you reject optional analytics.
• Analytics: helps us measure visits, review website performance and understand which pages are useful. The visitor counting described below uses no cookies or device storage; optional interactions follow your choice and regional privacy settings.
• Advertising storage: we do not currently offer advertising or remarketing storage through our cookie settings.

3. Consent Records and Retention

Necessary website storage

Supports security, staff sessions and core website operation. Duration depends on the function.

cookie_consent_analytics

Stores whether you accepted or rejected analytics and when you made that choice. An acceptance is retained for up to 365 days; a refusal for up to 183 days before we may ask again.

Visitor analytics

Detailed Lovable analytics data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year. This counting uses no cookies or browser storage.

When a saved choice expires, we may ask for your choice again. An expired acceptance is not treated as permission to enable optional analytics in regions requiring consent. A saved refusal continues to block optional analytics until you change it.

4. What Analytics Measures

We use Lovable’s built-in visitor analytics to understand how our website is used. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, doesn’t keep IP addresses and doesn’t identify visitors. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable’s privacy policy explains how it handles it.

It records pages visited, where visitors came from, their country, browser, operating system and device type, how long they stay, how fast pages load, errors, and which buttons and links are clicked. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year.

For visitors in the EU/EEA, the UK, Switzerland and Canada, and where the country cannot be determined, clicks are recorded only after analytics is accepted. Elsewhere they are recorded unless analytics is rejected. Clicks are never recorded when your browser sends Global Privacy Control, even after acceptance. Page visits, time on page, page speed and errors are recorded for every visitor, without cookies and without identifying anyone.

We also use our own visitor statistics service (vt.ryel.stream) to count page visits and successful form enquiries. It loads only when analytics is permitted: after acceptance in the regions above, or unless rejected elsewhere. Global Privacy Control disables it. No form contact details are sent to this statistics service.

5. Managing Your Choice

• Select Accept All to permit optional analytics.
• Select Reject All to refuse optional analytics. Necessary website functions remain available.
• Select Manage to review the analytics switch and save your choice.
• Use Cookie Preferences in the footer at any time to review or change your saved choice without clearing your browser data.

A newer choice replaces the earlier one. Closing or ignoring the panel is not an acceptance. You can also remove cookies and local storage through your browser settings, although this may affect saved preferences and website functionality.

6. Browser Privacy Signals

Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of optional analytics, including when an earlier acceptance is stored. The preferences panel explains when this signal applies and disables the analytics switch.

7. Regional Consent

We request an analytics choice in the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Canada, and where we cannot reliably determine whether consent is required. Optional analytics defaults to denied in these regions until you accept. Google Consent Mode’s regional defaults name Quebec; Lovable’s analytics and our visitor statistics apply the Canadian restriction to all of Canada because province-level location is not available.

8. Forms, Fonts and Staff Sign-in

Our enquiry forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which may set cookies and collect device and browser information to distinguish people from automated spam. Google receives this information under its Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Necessary form protection remains active; blocking it may prevent forms from sending. Submitted messages are delivered to the Ryel Digital team.

Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address and browser details to deliver them but does not set cookies for this. The staff content management area stores a sign-in session and a display preference in browser local storage; ordinary visitors are not affected. Links to cockpit.zone and Ryel ONE take you to separate websites with their own policies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technology or legal obligations change. The Last updated date at the top of this page shows when the latest version was published.
