Precision Climate
Cookie Policy
How cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit the Precision Climate website—and how you can control them.
This Cookie Policy explains how Precision Climate (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
01About this Policy
This Policy applies when you visit the Precision Climate website. It explains why cookies may be placed on your device, whether consent is required, and how you can change your choices.
We aim to use cookies transparently and to give you meaningful control over non-essential technologies.
02What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, phone, tablet or other device when a website is visited. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember choices, provide core functions and, where permitted, understand how visitors use the site.
Similar technologies—such as pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits—may perform related functions. References to “cookies” in this Policy include these technologies where appropriate.
03First-party, third-party, session and persistent cookies
- First-party cookies are set by the Precision Climate website.
- Third-party cookies are set by another service used or embedded on the website.
- Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until they are deleted.
04Categories of cookies
| Category | Purpose | Consent | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, network management, form operation, load balancing and remembering cookie choices. | Usually not required where the cookie is genuinely essential to a service you request. | Session or limited persistent period. |
| Preferences | Remembering optional settings such as display or language choices. | Required unless the cookie is essential to a feature you specifically request. | Session or persistent. |
| Analytics | Understanding visits, page use, performance and errors so the website can be improved. | Required before being set or accessed, unless a legal exemption clearly applies. | Depends on the provider and configuration. |
| Marketing | Measuring campaigns, building audiences or showing advertising based on browsing activity. | Required before being set or accessed. | Depends on the provider and configuration. |
The category name does not determine whether a cookie is exempt from consent. We assess what each cookie actually does.
05Specific cookies used on this website
The website’s cookie-preference panel, where provided, is the current source for the specific cookies and similar technologies detected on the live website. It should identify each cookie’s provider, purpose, category and duration.
Examples of website functions that may set cookies include:
- remembering whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies;
- protecting forms and the website against spam, fraud or misuse;
- measuring website traffic and performance, if analytics is enabled;
- displaying maps, videos, social-media content or other embedded services; and
- measuring advertising or enquiries, if marketing tools are enabled.
References to these functions do not necessarily mean every function or provider is active on the website.
06How consent works
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies should remain disabled until you make an affirmative choice. The cookie banner should offer a clear way to accept or reject non-essential cookies and to manage categories without making refusal unnecessarily difficult.
Your choices may be stored in a strictly necessary cookie so the website can remember them. You can withdraw consent or change preferences at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
If the website changes in a way that materially affects cookie use, or a reasonable consent-renewal period has passed, we may ask you to make a fresh choice.
07How to manage or delete cookies
You can manage non-essential cookies through the website’s cookie settings, where available. You can also use browser settings to view, block or delete cookies.
Browser controls vary. Look for “privacy”, “cookies”, “site data” or similar settings in your browser’s help menu. Blocking all cookies may affect essential functions, forms, saved preferences or other parts of the website.
Deleting cookies may remove your saved choices, meaning the consent banner may appear again on your next visit.
08Third-party services and embedded content
Pages may contain content or functionality supplied by other organisations, such as maps, videos, fonts, security tools, analytics, payment services or social-media features. These providers may receive technical information, including your IP address, and may set cookies if their content is loaded.
Where consent is required, third-party content or tracking should be blocked until consent is given. Third parties control their own cookies and processing, so you should also review their privacy and cookie information.
09Cookies and personal information
Some cookie information may identify a device or be linked with other information and therefore constitute personal data. Where that happens, our Privacy Policy explains the purposes, lawful bases, sharing, retention, international transfers and rights that apply.
We do not sell personal information collected through cookies.
10Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when website technology, cookie use or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page with its updated date. Material changes may also be highlighted through the website or consent panel.
