Session identifiers

3.2 Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics (with anonymized IP addresses) to analyze website traffic:

3.4 Advertising measurement
Google Consent Mode starts with analytics and advertising storage denied. Google tags may send consent-state and cookieless measurement signals. Advertising cookies and persistent Google Ads attribution are enabled only after you accept marketing cookies.
With marketing consent, campaign parameters such as UTM values, gclid, gbraid and wbraid may be stored with a scope request or completed order so the originating campaign can be measured. With marketing consent declined, these advertising identifiers are not attached to the request.
The browser attribution record expires after 90 days and is removed sooner if you withdraw marketing consent or clear site storage. Attribution attached to a submitted lead or completed order follows the retention period of that business record.
