Cookie Policy
Cookies and similar technologies on this site
Boltimize runs a deliberately light site. Only storage that is strictly necessary is used today, and anything optional is gated behind your consent.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies — such as local storage — work the same way: they let a site keep a small piece of information on your device between page views or visits. This policy covers both.
Why Boltimize uses them
Only for one reason at present: to remember the cookie choice you make, so you are not asked again on every page. We do not use cookies to profile visitors or to advertise.
Categories used on this site
Strictly necessary — always active. Required for the site to function and to honour your cookie choice. These cannot be switched off because the site cannot respect your preference without recording it.
Analytics — off unless you allow it. This site uses Google Analytics 4, delivered through Google Tag Manager, to understand which pages are read and which links are used. Neither the Google Analytics tag nor the Tag Manager container is downloaded, and no analytics data is sent, unless you allow this category. Google Consent Mode is set to denied by default and only updated once you consent. If you later withdraw consent, tracking is disabled and Google Analytics cookies are removed.
There is no marketing or advertising category, because the site runs no advertising, remarketing or social tracking technologies.
What is actually stored
| Name | Type | Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| boltimize.cookie-consent | Local storage (first party) | Strictly necessary | Records your cookie choice and when you made it. | Persists until you clear your browser storage or reset your choice. |
| _ga, _ga_<id> | Cookie (Google Analytics 4) | Analytics — consent required | Distinguishes visitors and sessions so page views and link usage can be counted. No names, email addresses or form contents are sent. | Up to 2 years; removed if you withdraw consent. |
No other cookies are set by Boltimize. Apart from Google Analytics, delivered via Google Tag Manager and running only with your consent, no third-party cookies are set by this site.
Third-party requests
Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) to render the site's typography. Requesting those files does not set cookies on this site, but it does mean your browser contacts Google's servers, which will receive your IP address as part of that request.
The contact form submits directly to this site. No third-party form, chat, booking, video or social widget is embedded anywhere on the site.
Changing your preferences
You can reopen the cookie settings at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer, or the button below. Withdrawing consent takes effect immediately, and anything optional stops being used.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and site storage, usually under Settings → Privacy. Clearing site data for this domain will remove the consent record, and you will be asked for your choice again on your next visit. Blocking all storage may mean the cookie notice reappears on each visit.
Privacy information
Boltimize does not yet publish a separate privacy policy. Details of how personal data submitted through the contact form is handled will be documented there once it is prepared and reviewed. In the meantime, ask us directly.
