Cookie Usage Summary
We use lightweight, non-intrusive cookies and browser storage primarily to remember your interface preferences (such as Dark/Light theme mode), maintain secure user sessions, and evaluate aggregated traffic patterns. We do not sell tracking cookies to third-party data brokers.
Cookies are small text data files deposited onto your computer, tablet, or smartphone by websites you visit. They serve as reliable digital identifiers that enable web servers to remember your browser state, keep navigation fluid, and provide customized interface settings without requesting login credentials on every page reload.

2.1 Essential Technical Tokens
Without these cookies, basic platform operations—such as navigating between service pages and submitting quotation requests—cannot function properly. They do not store personally identifiable records.
2.2 Functional & UI Preference Cookies
These persistent tokens save customized selections, notably our high-contrast light or dark themes, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing reading experience on return visits.
We work with trusted industry-leading infrastructure partners who may deploy cached assets or tracking pixels:
-
Google Fonts & FontAwesome CDN: Used to stream modern typography and iconography with low latency. These requests are stateless and do not track personal profiles.
-
Aggregated Analytics: We may leverage privacy-friendly analytics mechanisms to evaluate site speed, core web vitals, and geographical readership distributions.
Session Cookies: Temporary files that exist solely while your browser window remains active. The moment you close your browser, these tokens are permanently cleared from device memory.
Persistent Cookies: Stored on your device for a predetermined expiration window (varying between 30 days and 1 year) or until you manually clear your browsing data cache.
You have full authority to accept, decline, or purge cookies at any time through your web browser preferences:
-
Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies → Manage exceptions.
-
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Custom Cookies.
-
Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies / Prevent cross-site tracking.
-
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
While you may browse our site with cookies entirely disabled, please note that some functional elements—such as theme persistence, quick quote draft retention, and chatbot continuity—may require manual reconfiguration on each visit.
We may update this policy periodically to accommodate new features or regulatory requirements under ePrivacy and GDPR directives. The date of the latest update is always reflected at the top of this page.
