Privacy policy
Altana is a concept configurator for pergolas, awnings and winter gardens: you try them, with their sun and shade, on a terrace in a 3D garden. You don’t sign up, and nothing you do in the garden is sent to us or counted unless you accept analytics on the cookie card. Without that, all that is involved is the technical data any website’s host receives on every visit (see “Who receives the data”).
Who is responsible
The controller of your data is Przemysław Rakowski, trading as Pokaz Studio, ul. Zachodnia 33/14, 53-641 Wrocław, Poland; NIP 8971888854; REGON 388224842. Write to contact@pokaz.studio with any question about your data or to use your rights.
What we collect with your consent
If you accept analytics on the cookie card, we use Google Analytics 4 to see how the configurator is used, so we can make it clearer and easier. It records:
- that you visited and how long you stayed;
- if the garden couldn’t be shown on your device, the reason (for example, no WebGL 2);
- technical details: browser, device type, screen size, language, and an approximate location (country or city) derived by Google from your connection;
- the pages you open, without any configuration in their address, and a random ID stored in a cookie, so repeat visits from the same browser are counted once.
The garden loads while the cookie card is up. What is recorded before you answer is held in your browser’s memory only: it is sent if you press Accept (or Accept all), and thrown away if you save your choice with Statistics off or leave without answering.
We don’t collect your name, email or anything else you type. The quote request form sends nothing: Altana is a concept, so the request goes nowhere, and the form says so (“Nothing was sent”). We don’t use the data for advertising (Google’s ad features and Google signals are switched off), and we don’t sell it.
If you don’t accept, neither Google Analytics nor Cloudflare’s visitor statistics (below) is ever loaded, and nothing is sent to Google: leave the card unanswered, or open Settings on it, leave Statistics (Google Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics) off and press Save choices. Consent is voluntary: the configurator works fully without it.
The events in detail
For the curious, every event the garden sends after you accept, and what it carries:
| Event | When, and what it carries |
|---|---|
product_select |
You choose a product: pergola, awning or winter garden |
option_select |
You change an option: which product, which option and its new value (a size in millimetres), once it has rested |
light_change |
You change the light: the time of day (once it has rested) or the season |
camera_view |
You choose a camera view: Garden, Terrace, Under the roof or Detail |
tour_start, tour_step, tour_end |
You take the tour: its chapter, and whether you finished it |
link_opened |
The page opened from a shared link: which product it showed |
link_copied |
You copied the link from Share |
quote_open, quote_request |
You open the quote, or press Request a quote in it (nothing is sent to anyone): the product and its illustrative price in złoty |
render_error |
The garden couldn’t be shown: whether the browser can’t draw it or it failed, and why |
ui_locale |
On every event: the page’s language, English or Polish |
Google Analytics adds its own page views and engagement time.
Why, and on what legal basis
To understand which parts of Altana people use and where they get stuck, and improve it. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), for the visitor statistics below too. Both read from or store information on your device, which in Poland also needs your consent (Art. 399 of the Electronic Communications Law). You can withdraw it at any time; that doesn’t affect what was processed before.
The technical data the server receives on every page view is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in delivering the site and protecting it from abuse (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
We make no automated decisions about you and don’t profile you (GDPR Art. 22): the analytics only shows how the configurator is used.
Visitor statistics
If you accept analytics, we also count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. Its small script loads only after you accept. Then, when a page loads, it sends Cloudflare the address of the page, the page that linked you here, your browser’s user agent (which names the browser, system and kind of device) and how the page loaded and performed. That covers its load times, how quickly it responded and whether its layout shifted, how much memory its scripts used, and a random code for that one page load.
Cloudflare works out your country from your IP address. It does not store the address, and we never see it. The script sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and does not fingerprint you, so we see only totals and can’t tell who you are. It still reads information from your browser, so it runs only with your consent, under the same Statistics switch as Google Analytics.
The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a); in Poland also Art. 399 of the Electronic Communications Law). You can withdraw it at any time (see “Change your choice”).
Cookies and storage
The two Google Analytics cookies are set on this site’s own address only (altana.pokaz.studio), not on pokaz.studio or the studio’s other sites.
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics: a random ID to tell visits apart. Only with your consent. | 2 years |
_ga_… |
Google Analytics: keeps the current visit together. Only with your consent. | 2 years |
altana:consent |
Your answer on the cookie card (browser storage, not a cookie; never sent anywhere). | Until you clear it |
altana:design |
The design you configured for each product (pergola, awning, winter garden: its size, colour, roof, sides, fabric or glass, and extras) and which one was on show, so a reload keeps them (browser storage; never sent anywhere). | Until you clear it |
altana:looks |
The designs you saved under “Saved” (up to four), so you can compare them and come back to them (browser storage; never sent anywhere). | Until you clear it |
altana:lang |
The language you chose, saved only when you choose one: with the language switch, with this policy’s link to its other language, or by answering the suggestion to change language. On the main address it opens the page in that language (browser storage; never sent anywhere). | Until you clear it |
altana:single-keys |
Whether the single-key shortcuts are on, saved only when you turn them off or on in the keyboard shortcuts (browser storage; never sent anywhere). | Until you clear it |
altana:tour |
That the tour has been offered under the camera views, so it isn't offered again (browser storage; never sent anywhere). | Until you clear it |
The altana: entries are strictly necessary for things you ask for (keeping your
answer, your designs, the designs you saved, your language and your shortcuts), so they need
no consent: the ePrivacy Directive’s exemption (Art. 5(3)) and, in Poland,
Art. 399(3) of the Electronic Communications Law.
Configuration links
“Share” and “Copy link” put the design on show into the link itself: the product, its size and every choice you made, how far its louvres, fabric, screens or blinds are set, and the time of day and season, so whoever opens it sees the same design and price. The link holds nothing else: no name, no ID. Opening one shows its design without replacing what this browser remembered: that changes only once you change something. Analytics never records the link, nor the configuration in the address it was opened from.
Who receives the data
Google Ireland Limited, as our processor for Google Analytics. Google may process the data in the United States; such transfers are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Google’s standard contractual clauses.
Cloudflare, Inc. hosts this site and, with your consent, runs the visitor statistics for us. As any web server does, it receives your IP address and your browser’s technical details on every page view, only to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. For both, Cloudflare is our processor: it handles the data only on our behalf and on our instructions. Cloudflare may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. It takes part in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, and its data processing terms also include the EU standard contractual clauses.
How long it is kept
Analytics events are kept for 14 months and then deleted automatically. The cookies expire as listed above, or are deleted when you withdraw consent.
Cloudflare keeps the full reports behind the visitor statistics for 7 days. After that it keeps only a sample of them for the totals, and we can see those totals for the last 6 months.
Your rights
You can ask for access to your data, its correction or deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and you can object to the processing of the technical data by the server. Because analytics data is tied only to a random browser ID, we may need that ID to find it. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority; in Poland that is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Moniuszki 1A, 00-014 Warsaw.
Change your choice
“Cookie settings”, here or at the foot of the panel, opens the cookie settings again. To withdraw your consent, turn Statistics (Google Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics) off and press Save choices: that switches analytics off, deletes its cookies and reloads the page without it and without the visitor statistics, and nothing new is recorded or sent after that. Events already recorded under your consent may still leave as the page reloads.
Changes to this policy
If what we collect changes, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
Language versions
This policy is also published in Polish. For visitors in Poland, the Polish version prevails.
