Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and understand how pages are used.

How We Use Cookies

System Ashfield uses a minimal cookie approach. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Cookies We Use

Note: The consent preference is stored in localStorage rather than a traditional cookie, but serves the same functional purpose and is covered by this policy.

Essential vs Analytics

Essential — The consent preference storage is essential to remember your banner choice and prevent repeated prompts.

Analytics — If you accept cookies, we may load Google Analytics to understand which equipment guides are most read. Analytics cookies are not loaded if you reject.

Managing Cookies

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner on your first visit. You may also clear localStorage and cookies through your browser settings:

• Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
• Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Rejecting analytics cookies does not affect site functionality. You can still read all pages, submit contact forms, and navigate normally.

Third-Party Cookies

Google Analytics, when enabled, may set its own cookies subject to Google’s privacy policy. We do not control third-party cookie behavior.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling all storage may cause the cookie banner to reappear on each visit. Contact form submission does not require cookies.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our analytics practices change. Check the effective date below.

Effective date: 1 January 2026
