Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Chemizon ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our services (collectively, the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
This Cookie Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your preferences at any time using the cookie settings described below.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner.
Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than Chemizon are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided through the Service, such as analytics, advertising, and interactive content. The parties that set these cookies can recognise your device when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.
We also use other similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), JavaScript tags, and local storage. These function similarly to cookies and are used together with cookies to help us understand how visitors use the Service and to measure the effectiveness of our communications.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- To operate and secure the Service, including keeping you signed in and protecting against fraud.
- To remember your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them each visit.
- To understand how you use the Service — which pages you visit, how long you stay, and where you come from — so we can improve it.
- To measure the performance of our marketing and communications.
- To serve relevant content and, where applicable, targeted advertising.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always activeThese cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, signing in, or filling in forms. They do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, the Service cannot be provided.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session_token | Maintains your authenticated session | Session |
| csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences | 1 year |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare bot management and security | 30 minutes |
Functional Cookies
OptionalThese cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences, language settings, or recently viewed products. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to the Service. If you disable these cookies, some features may not work as intended.
Analytics Cookies
OptionalThese cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of the Service. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users and sessions | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Persists session state | 2 years |
Targeting & Advertising Cookies
OptionalThese cookies may be set through the Service by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or advertisements on other sites. They do not store personal information directly but uniquely identify your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will see less targeted advertising.
Other Tracking Technologies
Web Beacons and Pixel Tags
We may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) — tiny invisible images embedded in web pages and emails — to track page visits, email opens, and link clicks. This helps us understand campaign performance and user engagement. Beacons typically rely on cookies to function; disabling cookies limits their effectiveness.
Local Storage
We may use browser local storage to persist certain preferences and state information on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically sent to our servers and has no built-in expiry — it remains until you clear your browser data. You can clear local storage through your browser settings.
JavaScript Tags
We use JavaScript tags from third-party analytics and advertising providers to collect data about how visitors use the Service. These tags work alongside cookies to give us a fuller picture of user behaviour and traffic sources.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Service are set by third parties such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities across different websites. We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for them. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you encounter through our Service.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Cookie Banner
When you first visit the Service, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner where you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. You can revisit and update your preferences at any time.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. Instructions for common browsers:
Please note that restricting or disabling cookies may impact the functionality of the Service. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the Service to operate correctly.
Opt-Out of Analytics
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that lets you indicate you do not wish to be tracked across websites. Because there is currently no agreed industry standard for responding to DNT signals, we do not alter our data collection practices based on DNT signals at this time.
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Where required by applicable law (including the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR), we rely on the following legal bases for placing cookies:
- Consent — for all optional cookies (analytics, functional, targeting). You provide consent via the cookie banner and may withdraw it at any time.
- Legitimate interests — for essential security and performance cookies that are strictly necessary to deliver the Service.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies may be either session cookies — which expire when you close your browser — or persistent cookies — which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The retention period for each cookie is indicated in the tables above. We do not retain cookie data for longer than necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
