Your privacy choices
The website uses essential browser storage for security and to remember your privacy preference. Optional services are blocked until you accept them. Rejecting optional services does not prevent you from browsing products or submitting a project enquiry.
You may reopen Privacy settings from every page footer. Consent expires after 180 days and is requested again. A new consent request is also shown when the purposes or providers materially change.
Strictly necessary storage
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

Cloudflare describes these as strictly necessary security cookies. They are not used by GENAN for advertising. Availability depends on which security check a request encounters.
Privacy-limited analytics
If Google Analytics is configured and you accept analytics, the site loads Google's analytics script. Advertising storage, Google Signals and ad-personalisation signals are disabled. We do not send enquiry references, names, email addresses or attachment contents to analytics.
The same analytics choice also permits GENAN's first-party, privacy-limited visitor record. Random visitor and session IDs, the page path, referring host, campaign tags, coarse location, device class and browser language are stored for up to 13 months. The visitor database does not store raw IP addresses or full referring URLs.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Maximum duration |
|---|---|---|---|
genan-analytics-visitor-id | GENAN · local storage | Randomly distinguishes a consented browser for first-party aggregate measurement. | Until analytics consent is withdrawn or browser storage is cleared |
genan-analytics-session-id | GENAN · session storage | Randomly groups consented page visits within the current browser tab session. | Current browser tab session |
genan-analytics-last:<path> | GENAN · session storage | Prevents the same page from being counted repeatedly within 30 minutes. | Current browser tab session |
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes browsers for aggregated website measurement. | 13 months |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Maintains analytics session state. | 13 months |
Legal basis: your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, for terminal storage, the consent requirement implemented under applicable ePrivacy rules.
Google translation
Google translation is not loaded on first visit. If you enable it, your IP address, browser details, requested page and language choice may be sent to Google, and Google may set or read the googtrans language-preference cookie and other storage required by its service. The service is disabled again when you withdraw this choice.
Legal basis: your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Native English, German, French and Spanish entry pages remain available without enabling Google translation.
Change or withdraw your choice
Use the Privacy settings button in the footer. Withdrawing analytics disables further collection and removes the known first-party analytics storage and Google Analytics cookies set for this site. Existing server records expire under the retention schedule or may be addressed through a verified rights request. Withdrawing translation removes the known translation preference and reloads the page so the third-party service is no longer active.
Browser controls may also delete or block storage. For questions, email [email protected] or read our Privacy Policy.
