Google Analytics 4 (consent required)
FARON uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-LG2CGMGKVB) to understand aggregate usage, such as which pages are visited and how many people find the site. GA is not used for advertising or remarketing.
FARON uses Basic Consent Mode. The Google tag is not created and no request or cookieless ping is sent to Google before you actively consent to analytics. When consent is withdrawn, future GA hits are disabled and FARON attempts to delete _ga and _ga_* cookies together with its own visitor, session and attribution keys on the device.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | Up to 2 years; deleted on withdrawal where the browser permits |
| _ga_LG2CGMGKVB | GA4 session state | Up to 2 years; deleted on withdrawal where the browser permits |
Other third parties
FARON does not use third-party cookies for advertising or remarketing. External map data (OpenStreetMap, Thunderforest, CARTO and Esri) is fetched through standard requests but does not set cookies in your browser.
