1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files or similar technologies stored on a device when a website is visited. They help websites remember information, maintain sessions and understand how services are used.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies support core functions such as secure login, shopping carts, checkout, fraud prevention, session management and privacy preferences. The website may not operate correctly without them.
3. Functional cookies
Functional cookies may remember language, region, display or account preferences so the website can provide a more consistent experience.
4. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand page visits, navigation patterns, device categories and website performance. Where required, these cookies are used only after consent.
5. Performance cookies
Performance technologies may help identify loading problems, errors or slow pages and support improvements to speed, stability and reliability.
6. Marketing cookies
Where used and permitted, marketing cookies may measure campaigns or support relevant communications. MICROBA does not require optional marketing cookies for essential account or checkout functions.
7. Third-party technologies
Hosting, payment, video, analytics, security, social or embedded services may place their own cookies. Those providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
8. Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies expire when a browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Duration depends on the purpose and provider.
9. Managing your choices
You may use the website’s consent controls where available or manage cookies through your browser. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent login, cart or checkout functions from working correctly.
10. Do Not Track and similar signals
Browser privacy signals are evolving and may not be recognised uniformly by all services. MICROBA will adapt its controls as applicable standards and legal requirements develop.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when technologies, services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted on this page.
