Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2026. This policy explains how Acool Watch uses cookies and similar technologies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage.
2. How We Use Cookies
Acool Watch uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary: Required for the website to function (e.g. load balancing, security). These cannot be disabled.
- Functional: Remember your choices, such as cookie consent preferences (e.g. "Accept" or "Decline" on our cookie banner), so we do not show the banner again on your next visit.
- Analytics and performance: Help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g. pages viewed, time spent) so we can improve our content and user experience. We may use tools that set cookies for this purpose.
We do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
First-party cookies are set by acoolwatch.com. We use them to:
- Remember your cookie consent (e.g. stored in your browser's local storage).
- Keep your session active when you move between pages (e.g. session cookies).
- Improve site performance and security.
Third-party cookies may be set by services we use, such as:
- Google Fonts (to load typography).
- Google Maps (if we embed a map on our contact or service-area pages).
- Analytics providers (if we use them), to measure traffic and usage.
These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing them if you want to control third-party cookies.
4. Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner asking you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored so we do not show the banner again unless you clear your browser data or use a different device or browser. You can change your mind at any time by clearing cookies for our site or contacting us.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete existing cookies.
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Block cookies from specific sites.
Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect how our website works (e.g. you may need to set your cookie preference again, or some features may not work as intended). For instructions, check your browser's help section (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
6. Duration of Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g. until expiry or until you delete them). Our cookie consent preference is typically stored as a persistent cookie or in local storage so we can remember your choice on future visits.
7. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in law. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
