Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
This policy follows Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE) and the guidance of the Spanish data protection authority (AEPD).
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in the same way. We use the word "cookies" for all of them.
2. What this website uses
This website sets no advertising cookies. Fonts are served from our own website, not from a third party. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them (see section 3).
Strictly necessary (no consent needed)
These items are needed for the website to work or to remember your choice. Under Article 22.2 LSSI-CE they are exempt from the consent requirement.
| Name | Set by | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| wr_consent | wateroute.com | Local storage (not a cookie) | Stores your cookie choice (accepted or rejected analytics) | Up to 24 months; after that, or if our cookie categories change, we ask you again |
| wr_lead | wateroute.com | Session storage (not a cookie) | A technical mark, without any personal data, set after you send the quote form so that the request is counted only once, and only if you accepted analytics | Removed as soon as the "Thank you" page opens; in any case until you close the tab |
| cf.turnstile.u | Cloudflare, Inc. (challenges.cloudflare.com) | Local storage (not a cookie) | Security: Cloudflare Turnstile check that protects the quote form against spam. Runs only on the page /quote/ | Persistent, no expiry date; stays until you clear your browser data |
Our assessment is that the Turnstile item is strictly necessary to protect the form you are using. If you prefer not to have it, do not use the form: you can write to us at [email protected] or call us instead.
3. Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
If you click "Accept all" or switch on "Analytics" in the settings, we load Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google. It shows us how many people visit the site and which pages they use, so that we can improve it. Before you accept, no Google script is loaded and no data is sent to Google. We use Google Consent Mode: analytics storage is granted only after your consent; the advertising categories (ad storage, ad user data, ad personalization) stay denied. Google signals and advertising personalization are switched off in our Google Analytics settings.
| Name | Set by | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics (first-party cookie on wateroute.com) | Cookie | Used to distinguish users (Google's description) | 2 years by Google's default. Browsers may shorten it: in our test, Chrome stored it for 400 days |
| _ga_FZXTG64N6C | Google Analytics (first-party cookie on wateroute.com) | Cookie | Used to persist session state (Google's description) | 2 years by Google's default. Browsers may shorten it: in our test, Chrome stored it for 400 days |
Source: Google, [GA4] Cookie usage on websites. The name of the second cookie contains the identifier of our Google Analytics data stream.
Who receives the data and where it is processed: see the Privacy Policy.
Cloudflare Web Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregated visit statistics. It does not use cookies or local storage (Cloudflare), so it does not need your consent.
4. How to change or withdraw your consent
When you first visit, a banner asks for your choice. "Reject all" is as easy as "Accept all". Scrolling or closing the banner is not consent. You can change your mind at any time: , or use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, we stop Google Analytics and delete its cookies (_ga and _ga_*) on this website. Your choice is saved for 24 months, and we ask again after that or if we add a new category.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can delete or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings:
6. Changes
If we add another category of cookies, for example advertising, we will first ask for your consent and update this page. The current version is always published here, with its date.
