Cookie policy | Pianolita

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text records saved in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser technology used to retain settings. These technologies may hold preferences and online identifiers.

2. When we ask for consent

Essential technologies make the website work, remember language, consent and accessibility choices, and protect forms from automated abuse. Advertising and measurement technologies are enabled only after your active consent. Until you make a choice, or if you reject optional cookies, the Google Ads tag does not load and sends no data.

WordPress may set administration and authentication cookies for authorised website administrators. They are not used to track ordinary visitors.

4. Google reCAPTCHA, Google Ads and data transfers

On protected form pages in production, Google reCAPTCHA v2 is loaded from recaptcha.net. It may receive your IP address, browser and device information and interaction signals, and set the essential _GRECAPTCHA cookie for risk analysis. reCAPTCHA operates as a form-security measure independently of your advertising-cookie choice, and its data is not used for personalised advertising. See the official reCAPTCHA FAQ for details.

If you consent, Google Ads tag AW-17464003290 loads. Google may receive your IP address, browser and device information, the page URL, advertising click identifiers and interaction data. Applicable transfer mechanisms are used for transfers outside the EEA. See Google’s advertising cookie information and Google’s Privacy Policy.

5. Legal basis

Essential technologies rely on the electronic communications exception for storage or access strictly needed to provide a service you request and on our legitimate interest in keeping the website and its forms secure (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Advertising and measurement technologies rely on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

6. Changing or withdrawing your choice

Accepting and rejecting are equally easy. Use “Cookie settings” in the footer or the button above at any time. After withdrawal, the Google Ads tag will not load on the next page and first-party _gcl_* cookies are removed. You can also delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings.

The controller is MB PIANOLITA, company code 305734093, Laisvės pr. 78B-157, LT-05263 Vilnius. Send questions to info@pianolita.lt. Access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and other rights are explained in our Privacy policy.
