Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Beamtendon uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we handle personal information.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, whether you have dismissed a notice, or which pages you have viewed in your current session. They cannot read other files on your device, install software, or access your personal accounts.
2. The cookies we use
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They enable basic features such as navigation, form submission and security. Without them, parts of the site would not work as expected. They do not require consent under most privacy laws because they are essential.
2.2 Preference cookies
We store a single small value in your browser's local storage to remember that you have dismissed the privacy notice. This prevents the notice from reappearing on every page load and contains no personal information.
2.3 Analytics cookies
We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool that aggregates visitor information. Where required by law, this only runs after you have given consent. The data we receive includes the page visited, the referring source and the approximate region, but never your full IP address or identity.
2.4 Third-party cookies
The embedded map on the Contact page is loaded from a third-party mapping provider. This provider may set its own cookies on your device when the map is displayed. We do not control these cookies. If you prefer not to load them, you can choose not to interact with the map.
3. How long cookies stay on your device
Most of the cookies we use are session cookies and are removed automatically when you close your browser. The preference value mentioned in section 2.2 is stored for up to twelve months unless you clear your browser data sooner. Analytics cookies typically expire within thirteen months.
4. Managing cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Most modern browsers allow you to refuse all cookies or to be notified when one is set. Look for the settings in your browser's privacy or security section.
- You can clear cookies already stored on your device at any time using your browser's clear-browsing-data feature.
- You can use private or incognito browsing mode to ensure that no cookies are retained after you close the window.
- Some browsers offer the ability to block third-party cookies specifically, which addresses cookies set by embedded content such as maps.
Please note that refusing strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.
5. Do Not Track signals
Different browsers offer Do Not Track (DNT) signals to inform websites of your preference not to be tracked. There is currently no industry standard for handling DNT, but we respect the spirit of the request: we do not track individual users across sites for advertising purposes, and we will not begin to do so without an explicit and clear notice on this page.
6. Changes to this policy
If we change the cookies we use or the way we use them, we will update this page and adjust the "Last updated" date. If the changes are significant, we will display a short notice on the home page for at least thirty days.
7. Questions
If anything about our use of cookies is unclear, write to us through the Contact page. We are happy to walk through the technical details in plain language.
