Cookies Policy

This policy explains what cookies are, how Glimplex Tiles Ltd uses them on our website, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to helping us understand how visitors use our site. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are essential for many website features to work properly.

Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for three main purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They handle basic functions like page navigation, remembering your cookie consent preferences, and maintaining security. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.

• cookie_consent – Stores your cookie preferences (expires: 1 year)
• cookie_analytics – Records whether you've consented to analytics cookies (expires: 1 year)
• cookie_marketing – Records whether you've consented to marketing cookies (expires: 1 year)

Analytics Cookies

If you consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve the site by identifying popular pages, navigation patterns, and any issues visitors encounter. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous.

Analytics cookies help us answer questions like:

• Which pages are most frequently visited?
• How do visitors navigate between pages?
• Are visitors encountering errors?
• What devices and browsers do visitors use?

Marketing Cookies

With your consent, marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. These cookies track your browsing activity to show you content and ads that match your interests.

We use marketing cookies sparingly and primarily to:

• Show you relevant content based on your interests
• Limit how often you see certain advertisements
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services we use. These parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We work with:

• Analytics providers – To collect anonymised usage data
• Advertising networks – To deliver and measure advertisements (only with your consent)

We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their respective policies for more information.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling cookies:

Our Cookie Settings

When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie banner allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change these settings at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer.

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these options in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser preferences. Common options include:

• Blocking all cookies
• Blocking only third-party cookies
• Deleting cookies when you close the browser
• Receiving alerts before cookies are placed

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Some features may not work correctly without essential cookies.

Browser-Specific Instructions

For guidance on managing cookies in specific browsers, consult your browser's help documentation or visit the browser developer's website. The process varies between browsers and versions.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals, but you can control tracking through cookie preferences as described above.

Cookie Retention

Different cookies have different lifespans:

• Session cookies – Deleted when you close your browser
• Preference cookies – Typically retained for 1 year
• Analytics cookies – Typically retained for up to 26 months
• Marketing cookies – Retention varies by provider, typically 30 days to 2 years
