Cookie Policy
How browser cookies and similar storage may be used on the website.
What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a browser. Related technologies, such as local storage or session storage, can help a website remember a setting, maintain a session, or measure how pages are used. Some are placed by the website’s hosting platform, while others may be placed by tools enabled for analytics or other functions.
The precise technologies present depend on the live configuration of the site. This policy describes categories and purposes; it should be updated with a specific inventory if new analytics, advertising, embedded media, or consent tools are activated.
Essential functions
Essential technologies may be used to support security, keep the website functioning, remember a necessary preference, or protect forms and sessions from misuse. The site or its host may process technical information needed to deliver pages and maintain reliability.
Blocking essential browser storage may cause parts of a website to behave unexpectedly. The available controls depend on your browser and device.
Analytics and optional tools
If analytics is enabled, it may be used to understand aggregate page visits, device types, traffic sources, and general site performance. If advertising or embedded third-party media is added, those services may set their own identifiers and process information under their policies.
This page does not claim that an optional tool is installed when none has been configured. Before activating nonessential technologies, WESTQEM should review whether a consent or opt-out mechanism is required for the visitors and jurisdictions served, and provide that mechanism where applicable.
The enquiry form
The contact form in this website package validates required fields in the visitor’s browser and displays a completion notice. It does not transmit the field contents to WESTQEM, set a consultation account cookie, or store an enquiry on a server. Closing or refreshing the page may remove unsent entries.
If a future integration changes that behavior, the form notice, Privacy Policy, and this Cookie Policy should be revised to describe the actual data flow and any newly enabled technology.
Your controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies and other stored data. You may also be able to limit cross-site tracking through browser or device settings. These controls can vary by browser, and deleting a cookie may clear a remembered preference.
Where the law requires a website-level choice for nonessential tracking, the live site should present that choice in addition to general browser controls. An opt-out or consent selection should be honored according to the applicable rules.
Third-party services and updates
Links to product sellers or other independent services can lead to websites with different storage practices. This policy covers WESTQEM’s website, not the practices of those third parties. Review their notices when you leave this site.
We may update this page when the live website configuration changes. Questions about browser storage or the tools used on this site may be directed to the contact details below.
Duration and purpose
A session technology normally lasts until the browsing session ends, while a persistent technology may remain longer to remember a choice. The exact duration of any installed cookie should be checked against the live tool configuration. A category label by itself does not tell a visitor how long a specific identifier remains in the browser.
WESTQEM should limit optional technologies to defined purposes and review whether a provider receives information for its own purposes. If a new service is introduced, the live notice should identify the service and available choices accurately instead of relying only on generic category descriptions.
Do Not Track and regional requests
Browsers and devices may communicate tracking preferences in different ways. The effect of a particular signal depends on the tools active on the site and the law that applies to the visitor. We do not make a universal claim that every signal is recognized by every provider.
Where a jurisdiction requires recognition of a browser preference or a particular opt-out method, the deployed site should be configured to honor that requirement. You may also contact us with a question about the website’s current settings.
External font requests
The page design uses Google Fonts to load Bodoni Moda and Manrope. A font request may share technical connection information with the provider, even though the fonts are not themselves a consultation form or a product checkout. Browser or network controls may prevent the font request, in which case fallback fonts should display.
If font delivery is changed, this policy and the Privacy Policy should be aligned with the actual deployment. The presence of an external font request does not mean that advertising or analytics cookies are installed.
