Cookies Policy
Understanding how we use cookies on our website
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and provide useful information to website owners.
Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site, remember your preferences, and improve your overall experience. They do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, though they may be linked to such information stored on our servers.
How We Use Cookies
Frosty Accelerate uses cookies for several purposes. We are committed to transparency about our cookie practices and giving you control over your preferences.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent preferences.
Without these essential cookies, certain services you have requested cannot be provided. For this reason, essential cookies do not require your consent under privacy regulations.
Examples include:
- Session cookies that maintain your connection as you navigate between pages
- Security cookies that authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use
- Cookie consent preference cookies that remember your choices
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, and what links are clicked.
This information is aggregated and anonymous. We use it to identify areas for improvement and understand whether our content is useful to visitors.
Information collected includes:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- How you arrived at our website (referral source)
- Links clicked within the site
- Device type, browser, and screen resolution
- General geographic location (city level, not precise location)
You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie preference settings without affecting your ability to use the website.
What We Don't Use
We do not use:
- Advertising or marketing cookies from third-party networks
- Social media tracking cookies
- Cookies that track you across different websites
- Cookies that build detailed profiles of your browsing behaviour
Types of Cookies We Use
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They help our website remember what you chose on previous pages within the same browsing session, preventing you from having to re-enter information.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They remember your preferences across multiple visits, such as your cookie consent choices, so you don't need to configure settings each time you return.
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by our website. We control these cookies and use them to improve your experience and understand site usage.
Third-Party Cookies
Currently, we do not use third-party cookies. Should this change in future, we will update this policy and provide clear information about any third-party cookies and their purposes.
Cookie Duration
Different cookies have different lifespans:
- Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
- Cookie consent cookies: Stored for 12 months to remember your preferences
- Analytics cookies: Stored for up to 24 months to track long-term trends
Managing Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies on our website.
Cookie Preference Centre
When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie banner allowing you to accept all cookies or customise your preferences. You can access cookie settings at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the banner or through your browser controls.
Our preference centre allows you to:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies
- Select specific cookie categories you wish to allow
- Change your preferences at any time
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies from specific websites
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
- Block all cookies entirely (though this may prevent some website features from working)
Browser help pages provide detailed instructions for managing cookies in specific browsers. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers support "Do Not Track" signals. Currently, there is no industry-wide standard for responding to these signals. We respect your privacy choices and encourage you to use our cookie preference centre to control cookie usage on our site.
Cookie Information Table
The following table provides specific details about cookies used on our website:
Changes to Cookie Usage
We may update our cookie practices from time to time. If we introduce new types of cookies or make significant changes to how we use cookies, we will update this policy and, where appropriate, notify you through our website or other communication channels.
We recommend reviewing this cookies policy periodically to stay informed about our practices.
Impact of Declining Cookies
You can use most of our website without accepting optional cookies. However, some features may work better with cookies enabled:
- Remembering your cookie preferences (requires essential cookies)
- Maintaining your session as you navigate (requires essential cookies)
- Understanding which content is most useful (requires analytics cookies)
Declining analytics cookies will not affect your ability to access information or contact us. It simply means we won't be able to use your visit data to improve the site.
More About Privacy
Cookies are just one aspect of how we handle your information. For comprehensive information about our privacy practices, please see our Privacy Policy and GDPR pages.
These documents explain how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information across all our activities, not just through website cookies.
