Cookie Policy

1. Operator and browser technologies

On-demand web chat: when you choose Chat with us, we load Chatwoot from chatwoot.carrastechnologies.com, operated by CARRAS. It stores a conversation identifier in your browser to continue the chat and sends your messages, the page reference and connection information to our reception infrastructure through Cloudflare. Chat content is not sent to our analytics. Clearing browser data can prevent access to the previous conversation. The chat is separate from optional analytics; email and phone remain available.

This policy concerns carrastechnologies.com, operated by Carras Technologies LLC at 2425 24th Ave W, Apt 302, Williston, ND 58801, United States. Contact: info@carrastechnologies.com.

Cookies are small values stored by a website and sent with relevant requests. Local storage keeps values in your browser without automatically sending them with each request. Both can be subject to privacy requirements. This site uses local storage to remember the preference you select; the language is determined by the page URL, not a language cookie.

2. Necessary preference storage

Name: carras-cookie-preferences. Provider: Carras Technologies LLC (CARRAS), on this website's origin. Type: local storage. Purpose: remember your analytics choice, configuration version and expiry dates. It contains no name, email or advertising identifier and is not sent as measurement data.

A choice remains valid for 180 days unless you change it, clear browser data or the relevant configuration/version changes. After expiry, the site asks again before optional analytics can run. Local storage does not expire automatically in every browser: an expired record may remain locally until replaced or cleared, but is no longer treated as permission. A browser that blocks storage may require you to make your choice again.

3. Optional Umami analytics

We use Umami on CARRAS-operated servers to understand visits and contact actions. No analytics request is sent before you affirmatively allow it. Rejection and acceptance have comparable prominence. Closing settings, scrolling or continuing to browse does not grant permission.

This integration does not set analytics cookies or store a visitor identifier in your browser. Your separate privacy choice remains valid for up to 180 days. The lifetime of that choice does not determine retention of analytics records or protected backup copies.

After permission, we measure public page paths, language, referring site origin and limited actions: starting an inquiry, a confirmed inquiry submission, or a contact-link click. Service categories are selected from a fixed list. Query strings, URL fragments, form fields and contact-link destinations are excluded. Connection information, including IP address and browser information, reaches Cloudflare and our server; Umami uses connection information to derive visit statistics and approximate location. Analytics records are stored on our infrastructure.

This public website does not currently implement advertising pixels, session-replay tools or third-party embedded videos. The necessary delivery and security processing of our hosting provider is described in the Privacy Notice; it is not activated by analytics consent.

4. Make, change or withdraw your choice

• Use the notice or Cookie settings in the footer. Optional analytics starts disabled. You can save a choice without allowing it.
• When optional analytics is not configured, the notice explains that fact and offers acknowledgment and settings instead of requesting consent for an inactive service.
• Withdraw permission through Cookie settings. We stop new measurements and cancel pending requests where possible. We also remove accessible legacy analytics cookies. Withdrawal does not retroactively erase data already received; contact us about an applicable data request.
• A detectable Global Privacy Control signal or Do Not Track value of 1 keeps optional analytics disabled, even if an earlier preference allowed it. With that signal present, the control does not offer a conflicting analytics opt-in.
• You can also delete or block cookies and local storage in your browser. Preferences are specific to the browser and website origin. Private browsing, another device or clearing site data may require a new choice. The language versions share preferences on the same origin.

5. Updates and further information

We will update this policy if the site's storage or tracking practices change. A new analytics configuration or consent version requires a new choice before optional tracking starts. This policy does not grant permission for additional advertising or other purposes.

The Privacy Notice explains personal-information requests, recipients and retention criteria. Our analytics endpoint is metrics.carrastechnologies.com. The statistics panel requires authentication. Questions can be sent to info@carrastechnologies.com.
