This report documents every cookie set by atekmidas.com and every third-party service that receives your data when you use this site — including services that do not set cookies but do process your IP address. Cookies are grouped by consent category matching the cookie banner. Non-cookie data processing (IP geolocation, form submissions, reCAPTCHA API calls) is disclosed separately — these cannot be controlled through the consent banner. The Live browser cookies section shows what is currently set in your session (first-party only — third-party cookies cannot be read server-side).

The services below do not set cookies in your browser, but they do receive your IP address or other request data as part of normal operation. They cannot be controlled through the cookie consent banner. The lawful basis for each is noted — see our Privacy Policy for full details.
| Service | Provider | Triggered by | Data sent | Purpose | Stores data? | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| geojs.io geolocation API | GeoJS (get.geojs.io) | Opening a contact, sample-request, or support form | IP address (implicit in HTTP request) | Detects the visitor's country to pre-fill the Country field in forms. The returned country name is placed in the form field only — it is not sent to ATEK MIDAS servers independently. | No — transient lookup only | Legitimate interest — minor UX convenience; no profiling, no data retention beyond the API response |
| Contact Form 7 REST API | ATEK MIDAS | Form submission (contact, sample request, support) | Form field values, IP address (server-side) | Processes and routes enquiry submissions to ATEK MIDAS staff. The server may log the submitting IP address for spam-prevention purposes. | Yes — submission data retained per privacy policy | Contract / legitimate interest — necessary to respond to the enquiry |
| Google reCAPTCHA v3 (API call) | Google LLC | Any page that loads the reCAPTCHA script | IP address, browser fingerprint, behavioural signals | Assesses bot-risk score invisibly in the background. A token is sent with each form submission for server-side verification. Also sets the _GRECAPTCHA cookie (documented above). |
Yes — Google retains data per their privacy policy | Required consent type — necessary for form integrity |
