Cookie policy
Short, because we set almost nothing. This site has no advertising trackers and no third-party analytics.
| Name | Set for | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| th_admin | Operations staff only | Keeps an authenticated operator signed in to the operations console. It is HttpOnly, which means page scripts cannot read it, and it is never set for a buyer. | 8 hours |
What we use instead of tracking cookies
Conversion measurement is done with first-party events written to our own database when you visit a page or submit an enquiry — a page view, a form start, a download. No identifier is stored on your device for this, and nothing is shared with third parties. Because none of it depends on reading or writing cookies on your device, it does not require the consent that tracking cookies would.
Why there is no consent banner
A banner is required for cookies that are not strictly necessary. This site does not set any. Adding a banner to ask permission for something we do not do would train people to click “accept” without reading — which makes the real consent requests, on sites that actually track, less meaningful.
Controlling storage in your browser
You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies will not affect the public catalogue or the enquiry form; it would only prevent an operator from staying signed in to the console. The one thing stored in your browser during a normal visit is a session identifier in session storage, which is discarded when you close the tab and is used only to avoid counting the same visitor twice.
