6 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies on tlstage.com. When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject optional analytics cookies. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot work without them. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.

Essential Cookies (always active)

  • tl_consent (TLSTAGE, first-party) — stores your cookie choice so we do not ask again. Kept for 12 months.
  • __cf_bm, cf_clearance (Cloudflare) — security and bot protection for the site and our inquiry forms (Cloudflare Turnstile). Kept for 30 minutes to 1 year.
  • Form session data (Contact Form 7, first-party) — lets our inquiry forms and file uploads work while you are filling them in. Deleted when you close your browser.

Analytics Cookies (only with your consent)

  • _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics 4, Google LLC) — distinguish visitors and sessions so we can see which pages and products are viewed and how the site is used. Data is aggregated; we do not use it for advertising. Kept for up to 2 years.

Google Analytics runs in "consent mode": until you accept analytics cookies, no analytics cookie is set and no identifiable visitor data is stored. If you reject, Google may still receive anonymous, cookieless signals that cannot be linked to you. For more on how Google processes data, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Managing Cookies

Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer to change your choice at any time. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete cookies
  • Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
  • Clear cookies when closing your browser

Please note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site (such as the inquiry form) from working.

7 International Data Transfers

As a company based in Guangzhou, China, serving international clients, your information may be transferred to and processed in different countries. We ensure that:

  • All international transfers comply with applicable data protection laws
  • Appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information
  • Service providers in other countries maintain equivalent levels of data protection
  • Standard contractual clauses or other approved mechanisms are used where required

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other regions with specific data protection laws, your rights under those laws remain protected regardless of where your data is processed.

8 Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for business professionals and are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 18, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our systems. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
