This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and local storage used by the Contractors.es website (“the site”) at https://contractors.es, and how you can manage your consent. Last updated: September 2026.
1. What are cookies and local storage
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser on your device when you visit a site. It lets the site recognise your device on subsequent visits. Local storage (e.g. localStorage) works similarly, but the data stays in your browser and is not sent to the server with every request.
2. Categories of cookies and storage we use
2.1 Functional - always active
These cookies and storage are required for the site to work. They do not require your consent.
| File / storage | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
contractors_consent_v1 (localStorage) |
Stores your consent preferences (cookie categories, policy version) | Until you clear localStorage in your browser |
contractors_country (cookie) |
Set by our server based on geolocation (Cloudflare / nginx GeoIP) - used to direct you to the right language version and show the right currency | Up to 1 day |
cf_clearance, __cf_bm, _cfuv (cookies) |
Anti-bot and CAPTCHA verification (Cloudflare Turnstile). Used when submitting forms (contact, demo, presentation) | A few minutes up to 30 days |
2.2 Analytics - consent required
These cookies are set only after you grant consent via the consent banner (the “Statistics” category).
| File | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics 4 - user identifier | Up to 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics 4 - session state | Up to 2 years |
Analytics collects aggregated statistics (visit counts, most-visited pages) without identifying individual users.
2.3 Marketing - consent required
These cookies are set only after you grant consent via the consent banner (the “Marketing” category).
| File | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_gcl_au |
Google Ads - conversion attribution (Sign up link, demo form submission) | Up to 90 days |
_gcl_ls |
Google Ads - session identifier for conversion attribution | Up to 90 days |
2.4 Preferences - consent required
| File / storage | Purpose |
|---|---|
personalization_storage (Consent Mode v2) |
Remembering interface preferences (e.g. manually selected language version) |
3. Google Consent Mode v2 compliance
The site implements Google Consent Mode v2. By default (before you give consent), no analytics or marketing cookies are stored - the browser sends a denied signal to Google. Only after you grant consent (even partial) is the signal updated and the corresponding cookies may be stored.
Mapping of our categories to Google’s signals:
- Functional →
functionality_storage,security_storage - Preferences →
personalization_storage - Statistics →
analytics_storage - Marketing →
ad_storage,ad_user_data,ad_personalization
4. Third-party cookies we do not use
In the past (on the previous WordPress + Elementor + Complianz version of the site) we used dozens of cookies (WordPress, Elementor, Jetpopup, Polylang, LiteSpeed, Google reCAPTCHA, Google Fonts, YouTube). All of these were removed during the migration to the new infrastructure. None of them are used on the site today.
If you find cookies on the site that are not listed above, it will be from a future feature - we will update this list to reflect them.
5. Managing your consent
On your first visit we show a banner asking for your consent. At any time you can:
- Change your preferences - click “Manage cookies” in the site footer,
- Withdraw all consent - in the same panel, by unchecking all categories.
Withdrawing consent deletes the local consent record (contractors_consent_v1). Cookies already set by Google need to be cleared in your browser directly.
6. Disabling cookies in your browser
You can disable or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. Note however that:
- Disabling functional cookies (e.g.
contractors_country) prevents automatic redirection to the correct language version. - Disabling Cloudflare Turnstile cookies may cause issues with form submissions (contact form, demo request, presentation request) - the site may not be able to confirm you’re a human.
- Disabling analytics or marketing cookies does not affect the site’s functionality - statistics simply will not be collected.
Browser-specific instructions:
7. Retention period and your rights
We store cookies for no longer than necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were collected, or until you withdraw consent.
Regarding personal data, you have the rights described in our Privacy Policy, including the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
