2.1 Information you give us

When you submit our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide. We use this information solely to reply to your inquiry.

2.2 Information collected automatically

If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. This collects:

• Pages viewed and time spent on each page
• Approximate location (country, region, city) derived from your IP address — the IP itself is anonymised
• Device type, browser, operating system, and screen size
• Referring website (e.g. Google, social media)
• Anonymous demographic estimates (age range, gender) where available

If you reject cookies, none of the above is collected.

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our legal bases for processing your data are:

• Legitimate interest — for replying to your enquiries through our contact form.
• Legal obligation — where we must keep records (e.g. for tax purposes).

4. Cookies

We use the following cookies:

• Strictly necessary — one local-storage entry that remembers your cookie choice. No tracking.
• Analytics (optional) — Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*), set only after you accept. They expire after 2 years and never identify you personally.

You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for gesconstructions.com.

5. How long we keep data

• Contact-form messages are kept for up to 24 months unless our ongoing communication requires longer.
• Analytics data is retained for 14 months in Google Analytics, after which it is automatically deleted.
