It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we handle personal data collected through our website in connection with workspace ergonomics consultation services.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site operators. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which may be referenced collectively as cookies in this policy.
2. How Sparkwyshoulder Uses Cookies
We use cookies on sparkwyshoulder.world to ensure the website operates correctly, remember your privacy consent preferences, understand how visitors interact with our ergonomics consultation content, and improve the overall browsing experience. Given the professional nature of our workspace ergonomics services, we minimise cookie usage and avoid unnecessary tracking.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure form submission, and storage of your cookie consent choice. Without these cookies, certain services you request, such as contacting us about consultation packages, may not be available. These cookies do not require consent under most privacy frameworks because they are necessary for service delivery.
Functional Cookies: Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as whether you have dismissed the privacy notice popup. Our consent storage uses local storage with the key associated with your acceptance of cookies and privacy terms. These cookies enhance usability but are not strictly essential.
Analytics Cookies: If implemented, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use sparkwyshoulder.world, including which pages about our Essential Desk Review, Complete Workspace Audit, or Corporate Wellness Package receive the most attention. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. We use analytics data solely to improve website content and navigation related to our ergonomics consultation offerings.
Third-Party Cookies: Some cookies may be set by third-party services embedded on our website. Our Google Maps iframe on the contact section may set cookies according to Google's policies. Google Fonts and Font Awesome CDN resources may also involve data transfers to those providers. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the respective privacy policies of those providers.
4. Specific Cookies and Storage Items
The following describes key storage mechanisms used on our website:
- Consent preference storage: stores your acceptance of our cookie and privacy notice to prevent repeated popups. Retention: until cleared by you or up to twelve months.
- Session-related data: temporary data required for form functionality and navigation state during your visit. Retention: session duration.
We periodically review cookies used on sparkwyshoulder.world and update this list to reflect current practices.
5. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Strictly necessary cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website for visitors seeking ergonomics consultation information. Functional and analytics cookies, where not strictly necessary, are used based on your consent as indicated through our privacy popup or browser settings. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies and local storage or adjusting your browser preferences.
6. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Instructions for managing cookies are available in your browser's help documentation.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality, including the contact form used to inquire about our consultation products. Blocking third-party cookies may affect embedded content such as Google Maps on our contact page.
To clear the consent preference stored by Sparkwyshoulder, remove site data for sparkwyshoulder.world through your browser settings or use private browsing mode.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit Do Not Track signals. There is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to these signals. Currently, sparkwyshoulder.world does not alter its practices specifically in response to Do Not Track signals, but we limit tracking to what is described in this policy.
8. Cookies and Personal Data
Where cookies collect or are associated with information that identifies you, such data is treated as personal data under our Privacy Policy. This includes any analytics identifiers that could be linked to your browsing session. We do not use cookies to build profiles for advertising purposes related to our ergonomics consultation services.
