Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text records that a website stores through a browser. They can support essential functions, remember settings or help a service understand how it is used. Similar technologies may store or read information from a device for related purposes.

Cookies currently used

Visitors can browse products, applications and company information and submit an enquiry without accepting analytics cookies. Where Google Analytics 4 is configured for this website, it remains off until a visitor selects “Accept analytics” in the cookie choices. The website does not use advertising cookies.

An essential first-party cookie is used only for authorised website administrators after they sign in. It supports security and access to the private content-management area.

Optional analytics

If Google Analytics 4 has been configured and you accept analytics, the service may set cookies including _ga and a measurement-specific _ga_* cookie. These cookies help distinguish visits and understand aggregate use of pages, contact links and enquiry actions. Their duration may be up to two years, subject to Google's settings and your browser controls.

The analytics setup disables Google signals and advertising personalisation. Google may still process device and usage data as an analytics provider under its own terms. No Google Analytics script is requested before consent, and a deployment without a GA4 measurement ID does not load the service.

Your choice is stored in local browser storage under minglang_analytics_consent. You can reopen the choices through “Cookie settings” in the footer. Declining or later withdrawing consent disables analytics and removes accessible first-party Google Analytics cookies from this website.

Essential administrator cookie

• Name: minglang_admin_session
• Purpose: maintains an authenticated administrator session.
• Duration: up to 12 hours, or until the administrator signs out or the cookie is removed.
• Type: strictly necessary, first-party cookie.

The cookie is marked HttpOnly and SameSite Strict. It is also marked Secure in production. The private administration service cannot maintain a signed-in session if this cookie is blocked.

Third-party services

The About page includes an optional Google Maps feature. The Google map is not loaded when the page first opens. If you select “Load Google Maps,” your browser connects to Google, which may set or read cookies and receive technical data under Google's own policies.

LinkedIn and other external links do not load their services inside this website merely because the link is displayed. Their policies apply after you choose to visit them.

Your controls

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. The exact controls are available in the privacy or security settings of your browser. Blocking the administrator session cookie does not affect ordinary public browsing, but authorised administrators will not be able to remain signed in.

You may accept or decline optional analytics when the choices are shown. Use “Cookie settings” in the footer to change that choice at any time. Clearing this site's browser storage will also clear the saved choice and cause the choices to be shown again on a later visit when analytics is configured.

You can use the About page without loading Google Maps. A separate link is provided if you prefer to open the map service in a new tab.

Updates and contact

This policy may be updated if the analytics configuration, service providers or other cookie-based functions change. Non-essential analytics remains subject to the visitor choice described above.

Questions about cookies or privacy may be sent to betty@minglangelectric.com. Further information about personal data handling is available in the Privacy Policy.
