This page explains which cookies ifscoatings.com sets, what each one does, and how to control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how IFS Coatings handles personal information more generally.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for a site to work. Others measure how a site is used or support advertising. Similar technologies such as local storage and tracking pixels are covered by this policy too.
How we ask for consent
Essential cookies are set automatically. Every other category is off until you switch it on in the cookie banner or in “Cookie Settings” in the footer. Accepting and rejecting take the same single click. Your choice is remembered for 12 months, after which we ask again.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal we treat it as a rejection of all optional cookies and as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information under California and other U.S. state privacy laws. No further action is needed on your part.

Embedded content
Some pages embed videos from YouTube. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, which sets no cookies until you press play. Once you play a video, Google may set its own cookies under Google’s privacy policy.
Our contact and privacy-request forms are processed by Netlify, our hosting provider, which sets no cookies on this site.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working. Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on every site you visit.
Your privacy rights
Residents of California and several other U.S. states can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and can ask to access, correct or delete it. Use our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page or see the state-specific sections of the Privacy Policy.
