Cookie policy
Which cookies and browser storage Genform uses, and how to control them.
In short
- gen-form.com and the design tools use only the cookies and browser storage needed to run the service. They set no advertising or analytics cookies.
- plakhaus.com uses Google Analytics only if you accept it. Until you choose, and if you reject, it is not loaded.
- You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings in the plakhaus.com footer, or through your browser settings.
1. What these technologies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage, IndexedDB and service-worker caches, also keep information on your device. This policy covers all of them. It explains what Genform sets, why, and how long it lasts. Our Privacy policy explains how we handle personal data.
2. Essential cookies and storage
These are needed to provide a feature you asked for, such as signing in, securing a login, completing a checkout or remembering that you accepted our terms. They do not need your consent, and the sites do not work properly without them.

| Your work on this device (settings, recent files, autosaved snapshots, drafts and, in Cavity, cached model files) | The design tools | Lets you continue your work and keeps your preferences | Until you delete it or clear site data |
App caches (service workers plk-studio-v1, lh-studio-v1, cavity-shell-v1) | The design tools | Speeds up loading and lets the tools be installed as apps. They hold application files only, not personal data | Until updated or cleared |
Items that hold content you typed, such as saved profiles in Taghaus, stay on your device unless you save or share them.
3. Analytics cookies (optional)
On plakhaus.com, we use Google Analytics (Google LLC) to understand which pages are useful. It is off by default. It loads only after you choose “Accept analytics”, and it is never loaded on the signed-in Studio or the admin area.
| Name | Where | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | plakhaus.com | Distinguishes visitors to measure visits | Up to 2 years |
_ga_J73EYFDRPH | plakhaus.com | Keeps session state for Google Analytics | Up to 2 years |
If you reject analytics or later withdraw your choice, we stop Google Analytics and delete these cookies from your browser. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a rejection.
4. Usage measurement inside the tools
When you are signed in to a Genform tool, the service records usage events, such as logins, exports and an activity signal while an editor is open, as described in the Privacy policy. These events are sent to our own servers when you use the tool. They do not use cookies or an identifier stored on your device.
5. Third-party services
When you choose to continue to PayPal, Google or Etsy, you leave Genform and those services may set their own cookies under their own policies. Genform does not embed their scripts in our pages.
6. How to control them
- plakhaus.com: use Cookie settings in the footer to accept or reject analytics at any time.
- Your browser: you can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you block essential items, you will not be able to sign in or use the tools.
- Google Analytics opt-out: Google provides a browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
