Cookie Policy — Tracking & Consent

1. What cookies are

Cookies and similar technologies are identifiers stored or read by a browser or device. They may support security, forms, sessions, preferences, analytics and advertising. Similar tools include pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage and server logs.

2. Categories

• Strictly necessary: security, consent choices, forms, sessions, load balancing and fraud prevention.
• Functional: optional preferences such as language or interface settings.
• Analytics: visits, devices, pages and performance, usually for aggregated reporting.
• Advertising: campaign measurement, remarketing and audience functions where enabled and consented to.

3. Possible providers

Depending on live configuration, technologies may be set by hosting/CDN/security tools, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, embedded video, chat, forms or payment providers. The actual live list should be maintained in the consent manager whenever tools change.

4. Consent and control

Where required, non-essential cookies should remain disabled until the visitor chooses. Use the cookie banner to accept, reject or customise categories and revisit preferences. Necessary cookies may continue to operate. Browser settings can also delete or block cookies, but this may affect forms, login, security and embedded content.

5. Duration

Session cookies usually expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain for the period shown in the consent manager or provider documentation. Identifiers should not be retained longer than necessary.

6. Third-party privacy

Third-party providers process identifiers under their own privacy notices and may combine them with information from other services. Site Guard 365 does not control their independent practices.

7. Updates and contact

This Policy should be updated whenever material tracking technology changes. Questions: policy@siteguard365.com.
