Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 18 May 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how pivotgraina uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at pivotgrainax.com. It is intended to help you understand what cookies are, what we use them for, and how you can control them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle your personal data more broadly.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to remember your preferences, and — where you have agreed — to collect information that helps website owners understand how their site is being used.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They do not have access to other information on your device beyond what was placed there by the website.

2. Types of Cookie We Use

We use a small number of cookies, grouped by purpose:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They include cookies that remember your cookie preference so we do not ask you again on every visit.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration

PHPSESSID Standard PHP session identifier for form handling Session

Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we use anonymised analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and which links are followed. This helps us improve the site over time. No data that identifies you personally is collected by these cookies.

Cookie Name Provider Purpose Duration

Marketing Cookies

With your consent, we use cookies placed by advertising platforms (including Meta and Microsoft Bing) to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements and to avoid showing you the same advertisement repeatedly. These cookies do not collect personal data beyond what is required for that purpose.

3. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, a notice at the bottom of the page asks for your preference. You can accept all cookies, or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored for 12 months.

You can also change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site — the notice will appear again on your next visit.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. The steps vary by browser; you can find guidance by searching "manage cookies" together with the name of your browser. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how some websites function.

Analytics Opt-Out

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services such as Google and Meta. These companies have their own privacy policies and cookie practices, which we do not control. We encourage you to review their policies if you have concerns about how they handle data collected through their cookies.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when our cookie practices change or when regulations require it. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any revisions. Continued use of the website after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
