1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to website owners and improve the user experience. Cookies can be “persistent” (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or “session” (deleted when you close your browser).
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on www.spectrumx.com, why we use them and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we handle personal data.
2. Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies used on our website into the following types:
2.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they are set automatically when you visit our site. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |
| __Host-session | Maintains session state for form submissions | Session |
2.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. GA4 collects information about pages visited, time spent on the site, navigation paths and the sources from which visitors arrive. This data helps us improve our website content, structure and user experience.
GA4 uses a measurement-based approach that processes data using Google’s servers. IP addresses are anonymised, and no personally identifiable information is stored in the analytics data we access. Google’s privacy practices for Analytics are described in the Google Analytics data practices documentation.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors to the website | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Used by GA4 to maintain session state | 2 years |
Analytics cookies are only set with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or by using the methods described in Section 3 below.
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block all cookies, accept all cookies or notify you when a cookie is being set. The method for managing cookies varies between browsers. You can find instructions for your specific browser through its help documentation or settings menu.
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including ours. Essential cookies are required for basic website operation.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript not to send visit information to Google Analytics.
Deleting Existing Cookies
You can delete cookies that have already been set through your browser settings. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions on deleting cookies. Note that deleting cookies will reset any preferences you have set, including your cookie consent choice for our website.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or embed content from third-party services. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for their use. We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.
