This Cookies Policy explains how the website of Gerehe, available at https://gerehe.com (the "site"), uses cookies and similar technologies, what each of them is for, and how you can control them. Gerehe is the operator of this site and is responsible for the way personal data are handled through it.
In the United Kingdom the use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), and the personal data involved are handled in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. In short, we ask for your consent before we use any cookie or storage that is not strictly necessary, and we explain here what we do.
A cookie is a small text file that a website places in your browser. Similar technologies, such as the browser's session storage, work in a comparable way: they let a site keep a small piece of information on your device. This policy covers both.
We keep this to a minimum. The table below lists everything the site sets or stores, and nothing else is used.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_pref | Essential cookie set by the site | Stores your consent choice | 365 days |
| Ad click identifiers (gclid, wbraid, gbraid, t7, t8) | Browser session storage | Allows a request sent later to be attributed to the ad that brought you here | Until the browser tab is closed |
| Google advertising cookies (names starting with "_gcl_") | Optional advertising measurement cookies, only after consent | Ad conversion measurement | Durations are decided by Google |
The site's own code sets one cookie, called "cookie_pref". It records the choice you make in the cookie banner so that the site does not have to ask you again on every page and can respect your decision. It stores your consent choice for 365 days. Because it only remembers your decision and is needed for the banner to work properly, it is an essential cookie.
The consent cookie is essential. It does not track you, it is not used for advertising, and it does not depend on your consent, because its only function is to record that choice.
Ad measurement is optional. It uses the Google Ads conversion tag, which helps us understand whether an advertisement led to a request being sent. This tag is loaded only if you accept it in the cookie banner, and only on the confirmation page that is shown after a request has been sent. If you do not consent, no Google tag is loaded at all on this site.
After you consent, the Google Ads tag on the confirmation page may set Google's own advertising cookies. Their names start with "_gcl_". Their durations are decided by Google, and we do not set or control them. We refer to them simply as Google advertising cookies. Apart from these and the consent cookie, no other cookie or storage is used by the site.
When you arrive on the site through an ad link, that link carries ad click identifiers: the Google Ads parameters gclid, wbraid and gbraid, and the campaign parameters t7 and t8. We keep them in your browser's session storage until you close the browser tab. This happens on every page and independently of your cookie choice.
The reason is simple: if you send a request later in your visit, the identifiers travel with it to the confirmation page, so that the request can be attributed to the ad that led you here. Nothing is kept when you did not come from an ad link. Because the information is held only in the open tab and disappears when the tab is closed, it is not retained beyond your visit.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time. Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page to reopen the cookie banner and select a different option.
Withdrawal takes effect immediately. When you withdraw consent, the Google tag is switched off for advertising, and the Google advertising cookies that the site can reach are deleted in your browser. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and it does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before you withdrew. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that blocking the consent cookie may cause the banner to appear again.
The data you send us are kept as long as needed to answer your request, and they are deleted on request. The cookie and storage durations are those given in the table above.
The following recipients are involved in operating the site:
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to ask for access to your personal data, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to its use. To exercise any of these rights, send your request through the contact form on the contact page. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the supervisory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom.
For more about how we handle personal data in general, see our Privacy Policy. We may update this Cookies Policy if the site changes or the law requires it. The current version is always the one published on this page.
