1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar browser technologies may be used on pesi-amssac.com. These technologies can support basic website functions, remember preferences, help understand how pages are used and, when advertising measurement is active, help assess whether a campaign or referral resulted in a visit or enquiry.
The use of a cookie does not by itself mean that the business knows who a visitor is. Some cookie information can, however, be treated as personal information when it is combined with device, account or enquiry information. Where that occurs, the Privacy Policy also applies.
2. Essential cookies
Essential technologies support functions needed for the website to operate reliably, maintain security, route requests, remember a user choice or complete a requested interaction. Because these functions are connected with the service a visitor asks the website to provide, disabling them can cause parts of the site to behave unexpectedly or become unavailable.
Essential technologies are used only for the function they support and are not intended to create behavioural advertising profiles. Their duration can be limited to the browsing session or persist for a period necessary to preserve a relevant setting or security function.
3. Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies, where enabled, help the business understand matters such as which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, whether pages load correctly, broad device categories and which content leads to an enquiry. The purpose is to improve navigation, content structure and service information rather than to assess the contents of a visitor’s safe, property or personal circumstances.
Analytics data may be processed in aggregated or pseudonymous form and can be handled by a service provider acting on behalf of the business. Retention periods depend on the configured provider and the purpose for which the data is kept. Where consent is required, analytics technologies should be activated consistently with that requirement.
4. Advertising and measurement cookies
Advertising or campaign-measurement technologies, where enabled, can record that a visitor arrived from an advertisement, interacted with particular content or completed an enquiry step. They may use browser or device identifiers to reduce duplicate measurement and to report campaign performance.
Third-party advertising providers may process information under their own privacy terms when their technology is used. The business does not use the enquiry form as permission to disclose the detailed contents of a service request for unrelated advertising purposes. Any advertising technology should be used in accordance with applicable privacy and consent requirements.
5. Preference technologies
Preference technologies can remember choices a visitor makes so those choices do not need to be repeated on every page. A preference may relate to interface behaviour, a previously selected option or another setting that improves continuity during a visit.
The duration of a preference depends on the setting being remembered. A visitor can usually remove a preference by deleting site data through the browser, although the choice may then need to be made again on a later visit.
6. Third parties
Hosting, security, analytics or advertising providers may place or read cookies when their services are used on the website. Those providers can have their own legal obligations and privacy terms. The particular providers used can change as website operations or campaigns change, so the current configuration should be considered together with any notices shown when a technology is enabled.
Where applicable law requires transparency or consent for a third-party technology, the business intends to provide the relevant notice and obtain the required choice before using that technology for the relevant purpose.
7. Managing cookies
Most browsers allow users to review, block or delete cookies and other site data. Browser settings differ, but the controls are generally available in privacy, security or site-data settings. Blocking all cookies can prevent some site functions from working as intended.
If a consent control is presented for a non-essential technology, a visitor can use that control to express the available choice. Changing a browser setting or deleting site data may also remove stored preferences and require choices to be made again.
8. Retention and updates
Cookie retention varies according to purpose. Session technologies expire when the browsing session ends, while persistent technologies remain until their configured expiry or until they are removed. Non-essential retention should be limited to a period that is proportionate to the purpose for which the technology is used.
This policy may be updated when technologies, providers or legal requirements change. The date displayed at the top of the page identifies the current published version. Questions about the use of cookies can be sent to [email protected].
