By understanding how and why we use cookies, you can make informed decisions about how you interact with our services.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

Cookies help a website remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter information whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. They can also support essential security and performance features, such as keeping your session stable while you submit a contact form or request a quote.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies on the PAC ELECTRICS LTD website for several reasons, all aimed at providing a secure, consistent, and user-friendly experience. In particular, cookies help us to:

Ensure that core website features, such as navigation and contact forms, function correctly.
Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve page performance, readability, and accessibility.
Remember certain preferences you choose, such as cookie consent selections.
Support security measures designed to protect the website and our users from malicious activity.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data such as financial information, nor do we use cookies to make automated decisions about you.

Types of Cookies We Use

To support a safe and reliable experience, our website may use the following categories of cookies:

1. Necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you, such as navigating between pages, submitting forms, or adjusting privacy settings. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided reliably.

2. Performance cookies

Performance cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous information, such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long users stay on a page, and whether any error messages are encountered. We use this information to improve the structure, content, and performance of our site for both domestic and commercial clients.

3. Preference cookies

Preference cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your cookie consent status or other settings that customise your experience. These cookies mean you do not need to reconfigure your preferences every time you visit the site.

Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party cookies provided by trusted partners to help us monitor and improve the website experience. These cookies might be set, for example, by analytics services that help us understand how visitors reach and use our pages, which services are of greatest interest, and where we can improve navigation and content.

Third-party cookies are subject to the respective providers' own privacy and cookie policies. We aim to work only with reputable providers that follow strong data protection and security practices. Where applicable, we take steps to ensure that any data collected through third-party cookies is aggregated or anonymised so that it cannot be used to identify you directly.

How We Store and Protect Cookie Data

Any data that may be associated with cookies is handled in accordance with strict security standards and privacy practices. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or loss of data.

Cookie data is retained only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, such as maintaining site functionality, performing analytics, or honouring your preferences. Where practical, we use aggregated or pseudonymised data to further reduce privacy risks.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website and services. When we make significant changes, we will take appropriate steps to inform you, which may include updating the version and effective date at the top of this page.
