Cookie policy

One element places cookies, and only after asking

Google Analytics is used to observe which pages are sought and what is not found in the catalogue. That is all: there are no adverts, no social buttons, and nothing is sold onward.

Google Analytics places cookies on the device and sends data to Google. It does not load at all before the “Accept” button in the box below is pressed. On a refusal — or absent any answer — the Google script is never requested: it is not hidden, not deferred, it does not exist in the page.

What it collects: the pages opened, their order, the type of device, the approximate country, and arrival from a search engine. It is not given the name, the email address or the contents of the quote form.

Which cookies are placed, concretely

_ga

Placed by Google Analytics. Distinguishes one visitor from another, so that a single person is not counted ten times for ten pages opened. Duration: 2 years.

_ga_<ID>

Also Google Analytics. Records the point reached within the current visit. Duration: 2 years.

Both are placed only after “Accept”, and disappear upon withdrawal of consent or clearing of the site data in the browser.

What is nonetheless stored in the browser

The following, all in the browser's local storage and none of them in a cookie — so they never travel to the server and accompany no request:

texhub:tema

Records the theme chosen, light or dark. It is written ONLY when the theme switch is pressed; left untouched, nothing is written. It stays until cleared.

rfq:selectie

Carries the selection made on a product page across to the request form — colours, sizes, quantities. It exists for as long as the browser tab does, and is cleared when the tab is closed or the request is sent.

texhub:selectii

The product lists: the items set aside, their colours, sizes and quantities, plus the name given to each list. Unlike the entry above, this one SURVIVES closing the tab — which is precisely why a list can be found again a week later. Each list stays valid for 30 days from its creation. After that it can no longer be sent, but it is kept on the device for a further 30 days so that it can be recovered; on the first visit after that second period it is deleted automatically. At most 10 lists are held at a time. The contents remain on the device: they do not reach the controller and are not visible to it until the “Send the request” button is pressed. Any list may be emptied or deleted at any time, from the “My cart” page (in the interface, lists are called “carts”).

texhub:analitica

Records whether traffic measurement was accepted or declined, so that the question does not reappear on every page. That is all: a "yes" or a "no". It stays until cleared or until the choice is changed.

The recording of searches uses an identifier of the visit, which does not appear in the list above because it is written nowhere: it lives in a variable in the open page's memory and disappears along with it. It is not a cookie, cannot be read by another site, and links no two visits together. What is recorded, and why, is set out in the privacy policy.

Why the others require no consent

The law (Article 4(5) of Romanian Law 506/2004, transposing the ePrivacy Directive) requires consent for storing information on the user's device — except for what is strictly necessary to provide the service just requested.

The theme preference, the form selection and the product lists are written only as a result of an action by the user, serve exactly that action, measure nothing, and do not travel to the server before the “Send the request” button is pressed. The answer to the measurement box belongs here too: for a refusal to be remembered, the refusal has to be noted somewhere.

Traffic measurement is the only one that falls outside this and is therefore the only one for which consent is sought.

How the choice is changed, at any time

Below is the switch itself: it shows the choice in force and offers the opposite button. Withdrawal takes effect immediately — from the next page nothing further is loaded from Google — and the cookies already placed remain until they are cleared from the browser, as described below.

No registration is required and no reason is asked for. Consent that is easy to give and hard to withdraw is not consent.

How to clear what was stored

In the browser settings, under browsing data or site data, select texhub.ro and clear it. What is lost is the theme preference and the saved product lists; otherwise the catalogue works exactly the same.

Local storage can also be blocked entirely for this site. The effect: the theme falls back to the system setting on every visit, and product lists no longer survive closing the tab.
