1. Introduction

To make Layout Blocks’ website work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device.

2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

• First-party cookies are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
• Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

When you visit our website, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies.

The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as language, etc.) for a certain period of time.

That way, you don’t have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.

Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our site.

3. Different types of cookies

3.1 Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for websites to provide simple functions or to access particular features. Such features include the ability to sign in, add items to your cart in an online store, or purchase stuff on the internet.

These cookies do not require consent.

3.2 Functional cookies

Functional cookies are mostly used to enhance the performance of a website as without them certain functions may not be available. Functional cookies are not vital for a website to run, but they allow one to remember user preferences and settings.

Remembering such preferences and settings, for example, user location helps to display personalized news stories and weather reports.

These cookies require consent.

3.3 Statistics cookies

Statistics cookies monitor site performance and follow user actions but they do not collect identifiable information—they collect data anonymously and use it to improve the website. Statistics cookies can count page visits, examine how much time a user has spent on a website, as well as analyze loading speeds to improve performance.

These cookies require consent.

3.4 Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies help to attract customers with targeted ads and also can be shared with other advertisers so that the performance of such ads can be monitored and measured. Marketing cookies also help build user profiles—by tracking data, websites can offer their customers the best-suited ads for their needs and keep ad revenue coming in.

Marketing cookies are almost always third-party cookies. Such cookies follow users from one website to another. In that way, websites can target users by displaying advertising banners on other addresses online even after the user has left their particular site and jumped to another.

These cookies require consent.

4. First-Party cookies

These include cookies and other data storage or processing placed directly by us.

5. Third-Party services and cookies

Our website uses Google Tag Manager to simplify the management of tracking tools and scripts. Google Tag Manager is a platform that manages scripts such as Google Analytics, which help us understand how visitors use our website.

Google Analytics: With Google Analytics, we collect anonymous data such as the number of visitors, the pages they view, and how they navigate through our site. We use this information to improve our website’s performance and user experience. For more information, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.

Google Tag Manager itself does not place cookies but forwards data to other tools, such as Google Analytics. Any cookies that are placed as a result are subject to those third parties’ cookie policies. You can find more information in Google’s Privacy Policy.

Depending on your cookie preferences, these tools may use cookies to collect certain data. For example:

• Statistics cookies: to keep track of anonymous usage statistics.
• Marketing cookies: to provide users with personalized advertisements.

You can accept or reject these cookies via the cookie banner that appears on your first visit to our site or through the “Manage Cookies” button.

6. Consent

When you visit our website, a consent banner will appear, allowing you to accept or deny different types of cookies. This banner clearly outlines the types of cookies we use and their purposes. You have the option to:

• Accept all cookies.
• Reject all non-essential cookies.
• Customize your preferences by choosing which types of cookies you agree to enable.

Your preferences will be remembered for your subsequent visits.

7. Managing cookies

7.1 Removing cookies from your device

You can delete all cookies that are already on your device by clearing the browsing history of your browser. This will remove all cookies from all websites you have visited.

7.2 Managing site-specific cookies
