Cookie policy

Cookies are short files that are sent to and stored on the hard disk of the user’s computer via its browser when it is connected to a website. Cookies can be used to gather and store the user’s data while they are connected to provide the services requested and are not usually conserved (Session Cookies), or to store the user’s data for another type of future service in which case it may be stored for an indefinite period of time (Persistent Cookies). Cookies may be our own or third party.

There are various types of cookies:

Technical cookies which facilitate the user’s browsing session and the use of the different options or services the website offers such as identifying the session, enabling access to certain areas, simplifying orders, purchases, completion of forms, entries, security, providing functionalities (videos, social networks…).
Personalisation cookies which allow the user to access the services in keeping with their preferences (language, browser, configuration…).
Analysis cookies which allow anonymous analysis of the website user’s behaviour and to measure the user’s activity and create browsing profiles to improve the website.
Advertising cookies help to manage the advertising spaces of the website.
Personalised advertising cookies which enable management of the advertising spaces on the website, based on the user’s behaviour and browsing habits, to create their profile and customise the advertising shown on the user’s browser.

ElephantPink uses its own technical cookies, necessary for the website to function, as well as third-party analysis and advertising cookies which are only installed if you have given your express consent.

Google Analytics (Google LLC) — measures aggregated website usage and performance.
Google Ads (Google LLC) — measures conversions and advertising remarketing.
Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation) — analyses browsing behaviour (heatmaps and anonymised session recording).

[List of cookies used]

Below is every cookie this website installs, with its purpose and its duration. First-party cookies are set from the elephantpink.com domain. Third-party cookies are set by the providers listed below from their own domains, and their duration is determined by each provider, so it may change without notice.

Technical cookies. Necessary for the site to work, installed without consent:

i18n_redirected (first-party) — remembers the chosen language so detection is not repeated on every visit. Duration: 1 year.

Alongside cookies, equivalent browser storage technologies are used: cookiesAccepted (local storage, first-party) records your cookie decision and is kept until you change it from this page or clear your browser data.

Analytics cookies. Installed only if you accept them:

_ga and _ga_HGFN20601D (first-party, Google Analytics) — distinguish users and sessions to measure site usage in aggregate. Duration: 400 days.
_clck (first-party, Microsoft Clarity) — links visits from the same browser. Duration: 1 year.
_clsk (first-party, Microsoft Clarity) — groups page views within the same session. Duration: 24 hours.
MUID, MR, SM and ANONCHK (third-party, Microsoft Corporation, clarity.ms and bing.com domains) — identify the browser in a pseudonymised way so Clarity can work. Duration: from session to 390 days depending on the cookie.
SRM_B (third-party, Microsoft Corporation, bing.com domain) — browser identifier used by Microsoft services. Duration: 390 days.
_cltk (session storage, Microsoft Clarity) — temporary identifier for the recording session. Deleted when the tab is closed.

Advertising and personalisation cookies. Installed only if you accept them:

_gcl_au (first-party, Google Ads) — measures ad effectiveness by attributing visits to campaigns. Duration: 90 days.
IDE (third-party, Google LLC, doubleclick.net domain) — links your activity to measure conversions and show relevant ads. Duration: 390 days.
_gcl_ls (local storage, Google Ads) — supplements campaign attribution when cookies cannot be used.

Embedded video cookies. Eight project pages include a YouTube player that is not loaded by default. If you have accepted cookies, the video plays directly. If you declined them, or have not decided yet, a notice is shown for you to confirm before anything is requested from Google. Only after that confirmation does Google LLC install the following cookies in your browser:

VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE — estimates bandwidth and remembers player preferences. Duration: 180 days.
VISITOR_PRIVACY_METADATA — stores the visitor's privacy state. Duration: 180 days.
YSC — identifies the session in order to count video views. Duration: browsing session.
__Secure-ROLLOUT_TOKEN — assigns a specific service version to the player. Duration: 180 days.
__Secure-YNID — YouTube identifier associated with the browser. Duration: 180 days.

The player is also served in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com domain), which installs no tracking cookies until you play the video. These cookies are set by Google LLC as the provider of YouTube, not by ElephantPink, and their names and durations may change without notice. If you do not want them installed, do not confirm the notice; the rest of the site works normally without watching the video here, and you can watch it directly on YouTube. Further detail is available in Google's privacy policy.

These services may involve a transfer of data to servers located in the United States, covered by the corresponding safeguards (EU standard contractual clauses).

It is for this reason that upon accessing our website, pursuant to article 22 of the Law on Information Society Services, we show you a notice requesting your consent before installing analysis and advertising cookies. These cookies are not installed or run until you click "Accept"; if you click "Reject" or do not interact with the notice, they will remain disabled and only strictly necessary technical cookies will be used.
