Cookie policy

The X-Lab Suite website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember visitor settings, measure visits and, when you allow it, support Google advertising features.

Which settings you can choose

On the first visit to a page that uses Google tags, you can choose one of these:

• Accept all — allow every storage and processing category shown in the consent settings.
• Reject all — leave those categories denied.
• Customize — set a permission for each category.

Every category starts off. Scrolling the page or closing the window is not consent. You can change the choice through “Cookie settings” in the footer.

What is stored here

Only the memory of your answer and of the language you picked works without consent.

• Necessary — The answer to this question is kept in the browser so it is not asked on every page. That does not need consent.
• Preferences — The page language is remembered when you pick it. That is separate from Google tags.
• Statistics — Google measurement of visits starts only after analytics storage is allowed.
• Marketing — Google advertising starts only after advertising storage, advertising data, and ad personalization are allowed.

Which categories are used

The consent settings cover four Google Consent Mode categories:

• Analytics storage (analytics_storage) — permission to use storage for analytics.
• Advertising storage (ad_storage) — permission to use storage for advertising.
• Data for advertising (ad_user_data) — permission to send user data to Google for advertising.
• Ad personalization (ad_personalization) — permission to use data to personalize ads.

These categories have different purposes and are set separately.

What happens if you refuse

If you have not allowed a category, Google tags are expected to follow that consent state. Depending on the configuration, they may send limited signals without using the corresponding cookies.

Refusing cookies therefore does not necessarily mean that no network request is sent to Google. What actually happens depends on the site settings and the services that are connected.

How the choice is stored

The settings you choose are stored in the browser and applied as you move between pages. You can change the choice through “Cookie settings” in the footer.

The same choice is appended on the server as a new row: the time, the page language, a random number for this browser, how the choice was made, the four categories, and a mark that necessary storage is allowed. The question text and the text of this page are kept for that version. A later change is a new row, and earlier rows stay. The network address and the browser name are not stored.

The site language is stored separately from the Google consent settings.
