Cookie Policy

Last updated:

1) What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (browser or app) when you visit a website. They can be used to run the website, remember preferences, support security, and (when permitted) measure usage. Similar functions may also rely on technologies such as pixel tags, local storage, or session storage.

2) Which cookie categories may be used?

The categories below follow a widely used industry framework:

• Strictly necessary: Required for core site functions, security, or network transmission. Without these, the service may not function properly.
• Functional / preferences: Used to remember choices such as language or region, when enabled or based on your settings.
• Performance and analytics: Statistical information such as visitor counts, traffic sources, or page performance - typically at an aggregated or anonymized level. If used, we apply data minimization and transparency as much as possible.
• Marketing / targeting: Interest-based advertising or measurement. Even if not currently used, this section provides a framework for future updates.

3) First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by AquaGuard WD domains. Third-party cookies may be set by providers through integrations such as embedded content, analytics, or hosting services. When using such tools, we work with trusted providers and aim to address data-processing obligations contractually.

4) Retention periods

Cookies may be session cookies (ending when the browser is closed) or persistent cookies (remaining on the device for a defined period). Retention durations vary by purpose and provider documentation. Expired cookies are automatically deleted or invalidated.

5) How can you manage your preferences?

• You can block, delete, or manage cookies per device through your browser settings. Each browser menu differs; refer to your browser vendor’s help pages.
• For analytics or advertising cookies, industry opt-out tools (such as regional ad-preference panels) may be available depending on your location and provider.
• Rejecting strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the website to stop working.

6) Updates

We may update this policy for commercial, technical, or legal reasons. For material changes, we update the date and, where possible, provide additional notice methods.
