This Cookie Policy outlines how EquipSpares (“we”, “us”, “our”) utilizes cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to ensure our platform operates securely and efficiently when you browse EquipSpares.com.
1. Understanding Cookies
Cookies are encrypted text files placed on your device’s browser. They allow our servers to recognize your device, ensuring you do not lose items in your shopping cart when navigating between pages, and helping us maintain a secure connection during checkout.
2. Categorization of Cookies Used
- Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies: These are the foundational cookies required for the website to function. They handle core processes such as user authentication, security load balancing, and maintaining your shopping cart state. The site cannot function properly without these, and they cannot be disabled in our systems.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: We utilize third-party tools (like Google Analytics) to aggregate anonymous data on how visitors interact with our catalog. This data helps us optimize site speed, improve search functionality for Manufacturer Part Numbers (MPNs), and refine our technical content.
- Functional Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred timezone, language, or region) to provide an enhanced, more personalized procurement experience.
3. Third-Party Integrations
To process your orders and ensure secure logistics, we integrate with secure third-party services. Gateways like PayPal and logistics tracking APIs may set their own cookies to authenticate transactions, prevent fraud, and verify your identity during the payment process. These are governed by the respective privacy policies of those providers.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You maintain full control over non-essential cookies. You can modify your browser settings to decline cookies or alert you when a cookie is being set. However, please be aware that restricting essential cookies will directly impair your ability to complete a purchase or use the “Add to Quote” functionality on our platform.
