Cookie Policy
Last updated: [DATE]
This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how cmspros.eu uses them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They serve various purposes — some are essential for the website to function, while others help us understand how visitors use our site or enable additional features.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on cmspros.eu for the following purposes:
- Essential website functionality — enabling core features such as page navigation and language selection
- Cookie consent preferences — remembering your cookie consent choices so we do not ask on every visit
- Analytics — understanding how visitors use our website so we can improve it (only with your consent)
We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural targeting, or selling data to third parties.

Analytics Cookies (Require Your Consent)

Analytics cookies are only set after you provide explicit consent through our cookie consent banner. If you decline analytics cookies, no analytics data is collected from your visit.
Marketing Cookies
We do not use marketing cookies. We do not display advertisements on our website. We do not use retargeting or behavioural tracking technologies.
Third-Party Cookies
If our website embeds content from third-party services (such as embedded videos, maps, or social media widgets), those services may set their own cookies. We block third-party cookies before you provide consent through our cookie consent mechanism.
We are not responsible for the cookie practices of third-party services. Please review their respective privacy and cookie policies for more information.
Google Consent Mode v2
[Include if using Google Analytics or Google services]
We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which communicates your cookie consent choices to Google services. When you decline analytics cookies, Google Analytics operates in a limited, cookieless mode that does not collect identifiable data. When you accept analytics cookies, full analytics functionality is enabled. This ensures our analytics configuration respects your consent choices in compliance with EU requirements.
Managing Your Cookies
Through Our Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit cmspros.eu, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the website footer.
Through Your Browser
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and other sites you visit.
