Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files that a website or third party may place on a device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and scripts. This site uses browser local storage to remember separate analytics and advertising choices. An optional tag loads only when you enable its category and the corresponding service identifier is configured for the site.
A short-lived first-party functional cookie may carry a validated product, processing, grade or application identifier when you move from that page to Request Quote. It does not contain visitor-entered contact details or free text.
If no optional service identifier is configured, accepting optional technologies does not by itself load that service. Basic server and security logs may still be created by the website infrastructure; those logs do not depend on the browser consent control.
Technologies this site may use
| Consent preference | First-party local storage under aoxi-cookie-consent. It records the policy version, separate analytics and advertising choices, the saved time and an expiry time. The record expires after 180 days, is replaced when you update your choices, and is requested again when the policy version changes. |
|---|---|
| Essential operations | The website host or infrastructure may process request, error and security logs needed to deliver and protect the site. Exact log fields and retention depend on the deployed provider and configuration. |
| Quotation context | First-party functional cookie aoxi-rfq-context. When you choose Request Quote, it may carry only the validated public content type and page identifier to the quotation page so the clean page address can retain the topic you were viewing. It contains no name, contact detail or free text, expires after 120 seconds, is limited to the quotation path and is cleared after that page loads when browser scripting runs. Otherwise, it expires within 120 seconds. |
| Campaign attribution | Optional session storage under aoxi-campaign-attribution. After you enable advertising, the site may retain UTM parameters and a Meta click identifier for the current browser session. Disabling advertising clears this session value. |
| Google Analytics | Optional analytics provided by Google. It loads only after you enable analytics and only when a measurement ID is configured. Google may set _ga and _ga_* first-party cookies to distinguish visitors and preserve session state, commonly for up to two years. The integration requests IP anonymization and keeps Google advertising storage, user-data and personalization signals disabled. |
| Meta Pixel | Optional advertising measurement provided by Meta. It loads only after you enable advertising and only when a Pixel ID is configured. Meta may set _fbp and, after an eligible ad click, _fbc. These commonly remain for up to 90 days, subject to Meta's current configuration and policies. |
Purposes and third parties
Essential storage remembers your selections and supports a consistent consent experience. Essential infrastructure data helps deliver, diagnose and protect the site. If enabled, analytics helps us understand aggregated site use. Advertising measurement helps evaluate campaign visits and contact actions. The short-lived quotation cookie carries the selected public topic to the clean Request Quote page only after you choose that link.
Google and Meta are independent third parties and may process data in more than one country. Review the Google Privacy Policy, Google Business Data Responsibility information, Meta Privacy Policy and Meta Cookies Policy. Vendor retention and transfer terms may change. AOXI METAL does not state that an optional integration is active unless it has actually been configured on the deployed website.
Manage your choice
You can enable analytics and advertising separately below, accept both, or reject both. Rejecting does not prevent normal access to the website. Disabling a category clears related first-party identifiers where browser access allows and stops its optional tag after the page reloads. A Global Privacy Control signal disables advertising technologies on this site. The short-lived quotation cookie is a user-triggered functional feature rather than analytics or advertising storage, so the optional settings below do not control it.
You may also clear local storage and cookies in your browser. Doing so may remove the saved choice, and the consent banner may appear again. Browser-level blocking, private browsing or third-party opt-out controls may provide additional choices.
Updates and contact
We may update this policy when site technology, providers or legal requirements change. The date shown on this page identifies the current version. Related handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Notice.
