This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as browser storage) used on the Website, their purposes, their retention periods and how you can manage your preferences. Strictly necessary (functional) technologies are required for the Website to work; marketing and measurement tools run only with your consent.
1. What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files saved to your device through your browser when you visit a website. The browser's local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage) are technologies used for similar purposes. In this policy, the term “cookie” is used for all of them.
2. Functional Cookies (Always Active)
These technologies are required for the Website to work and to be secure; they do not depend on your consent. Rainwater does not set its own cookies for visitors on the Website; the information below is kept only in your browser and is not sent to us.
| Name | Provider and type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Rainwater, local storage | Remembers your cookie preference and the date of that preference. | Until you delete it |

| quickHelpGreeted | Rainwater, session storage | Shows the welcome message in the quick help panel once per visit. | Deleted when the browser is closed |
| Cloudflare security cookies | Cloudflare, Inc. | Protects the Website against malicious traffic; blocks automated (bot) form submissions using Cloudflare Turnstile. | Short-term (set by the provider) |
3. Marketing and Measurement Cookies (With Your Consent)
These tools are loaded through Google Tag Manager and run only if you select “Accept” in the cookie notice or turn on the “Marketing” category in the preferences. If you do not give consent, none of these tools are loaded and you can continue to use the Website.
| Tool | Provider | Purpose | Example cookies and duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Tag Manager | Manages and loads the measurement and advertising tools below. | Does not set cookies itself | |
| Google Analytics 4 | Measures the number of visits, pages viewed and on-site interactions (e.g. clicking a phone or WhatsApp link, submitting a form). | _ga, _ga_… (2 years) | |
| Google Ads | Measures the results of advertisements (conversions) and enables adverts to be shown to people who have visited the Website. | _gcl_au (90 days) and Google advertising cookies | |
| Meta Pixel | Meta Platforms | Measures the results of Facebook and Instagram advertisements and enables adverts to be shown based on interests. | _fbp (90 days) |
Cookie durations are the providers' default durations; providers may change them. The information you enter in forms (name, phone, email, message) is not sent to measurement tools; only the fact that a form was submitted and the type of form are passed on.
4. Embedded Content and Links
- YouTube videos: Videos are not loaded until you press the play button; when you do, they open in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). In that case, YouTube (Google) may use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with its own policy.
- Maps, WhatsApp and social media: There are no embedded maps on the Website; address and directions links open Google Maps, WhatsApp links open WhatsApp, and share links open the relevant social media site. When you click these links, the relevant service's own privacy and cookie policy applies.
5. Changing Your Preferences
In the cookie notice shown on your first visit to the Website, you can use the “Accept”, “Reject” or “View preferences” options. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Change cookie preferences” button at the top of this page; once you withdraw your consent, marketing and measurement tools will not be loaded from the next page load onwards. You can delete cookies that have already been set in your browser settings. If you block all cookies in your browser settings, some features of the Website may not work.
6. Legal Basis and Transfer Abroad
Functional cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in the operation and security of the Website; marketing and measurement cookies are used on the basis of your explicit consent. As the servers of the providers of the marketing and measurement tools (Google, Meta) and of Cloudflare are located abroad, data obtained through these tools is transferred abroad. Details on the processing of your personal data and your rights can be found in the Privacy Notice (KVKK). The providers' own policies: Google, Meta, Cloudflare.
