1. INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy explains how QSEC Tiles (“QSEC Tiles”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at https://qsectiles.com/ (the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have to control them.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use your personal data more broadly.
2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance, and to give website owners information about how their site is used.
Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They can also be “first-party” cookies, set by us, or “third-party” cookies, set by other companies whose services we use on our Website.
We may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage. In this policy, the word “cookies” includes these technologies.
3. HOW WE USE COOKIES
We use cookies to make sure the Website works properly and securely, to protect our forms from spam and automated abuse, to remember your cookie consent choices, to understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve its content, performance and usability, and to display embedded content such as maps and videos.
4. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences or submitting a form. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the Website may then not work properly.
Examples include:
Cookie consent cookies, which store your cookie preferences so that your choices are respected on future visits.
WordPress cookies, which support basic website functionality and security.
Google reCAPTCHA cookies, which help us tell human visitors from automated bots and protect our Contact Us and Catalogue Download forms from spam and abuse.
4.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information such as pages visited, time spent on the Website, how visitors arrived, and any errors encountered. The information is aggregated and is used only to improve how the Website works.
We use Google Analytics, deployed through Google Tag Manager, for this purpose. Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and ga* to distinguish users and sessions. These cookies are set only if you consent to analytics cookies.
More information on how Google uses data is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
4.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not work properly.
Examples include:
Google Maps, which is embedded on our Contact Us page to show our location. When the map loads, Google may set cookies and collect information such as your IP address.
Embedded video content, such as YouTube videos, which we may add to the Website. When you view or play embedded videos, the video provider may set cookies on your device.
4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
We do not currently use cookies to show you personalised advertising. If this changes, we will update this policy and request your consent where required by law.
5. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Some cookies on our Website are placed by third parties, including Google (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA and Google Maps) and video platforms such as YouTube where videos are embedded. We do not control these cookies. Each third party has its own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:

6. COOKIE CONSENT AND YOUR CHOICES
When you first visit our Website, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page. It allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Website cannot function without them.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by using the cookie settings button on the Website. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies from specific or all websites. The steps vary by browser, so please see your browser’s help section for details:

7. INTERNATIONAL VISITORS AND DATA TRANSFERS
QSEC Tiles is based in India and serves clients worldwide.

8. HOW LONG COOKIES STAY ON YOUR DEVICE
The lifespan of a cookie depends on its purpose. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a fixed period. Our cookie consent preference cookie is stored for up to 12 months, and Google Analytics cookies are stored for up to 24 months, unless you delete them earlier.
9. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
