Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 14 May 2025 · Effective Date: 14 May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Pivothelm uses on this website, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
◈ YOUR CURRENT PREFERENCES
Checking your stored preferences…
Your preference is stored in your browser's local storage. It is not sent to any server and applies only to this device and browser. You may change it at any time using the buttons above.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or consent choices — over the course of a session or across multiple visits. Cookies themselves do not identify you personally, though some types of analytics cookie may be associated with usage patterns over time.
In addition to cookies, this website may use similar technologies including local storage (used to store your consent preference) and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
Pivothelm uses cookies for two broad purposes:
- Essential operation: to ensure the website functions correctly and to store your cookie consent preference.
- Analytics: to understand, in aggregate and anonymised form, how visitors navigate the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they arrive from. This helps us improve the site over time.
We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or the tracking of individuals across third-party websites. We do not sell data collected through cookies.
3. Cookie Categories
The table below describes the categories of cookie used on this website and the legal basis for each.
| Category | Purpose | Consent Required | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Stores your cookie consent preference in local storage so the consent banner does not reappear on each visit. Required for the website to function correctly. | No — these are necessary for the site to operate and do not require consent under applicable law. | Until cleared by the user or browser |
| Analytics | Collects anonymised data on page visits, navigation paths, and session duration. Used to improve the website. No personal identifiers are retained. | Yes — only deployed if you have accepted analytics cookies via the consent panel. | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Not used. Pivothelm does not run advertising campaigns or use retargeting technologies on this website. | N/A | N/A |
| Preferences | May store non-essential preferences such as display settings. Currently not deployed but included here for completeness. | Yes — only deployed with consent. | Up to 12 months |
4. Consent and Your Choices
When you first visit this website, a banner at the bottom of the page invites you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key cookieConsent. The value records which categories you have accepted or declined, along with the date and version of the consent record.
You may review and change your preferences at any time using the consent panel at the top of this page. Withdrawing consent will prevent non-essential cookies from being set on your next visit, but it does not delete cookies already placed — to remove those, use your browser's cookie management tools.
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Common options include blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies, or deleting existing cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.
5. Third-Party Cookies
This website does not currently deploy third-party cookies from advertising networks or social media platforms. If we integrate any third-party services in the future that place cookies, this policy will be updated accordingly, and appropriate consent mechanisms will be put in place.
We use Google Fonts to load typography. Google Fonts requests are made directly from your browser to Google's servers; Google may collect limited technical data in connection with these requests. Please refer to Google's own privacy documentation for details.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. The links below provide guidance for the most commonly used browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site data
Deleting cookies through your browser will also remove your stored consent preference, and the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
7. Consent Record Format
When you accept or decline cookies, the following data structure is stored in your browser's local storage:
{
"essential": true,
"analytics": true | false,
"marketing": false,
"preferences": true | false,
"timestamp": "ISO 8601 date string",
"version": "1.0"
}
This data is stored only in your browser and is not transmitted to Pivothelm's servers.
8. Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or as regulatory requirements evolve. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
