Cookie Policy
Last updated: 28 October 2026 · Privacy Policy
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies the JCI Europe website uses and why. Only the strictly necessary one is set without asking. Analytics and marketing tools start only after you allow them.
1. Your choices
When you first visit, a banner asks you to choose: Accept all, Reject non-essential or Manage preferences. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. The tools of a category only run if you allowed that category.
You can change your mind at any time: use here or at the bottom of every page. When you withdraw, the tools stop and the cookies they set are removed.
2. Strictly necessary
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
jci_consent | JCI Europe (this website) | Remembers your cookie choice: a random identifier, your choices, the time and the policy version. | 180 days |
This cookie is needed to respect your choice and cannot be switched off. Section 5 explains the record we keep of your choice.
3. Analytics (only with your consent)
Analytics help us understand how the website is used, so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google LLC in the USA).
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Tell visitors apart and keep a session so that page views can be counted. | up to 2 years |
4. Marketing (only with your consent)
Google Ads (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC) measures whether visitors who came from our ads take an action on the website.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
_gcl_au, _gcl_* | Store the click on an ad and the later action, to measure campaigns. | up to 90 days |
These providers receive your IP address and technical data from your browser and may process them in the USA. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) of the German TDDDG. You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
5. The record of your choice
To be able to show that consent was given or refused, we record every decision: a random identifier (the same as in your jci_consent cookie), the time, the action (accept all, reject non-essential, custom, withdraw), the two categories and the version of this policy. We store no IP address, no name, no e-mail address and no information about your device. The record is kept only as long as it is needed to prove your choice. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR together with Article 7(1) GDPR.
6. Content that loads after you click
YouTube videos, the Google Calendar and similar embeds load only when you press their button. They are not part of the categories above. What they transmit is described in the Privacy Policy, section 5.
