Cookie notice

Version 2026-10-13.2

Your choice

You can accept all optional services, reject them, or separately choose Google Analytics, Contentsquare (Hotjar) heatmaps and session replays, and external media. None loads before you allow it. Rejecting them does not restrict access to the rest of the website. Silence, scrolling and navigation do not count as consent.

Necessary storage

We save callbrad_consent in your browser’s local storage. It contains your preferences, the action you chose, the date, the notice version and its expiry. It is valid for 180 days from your decision, whether you accept or reject. When it expires or this notice changes, we ask again and remove the old record on your next visit. We do not send this record to an external consent service. If your browser blocks storage, your choice applies only to the current page.

Google Analytics: optional

When you enable analytics, Google Analytics 4 measures visits and page use. Google receives information about the page, browser, device and connection. We send an English / EU or Spanish / Chile content group to compare the website versions. We remove query strings and fragments from the page and referrer addresses we configure. Advertising features and Google Signals stay disabled. The _ga and _ga_S12NLPFNNC cookies have a configured lifetime of 180 days; we do not renew their expiry on each page load.

Contentsquare (Hotjar): optional

When you enable Heatmaps and session replays, Contentsquare analyses clicks, pointer movements, scrolling and navigation to identify problems and improve the website. Replays reconstruct page content and changes; they are not videos of your screen. The provider also receives page, browser, device and connection information. We mask forms and editable fields in replays and do not send names, email addresses or customer identifiers through its identity API. We configure page addresses without query strings or fragments and remove the referrer query string. A page variable distinguishes English / EU from Spanish / Chile. Enabling this option does not enable Google Analytics or YouTube.

Contentsquare storage

Contentsquare uses first-party cookies including _cs_id to recognise a visitor (up to 13 months), _cs_s for the session (30 minutes), _cs_c for replay content-masking state (13 months), and _cs_cvars for session variables (session duration). On withdrawal, its opt-out command may set _cs_optout for 13 months to prevent collection; a new explicit grant removes that marker. Call Brad’s choice expires after 180 days even when a provider cookie has a longer lifetime: on expiry or refusal of this category, we clear its cookies and storage accessible on this website. Retention of data already received depends on the contracted service and Contentsquare settings, and differs from cookie lifetimes.

YouTube: optional

YouTube videos stay blocked until you enable external media or select “Allow YouTube and load video”. We use youtube-nocookie.com for the player. This does not prevent all communication with Google: loading the player sends connection data to Google, and playing content may use cookies or similar storage. Allowing YouTube separately does not enable analytics.

Changing or withdrawing permission

Open Cookies and preferences in the footer of any page. Turn off the category you want and save. If you withdraw analytics consent, we disable the tag and clear its cookies accessible on this website. If you withdraw heatmaps and replays, we send Contentsquare its opt-out command and clear its accessible storage, except the opt-out marker. In either case we reload the page to stop code already loaded. If you withdraw external-media consent, we remove the players. Your new choice also applies to other open tabs on this same website. We cannot delete data a provider has stored on its own domain or retract information already sent with your permission.
