1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or actions.

2. How We Use Cookies

Swiss Ceramics uses cookies for several purposes:

Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility.
Preference Cookies: These remember your preferences and settings, such as your cookie consent choice, to enhance your browsing experience.
Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We currently do not use third-party cookies on our website. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required.

5. Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

Cookie Banner

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice will be remembered for future visits.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in common browsers:

Consequences of Disabling Cookies

Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of our website may not function properly. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the website to work.

6. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use local storage (localStorage) in your browser to store your cookie consent preference. Local storage works similarly to cookies but allows for larger amounts of data to be stored. The same management principles apply.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals, but we are committed to respecting your privacy choices through our cookie consent mechanism.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
