Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Harmonia Instruments Ltd uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at harmoniainstruments.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to website operators.

Similar technologies, including local storage and session storage, may also be used for related purposes.

2. How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Ensure the website functions correctly and consistently across sessions
• Remember your preferences during a website session
• Understand how visitors use our website (page views, navigation paths, session duration)
• Improve the performance and usability of the website over time
• Support the enquiry form functionality where applicable

We do not use cookies to collect personal information beyond what you voluntarily provide via our enquiry forms, and we do not use cookies for targeted advertising or behavioural profiling.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. Without them, services you have requested — such as form submissions — cannot be provided. These cookies cannot be switched off in our systems, as the website would not function without them.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting information about pages visited, time spent, and navigation behaviour. This data is used to improve the website and is typically collected anonymously or in aggregate form.

If we use a third-party analytics service (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-first alternative), information collected may be shared with that service provider for analysis purposes. See Section 4 for more detail.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as form field state during a session) and provide enhanced features. They do not track activity across other websites.

3.4 Marketing / Advertising Cookies

At this time, we do not use marketing or advertising cookies on harmoniainstruments.co.uk. If this changes, we will update this policy accordingly and seek appropriate consent where required.

4. Analytics

This website may use analytics tools to collect non-personally-identifying information about how visitors use the site. The types of data collected may include:

• Pages viewed and navigation path through the site
• Time spent on each page
• Device type (desktop, tablet, mobile) and browser used
• Approximate geographic region (country or city level)
• Referring website (how visitors arrived at our site)

This information is used solely to improve the website and is not linked to personally identifiable information. If analytics data is collected via a third-party tool, it is processed in accordance with that provider's own privacy policy.

Where analytics tools require consent under applicable law (e.g. PECR or UK GDPR), a cookie consent mechanism will be implemented.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored on your device
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Delete all or specific cookies
• Set preferences for accepting or refusing cookies

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience on this website. Some functionality — particularly around enquiry forms and session continuity — may not work as expected if cookies are disabled.

For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, please visit:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari

6. Third-Party Cookies

Our website may include functionality from third-party services (such as form processing tools). These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with their functionality. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy policy and cookie policy, not ours.

We do not include embedded social media plugins, video platforms with auto-tracking, or third-party advertising networks on this website at this time.
