Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 8 May 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember your choices and understand how pages are used. Cookies do not run programs or carry viruses. They sit quietly in your browser until they expire or you remove them.
Some cookies are active only while your browser is open (session cookies). Others stay on your device for a set period (persistent cookies), so the site can remember you on a return visit.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (always active)
These are necessary for the website to work. They manage things like your cookie consent choice so you are not asked again on each page. They cannot be switched off.
- cookieConsent — stores your consent preferences. Persistent, expires after 365 days. Set by Beigang Pipes.
Analytics Cookies (optional)
These help us understand which pages are visited and how people move through the site. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use it to make the site work better.
- Google Analytics — collects page view counts, session duration, and general location (country/region). Persistent, typically 2 years.
Marketing Cookies (optional)
These track visits across websites to allow relevant advertising if we run any campaigns. If you switch these off, you may still see general ads, but they will not be based on your browsing.
- Google Ads / third-party ad networks — tracks ad interactions. Persistent, typically 90 days.
Preference Cookies (optional)
These remember small choices you make on the site, such as your preferred language or region, so you do not have to set them again each time.
- Language and region settings. Session or persistent up to 12 months.
Third-Party Services
We use Google Analytics to track site usage in aggregate. Google may set its own cookies when analytics is active. Google Maps is embedded on our homepage; it may set cookies when the map is loaded. These third-party services have their own privacy policies independent of ours.
