Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how MITIS uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how users can manage their preferences.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on a user’s device when visiting a website. Similar technologies may also be used to store or access information on a device.
2. Categories of cookies currently used
| Category | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Enable basic website functionality, security, session handling, or user-requested services. | Not subject to prior consent where legally exempt. |
| Preference cookie | Stores your cookie preference (accept/reject optional cookies). | Legitimate interest (service operation and proof of preference). |
| Analytics (optional) | Measures website usage with Google Analytics 4 to help us improve content and navigation. | Consent. Only set after you accept optional cookies. |
3. Cookie list
Current production cookie inventory for this website:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mitis_cookie_consent | First party (MITIS) | Stores your cookie preference (accept/reject optional cookies) | 180 days | Strictly necessary |
| cf_clearance / cf_chl_* (if applicable) | Cloudflare | Security challenge and abuse prevention for protected endpoints | Session / short-lived | Strictly necessary |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors to produce aggregated usage statistics | 2 years | Analytics (only after consent) |
| _ga_X4RVXCWEL6 | Google Analytics | Maintains the analytics session state for this website | 2 years | Analytics (only after consent) |
4. Consent and preferences
No analytics or marketing cookies are placed by default. Google Analytics is deactivated until you accept optional cookies: the analytics script is not even downloaded before that point, and Google Consent Mode is set to deny analytics storage. The cookie banner records your preference choice (accept/reject optional cookies) to avoid showing the banner repeatedly. Rejecting optional cookies keeps analytics switched off, and withdrawing an earlier acceptance also deletes the analytics cookies already stored on your device.
5. Managing cookies
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the button below, which reopens the cookie banner. You can also manage or delete cookies in your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality and form protection.
6. Third-party services
The website may use Cloudflare Turnstile for anti-bot protection on contact-related forms when enabled by configuration. This is a security service and not an advertising or analytics tracker.
Where you accept optional cookies, the website uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to produce aggregated statistics about how the website is used. Analytics data may be processed outside the European Economic Area under the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy. Advertising and personalisation signals remain disabled.
