Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Phics USA (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar storage or access technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on a browser or device when a website is visited. Websites may also use local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, or similar technologies to store or access information. These technologies can support functionality, security, preferences, performance, analytics, or advertising, depending on how they are configured.

3. Current Website Configuration

At the last-updated date shown above, Phics USA does not intentionally deploy Google Analytics, advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, cross-site advertising trackers, or embedded social-media tracking widgets on the public website.

This website uses WordPress and third-party hosting and operational services. Those systems may use cookies, local storage, server logs, or similar technologies when necessary to operate, secure, maintain, cache, or protect the website and its forms. Cookies used within the restricted WordPress administration area may also apply to authorized administrators who sign in.

4. Categories of Technologies That May Be Used

The website’s operational systems may use technologies for:

• Essential functionality: loading pages, processing requested features, and maintaining basic website operations
• Security and abuse prevention: identifying malicious activity, protecting forms, limiting automated abuse, and maintaining system integrity
• Performance and delivery: caching content, balancing traffic, and improving reliable delivery
• Preferences: remembering a choice requested by a visitor, where such functionality is enabled
• Administration: authenticating and maintaining sessions for authorized website administrators

5. Strictly Necessary Technologies

Certain technologies may be essential to provide a feature requested by a visitor, transmit communications, protect the website, prevent fraud or abuse, or maintain secure administrative access. Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary technologies may operate without prior consent because the requested service could not be provided properly without them.

6. Contact Forms and Spam Prevention

The website includes forms for business inquiries. Form, hosting, security, or anti-spam systems may process technical information or use necessary storage and access technologies to validate submissions, prevent automated abuse, maintain security, and deliver messages. Information submitted through a form is handled according to the Privacy Policy.

7. Analytics and Performance Measurement

Phics USA does not currently use Google Analytics or a similar general visitor-analytics platform on this website. If analytics technology is introduced later, this policy will be updated to identify its purpose and any relevant provider, duration, consent, or opt-out controls.

8. Advertising, Retargeting, and Social Tracking

Phics USA does not currently use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, cross-context behavioral advertising trackers, or embedded social-media features designed to track visitors across websites. Ordinary links to third-party websites do not themselves mean that Phics USA places that third party’s cookies on this website; however, the third party may use technologies under its own policies after you visit its service.

9. Third-Party Services

Hosting, security, email, form, caching, content-delivery, and other operational providers may process technical information or use necessary technologies to perform their services. Their processing is also governed by their own terms, privacy policies, configurations, and applicable law. Phics USA does not control technologies placed directly by a third-party website after a visitor follows an external link.

10. Cookie Duration

A session cookie normally expires when the browser session ends. A persistent cookie remains until its stated expiration date or until it is deleted. Duration depends on the technology, its purpose, provider settings, browser settings, and website configuration. Phics USA seeks to avoid retaining cookie information longer than reasonably necessary for its stated purpose.

11. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to review, block, or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. You may also be able to limit local storage or tracking permissions. Blocking essential technologies may cause forms, security controls, login functions, or other website features to work incorrectly.

Browser controls vary by provider and device. Consult your browser’s help documentation for current instructions.

12. Consent and Preference Controls

Based on the current public-site configuration, Phics USA does not intentionally deploy the non-essential analytics, advertising, retargeting, or social-tracking technologies described above. If non-essential technologies are introduced, Phics USA will provide appropriate notice and implement consent or preference controls where required by applicable law before those technologies are activated.

Where a consent control is provided, visitors should be able to make a genuine choice and change or withdraw that choice through the mechanism made available on the website.

13. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Phics USA does not currently sell personal information or intentionally use this website for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where Phics USA becomes legally required to recognize a browser-based opt-out signal, such as Global Privacy Control, the signal will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the website’s active technology configuration.

14. International Visitors

Visitors may access this website from different countries. Website providers may process technical or operational information in countries other than the visitor’s location. Where required, Phics USA will apply appropriate safeguards and consent practices under applicable law.

15. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Phics USA may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in website technology, providers, functionality, or legal obligations. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. If a material change requires additional notice or consent, appropriate measures will be implemented before the relevant technology is used.
