Cookie Policy
Which cookies and similar technologies our website uses, what each category does, and how you can control them.
Effective date: 29 September 2026 · Last updated: 29 September 2026
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They let a site recognise your browser on later visits, remember your preferences, and measure how the site is used. We also use related technologies such as local storage and pixel tags, and we refer to all of them as “cookies” in this policy.
2. Why We Use Them
We use cookies to:
- Keep the website working securely and reliably;
- Remember your cookie and language preferences;
- Protect forms against spam and automated abuse;
- Measure aggregated traffic, so we know which products and pages are useful to engineering and purchasing visitors;
- Embed content such as product demonstration videos.
3. Categories We Use
| Category | Purpose and status |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the site to function — security tokens, session handling and cookie-consent storage. These cannot be switched off through our consent tool because the site cannot work without them. |
| Preference | Remember choices you make, such as language or dismissed notices, so you do not need to set them again. |
| Analytics | Help us understand, in aggregated form, how many visitors we receive and which pages they use. Where possible these are configured with IP anonymisation. |
| Third-party embedded media | Set by external platforms when we embed a video or map. These providers may receive your IP address and set their own cookies. |
4. Specific Cookies
The table below shows the typical cookies you may encounter. Exact names can vary slightly with version updates.
| Cookie / identifier | Category | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_* / wp-settings-* | Strictly necessary | Session to 1 year | Authentication and interface preferences for logged-in users. |
| cookie consent preference | Strictly necessary | Up to 12 months | Records which cookie categories you accepted. |
| Security / firewall token | Strictly necessary | Session | Distinguishes legitimate visitors from automated abuse. |
| Analytics identifier | Analytics | Up to 26 months | Aggregated visitor counting and page-usage statistics. |
| YouTube (embedded video) | Third-party media | Varies | Set when a page containing an embedded video is loaded. |
5. Third-Party Services
Some pages embed content from third parties. When that content loads, the provider may set cookies or receive technical data such as your IP address and browser information. These providers control their own cookies, and we recommend reviewing their policies:
- Video hosting platforms, for product and process demonstration videos;
- Web font and content delivery networks, which serve styling and assets efficiently.
6. How to Control Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Our consent tool — where shown, use it to accept or decline non-essential categories;
- Browser settings — block or delete cookies, or set your browser to warn you before storing one;
- Private browsing — most browsers discard cookies when the session ends;
- Opt-out tools — some analytics providers offer browser add-ons to prevent measurement.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site — particularly forms and secure areas — from working correctly.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard for interpreting these signals, our site does not currently respond differently to them. We limit analytics to aggregated measurement and configure IP anonymisation where available.
8. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove services, or when legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows the current version.
