Cookie policy

How this website remembers your choices, protects the admin area, and uses optional personalisation.

What we use

Cookies are small text records stored by your browser. This website also uses local storage, a similar browser feature, to remember location and branch preferences. We ask before using optional storage.

Strictly necessary

These records support security or remember the privacy choice you asked us to keep. They cannot be switched off through the consent controls.

Name	Purpose	Duration
`grace_cookie_consent`	Stores your cookie category choices.	180 days
`authjs.session-token`	Authenticates authorised staff in the private admin area. The secure production name may begin with `__Secure-`.	Up to 1 hour of inactivity
Auth.js verification cookies	Protect sign-in and sign-out requests against forgery.	Short-lived

Personalisation

If you allow personalisation, the site can detect your country using an external IP-location provider, show a relevant Grace branch, and remember a branch you select. The provider receives your IP address as part of the normal network request. Precise device location is requested only after you choose “Use my location”.

Browser record	Purpose	Duration
`grace.geo.cache.v1`	Caches an approximate country and city result.	24 hours after success; 30 minutes after failure
`grace.geo.override.v2`	Remembers the branch you selected.	Until you reset it or clear browser data
`grace_geo_office`	Lets the server render the branch you selected before the page loads.	1 year, or until you reset it
`grace.geo.redirect-prompt.v1`	Remembers a dismissed country-page suggestion.	Until cleared or replaced
`grace.geo.locate-prompt.v1`	Remembers that you dismissed the nearest-branch prompt.	Until browser data is cleared

Analytics and marketing

If you allow analytics, we load Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are used. It is not loaded until you allow it, its advertising features are switched off, and withdrawing your choice stops it and deletes its cookies. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
`_ga`	Google Analytics: distinguishes one visitor from another.	2 years
`_ga_HX9MP1QMLH`	Google Analytics: keeps track of the current visit.	2 years

No advertising or marketing platform is loaded. The Marketing switch keeps any future tool disabled until you give permission.

Change your choice

You can reopen the controls at any time. Withdrawing personalisation removes Grace’s optional location and branch records from this browser. You can also clear cookies and site data using your browser settings.
