Legal - Our cookie policy

This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies XCODES ("the Company", "we") uses on this website, why we use them, and how you can control them.

If you have any questions, contact us at [email protected] or through the contact form on our website.

If you are not familiar with terms such as "cookies", "IP address" or "browsers", we recommend reading about these key terms first at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when you visit it. They are sent back to the website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes them.

Cookies serve different purposes: some are required for a website to function at all, while others remember your preferences or measure how the website is used.

Except for strictly necessary cookies, we only set cookies with your prior consent.

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner lets you Accept or Decline non-essential cookies. No analytics cookies are set — and no data is sent to Google Analytics — unless you accept them.

You can review your choices or manage each cookie category individually at any time using the button below. This page is always one click away via the Cookie policy link on the consent banner and in the footer of every page.

If you withdraw your consent for analytics cookies, they are deleted from your browser and no further analytics data is collected.

Your choice is stored in the cc_cookie cookie for 6 months, after which we will ask you again. We will also ask again if this policy or our use of cookies changes materially.

These are required for the website to function securely and to remember your consent choice. They cannot be switched off, and they are not used to track you across websites.

With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website — for example which pages are visited most and how visitors interact with them. This helps us improve the website. The statistics are aggregated and do not directly identify you.

Google Analytics is provided by Google LLC. Data processed by Google may be transferred to the United States; such transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or standard contractual clauses. For more information, see Google's privacy policy.

Some pages embed content from third parties, which may set their own cookies when you visit those pages:

• Calendly (meeting scheduling, on our scheduling pages) — see Calendly's privacy notice.
• Google Maps (map on our contact section) — see Google's privacy policy.
• Google reCAPTCHA (spam protection on our forms) — see Google's privacy policy and terms of service.

These providers act according to their own privacy policies. You can also block their cookies through your browser settings.

For some features we use your browser's local and session storage instead of cookies. This data stays on your device and is never sent to third parties:

• Our on-site AI assistant keeps your current conversation in session storage, which is deleted when you close the browser tab.
• Your preferred voice-input language for the assistant is kept in local storage.

This storage is strictly functional and involves no tracking.

In addition to the "Manage cookie preferences" button on this page, you can control cookies through your browser:

• You can delete existing cookies.
• You can block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
• You can set your browser to notify you before a cookie is stored.

The procedure differs from browser to browser — use your browser's "help" feature if needed. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website works.

If you use several devices or browsers, you will need to set your preferences on each one.

For further information on cookies, including how to manage them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

We may update this policy from time to time, for example when the cookies we use change. When the changes are material, the cookie banner will ask for your consent again.
