1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device to support core site operation, remember user choices and, where you consent, measure aggregate usage.
2. Cookie categories
- Necessary cookies for core functionality. Your consent choice is stored in localStorage. Always on.
- Analytics cookies, only if you grant Analytics consent.
- Marketing cookies, only if you grant Marketing consent. These allow ad measurement and remarketing audiences (e.g. Google Ads).
- Preference cookies, only if you grant Preferences consent. These remember choices you make on the site.
| Cookie or localStorage key | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| aime_cookie_consent_v2 | Consent choice in localStorage (categories, version, timestamp) | No fixed expiry set by the site | Necessary |
| _ga | Google Analytics visitor identifier for measurement | Up to 2 years | Analytics only with consent |
| _ga_<container> | Google Analytics session measurement for aime.gr | Up to 2 years | Analytics only with consent |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads conversion linker | Up to 90 days | Marketing only with consent |
| _gcl_aw / _gcl_dc | Google Ads click attribution and conversion tracking | Up to 90 days | Marketing only with consent |
3. Consent and management
The cookie banner offers a per-category choice (Analytics, Marketing, Preferences). Google Analytics loads only after Analytics consent, and Google Ads is configured only after Marketing consent. You can change or withdraw your choice. On withdrawal of Analytics or Marketing consent, matching first-party Google cookies that the site can remove are cleared; if a Google tag is already running, the page may reload. Your decision is stored in your browser's localStorage, not as a cookie, together with a timestamp and a version. The site does not enforce a fixed expiry for the saved choice.
4. Third-party providers
For usage analytics we use Google Analytics only after Analytics consent; analytics events are not sent without it. If you grant Marketing consent, we may also use Google Ads for ad measurement and remarketing audiences. Advertising conversion events require Marketing consent.
