Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. They help sites function, remember preferences, and understand usage patterns.

2. How We Use Cookies

2.1 Strictly necessary (essential)

Required for core Site operation — e.g., security, load balancing, cookie consent memory. These cannot be disabled without breaking functionality. Legal basis: legitimate interest / necessity.

• granite-cookie-consent-v1 (localStorage) — stores your cookie choice (essential only / accept all).

2.2 Functional

Remember settings you choose (where implemented). Disabled if you reject non-essential cookies unless technically required.

2.3 Analytics (optional — consent required where applicable)

Help us understand aggregated traffic, page performance, and errors. We do not use analytics cookies unless you click Accept all in our cookie banner (or equivalent consent mechanism).

2.4 Third-party cookies

External services linked from the Site (fonts, embedded content, Telegram) may set their own cookies when you interact with them. Granite does not control third-party cookies — review their policies directly.

3. Cookie Duration

• Session cookies — deleted when you close the browser.
• Persistent cookies — remain until expiry or manual deletion.
• Consent record — stored until you clear site data or we increment the consent version key.

4. Managing Cookies

You can:

• Use our banner: Essential only or Accept all;
• Clear cookies and local storage via browser settings;
• Enable "Do Not Track" / Global Privacy Control — we honor applicable legal signals where required;
• Block third-party cookies in browser privacy settings.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent the Site from working correctly. Disabling analytics cookies does not affect core browsing.

5. Updates

We may add or remove cookies as the Site evolves. We will update this Policy and, where required, request renewed consent.
