Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your choices (for example, that you already closed the cookie banner) and let analytics tools measure how the site is used. This site also uses local storage, which works similarly but stores data on your device rather than in a cookie file.

2. The cookies we set

We keep tracking to a minimum. The only record we set ourselves is a consent flag stored in your browser:

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
simoa_cookie_consent	Local storage	Remembers whether you accepted all cookies or chose essential-only, so the banner does not reappear.	Persistent (until you clear it)

This is set only after you click a button in the cookie banner. If you have never seen the banner, no consent flag has been written.

3. Cookie categories

• Essential — the consent choice stored as simoa_cookie_consent. The site can operate without optional tracking.
• Optional analytics — Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, loaded only after you choose "Accept all".

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

4. Third-party tools

The current site uses these external services as described below:

• Web3Forms — processes and delivers RFQ form submissions when you press submit.
• WhatsApp — opens only when you select a WhatsApp link.
• Google Analytics — with consent, measures site usage with cookies such as _ga and _ga_. See Google's privacy policy.
• Microsoft Clarity — with consent, records anonymized interaction patterns for heatmaps and session analysis. See Microsoft's privacy statement.

If you choose "Essential only", Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity are not loaded.

5. How to withdraw consent

You can change your choice at any time. To reset the banner and your consent, clear the stored flag from your browser:

• Quick reset: open your browser console on this site and run localStorage.removeItem('simoa_cookie_consent'), then reload the page.
• Browser settings: use your browser's "Clear browsing data" / "Site data" option to remove stored data for simoa-industrial.com.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser's privacy settings at any time, regardless of your earlier choice.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies in their settings. See the help for your browser:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

7. Do Not Track

If your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal, we respect that intent and do not load optional analytics, consistent with your choice above.

8. Changes to this policy

If we add new cookies or tools, we will update this page and refresh the "last updated" date. We will not enable new optional cookies without obtaining your consent again.
