Cookie Policy
Last updated
Schutle is a trading name of Clean Mean Data Group Ltd (“we”, “us” or “our”). This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on schutle.com, why we use them and how you can control your preferences.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information, including information you provide when requesting a report, making an enquiry or booking a demo.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website function, remember your choices and measure how visitors use its pages.
Similar technologies, including browser storage and tracking tags, may perform related functions. This policy covers those technologies where applicable.
How we use cookies
Necessary cookies and preference storage
We use necessary technologies to provide essential website functions and remember your cookie preferences. These are not used for advertising and do not require your consent where they are strictly necessary for the service you request.
Optional analytics cookies
With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use our website.
This helps us measure activity such as:
- Pages visited and engagement with our content.
- Traffic sources and campaigns.
- Clicks on report-download links.
- Successful enquiry submissions and other configured events.
Analytics information can include cookie identifiers, page addresses, referral information and details about your browser and device. We do not intentionally send your name, email address, telephone number or enquiry text to Google Analytics.
We use consent-based analytics. Google Analytics is not enabled until you accept analytics cookies. If you reject them, you can still browse the website, request reports and submit enquiries.
Cookie details
The table below identifies the cookies and storage used on this website.
| Cookie or storage name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CookieConsent | Schutle website, using Cookiebot CMP by Usercentrics A/S | Stores the visitor’s consent choices so the website can remember and respect them | Up to 12 months, if the default is unchanged | Compliance |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes browsers for analytics measurement | 2 years | Analytics |
| _ga_<identifier> | Google Analytics | Maintains session information for analytics measurement | 2 years | Analytics |
Cookie expiry and the period for which analytics data is retained are different. Further information about personal-data retention is provided in our Privacy Policy.
Your choices
When you first visit our website, the cookie banner allows you to:
- Accept all: allow the optional cookie categories described in the banner.
- Reject optional: continue using the website with necessary technologies only.
- Settings: choose which optional categories to allow.
Optional categories are off until you enable them. Continuing to browse or scrolling does not count as consent.
We remember your preference for 12 months, unless you change it or clear the relevant browser storage. We may ask again when your preference expires or our use of optional technologies materially changes.
Changing or withdrawing consent
You can change your preferences at any time using Cookie settings in the website footer. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
If you withdraw analytics consent, we stop further consent-based analytics collection through this website. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew consent.
You can also delete existing cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect some website functions, and deleting the cookie that stores your preference may cause the banner to appear again.
Google Analytics and third-party services
When you allow analytics, information is sent to Google for processing through Google Analytics. Processing may involve locations outside the UK or European Economic Area. Our Privacy Policy explains the applicable arrangements and safeguards for international transfers.
You can read more about Google’s processing in Google’s explanation of how it uses information from sites and apps.
If you follow a link to another website, its own privacy and cookie policies apply. Your choices on our website do not automatically control tracking on that separate website.
Enquiries and report requests
Your cookie choice does not prevent you from submitting an enquiry or requesting a report.
We process the details you submit so that we can handle your request, as explained in our Privacy Policy. This is separate from optional analytics tracking.
Accepting analytics cookies does not subscribe you to marketing emails.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our website, technologies or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. Where required, we will obtain fresh consent before using optional technologies for new purposes.
