Cookie Policy

01 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or settings — to make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, serve related purposes and are also covered by this policy. For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" throughout this document.

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies — temporary files that exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it.
• Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them.
• First-party cookies — set directly by halcorazxx.
• Third-party cookies — set by service providers we use, such as analytics platforms.

02 How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to operate and improve our website, understand how visitors use our site, and in some cases to support our marketing activity. We do not use cookies to collect personal information beyond what is necessary for these purposes, and we do not sell cookie data to third parties.

Our cookies fall into four categories:

03 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies on this website are used to:

• Maintain the state of the cookie consent banner and record your preferences.
• Support the security of our contact form submissions (CSRF protection).
• Preserve session state when navigating between pages.

04 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors interact with this website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on a page, and how they navigate between sections. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individuals.

These cookies help us improve the content, structure, and performance of this website over time. We currently use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this purpose.

• Data collected is subject to Google's data processing terms and privacy policy.
• IP addresses are anonymised where technically feasible.
• We do not use analytics data for advertising profiling.
• Analytics cookies are only set if you have provided consent via our cookie banner.

05 Marketing Cookies

If you arrived on our website via an advertising campaign (for example, through LinkedIn or search advertising), we may use marketing pixels or tracking tags to record that your visit originated from a specific campaign. This helps us measure the reach and effectiveness of our marketing activity.

We may use the following marketing technologies, subject to your consent:

• Meta Pixel (Facebook) — tracks visits originating from Meta advertising platforms.
• Microsoft Advertising (Bing UET) — tracks visits from Microsoft Advertising campaigns.

These technologies place cookies on your device which are controlled by the respective third-party providers. Their use is subject to each provider's privacy policy. Marketing cookies are only active if you have consented.

06 Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have previously made — such as language selection or display settings — so that your experience remains consistent across visits. These cookies do not track your browsing behaviour on other websites and are used solely to improve your experience on this site.

If you clear your browser's cookies, your previously saved preferences will be lost and you may need to re-enter them on your next visit.

07 Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on our website may include embedded content or functionality from third-party services, such as a Google Maps embed on our contact page. When you interact with this content, those third parties may set their own cookies on your device.

halcorazxx does not control these third-party cookies. If you have concerns about third-party cookies, we encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant providers:

• Google — policies.google.com/privacy
• Meta (Facebook) — facebook.com/privacy/policy
• Microsoft — privacy.microsoft.com

08 Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing or disabling cookies:

Our Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will be displayed. You can use this to accept or decline optional cookies. You can revisit your preferences at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.

Browser Settings

All modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies that are already stored. Instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Opting Out of Analytics

To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

09 Cookie List

The following table lists the cookies we currently use on this website:

This table is reviewed and updated periodically. If you notice a discrepancy, please contact us.

10 Your Consent

When you visit this website for the first time, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that describes the categories of cookies in use. You may accept all cookies, or select individual categories. Your choice will be stored for 12 months, after which you will be asked again.

Where cookies require consent (analytics, marketing, preference), we will not activate them until you have made a positive choice. Strictly necessary cookies are activated upon page load, as they are required for the website to function.

You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing the site's cookies in your browser settings. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.

11 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our use of cookies. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you are aware of how we use cookies. Material changes to our use of optional cookies will be communicated via the consent banner.
