COOKIE POLICY
Cookies and browser storage.
Last updated: 9 September 2026. This policy explains the cookies and browser-storage technologies used on commercialgrowth.ie.
Necessary storage is used only to provide features you request, such as keeping the Commercial Growth Check working and remembering your privacy choice. Optional Google Analytics is not loaded unless you actively choose “Allow analytics”. You can reject analytics and use the site normally.
1. Storage used by the website
| Name / technology | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cg_check_answers (sessionStorage) | Keeps your answers while you move through the Commercial Growth Check. | Necessary | Browser session, or until a fresh Check is started. |
cg_lead_id (sessionStorage) | Creates a random reference so stages of one enquiry can be connected without using your email address in analytics. | Necessary | Browser session, or until a fresh Check is started. |
cg_analytics_consent (localStorage) | Remembers whether you allowed or rejected optional analytics. | Necessary preference storage | Up to 6 months, then the site asks again. |
_ga (cookie) | Used by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors after analytics consent. | Analytics | Configured by this site for up to 90 days. |
_ga_5PNH8XMW8N (cookie) | Used by Google Analytics to maintain session state after analytics consent. | Analytics | Configured by this site for up to 90 days. |
2. Analytics consent
Analytics cookies and the Google Analytics script are blocked by default. If you choose “Allow analytics”, Google Analytics 4 is loaded and the analytics cookies above may be set. If you choose “Reject analytics”, they are not loaded. You can reopen Privacy choices from the footer at any time. Rejecting analytics after previously allowing it disables further tracking on the site and the site attempts to remove its first-party Google Analytics cookies.
Commercial Growth asks you to renew the analytics choice after no more than six months.
3. Acquisition parameters
If the page URL contains UTM campaign parameters, the current values are held in page memory and attached to an enquiry only if you submit the Check. They are not written to cookies or local/session storage for marketing attribution.
4. What Google Analytics measures
Commercial Growth uses Analytics to understand website performance and funnel stages such as starting the Check, completing it, viewing the Audit information and requesting an Audit. Custom events are limited to categorical information. Contact details and free-text form answers are not intentionally sent in custom events.
5. No advertising cookies
The site does not use Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel or behavioural advertising cookies. Google Signals and advertising-personalisation signals are disabled in the website code.
6. Third-party embeds
There are no embedded social feeds, videos, maps, chat widgets or advertising pixels on the current site. Instagram is provided as an ordinary external link. Formspree receives information only when a form submission is sent.
7. Changing browser storage
You can also delete cookies and local/site storage through your browser settings. Blocking necessary browser storage may cause the Commercial Growth Check to lose progress between questions.
