Cookie policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, work in much the same way. In this policy, "cookies" covers both.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for a website to work. Others, such as analytics cookies, we set only with your consent.

Which cookies does Union Trade use?

We use two categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary: one cookie that remembers your cookie choices. It is always on.
• Analytics: Google Analytics 4 cookies, set only if you accept them.

We do not use advertising, remarketing or social media tracking cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

The website needs this cookie to remember your choice, so it does not ask for consent.

• ut_consent — set by Union Trade. Purpose: stores your cookie choices so that the banner does not reappear on every page. Expires: 12 months.

If you reject analytics cookies, this is the only cookie we set.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the website: which pages they read, how they arrive and whether forms are submitted. This helps us improve the website. Google Analytics loads only after you click Accept, or turn analytics on in Cookie settings. If you reject analytics cookies, Google Analytics does not load and no analytics data is sent.

• _ga — set by Google Analytics on union-trade.net. Purpose: distinguishes one browser from another so that visits can be counted. Expires: 2 years.
• _ga_* — set by Google Analytics on union-trade.net; the asterisk stands for part of our Google Analytics measurement ID. Purpose: keeps session state, such as when a visit started. Expires: 2 years.

We do not turn on Google Analytics advertising features, such as Google signals or ads personalization. Google processes analytics data on our behalf. Our Privacy policy explains data transfers and how long analytics data is kept.

Do we use advertising or tracking cookies?

No. We do not use advertising, remarketing or social media tracking cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before setting them.

We host our fonts and images ourselves, so viewing a page does not send your data to font or image services.

How do you change your cookie choices?

• Cookie settings: use the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page to accept or reject analytics cookies at any time. Withdrawing consent stops analytics from that point.
• Your browser: use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. If you block all cookies, the website still works, but it may ask for your cookie choices on each visit.
• Google's opt-out add-on: Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on all websites: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

When you reject or withdraw consent, we stop loading Google Analytics. Cookies already set may stay in your browser until they expire, or until you delete them in your browser settings.

We ask for your choice again after 12 months, or sooner if we change the cookies we use.

Changes to this policy

We review this policy whenever we change the cookies the website uses. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows the current version.
