This Cookie Policy explains how ValveAtlas Industrial Solutions Inc. (“ValveAtlas”) uses cookies and similar technologies on valve-atlas.com. Read this policy together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make websites function efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to the website owner about how visitors interact with the site. Similar technologies — pixels, tags, beacons, local storage, and SDKs — operate in comparable ways and are included within this policy.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential for the website to function. These enable navigation, secure form submission, load balancing, and authenticated access. The site cannot be provided without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled in our settings.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Anonymously collect information about how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, navigation paths) to help us improve site structure and content. We may use Google Analytics, Bing Webmaster Tools, and Microsoft Clarity for this purpose.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Remember choices you make, such as language preference or your selected currency (CAD or USD), to deliver a more personalized experience.

2.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Set by ValveAtlas or by third-party advertising partners to deliver relevant ads on other websites, measure campaign effectiveness, and limit ad frequency. May include Google Ads, LinkedIn Insights, and similar B2B advertising tools.

2.5 Specific analytics processors we use

All non-essential cookies are blocked until you consent via the cookie banner. Essential cookies (session, security, language preference) are necessary for the site to function and cannot be disabled.

2.6 Consent Mode v2

We use Google Consent Mode v2. Before you give consent, our analytics processors operate in “consent-denied” mode and do not set tracking cookies or collect personal information. Once you accept analytics cookies, the processors receive a consent signal and begin standard data collection. You can withdraw consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in our footer.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use. These third parties may include:

• Google (Analytics, Ads) — measurement and remarketing
• Microsoft (Bing Webmaster Tools, Clarity) — analytics and session replay
• WhatsApp Business — chat integration on selected pages
• YouTube / Vimeo — embedded product videos
• LinkedIn — social tracking and B2B advertising

Each third party operates under its own privacy policy; we recommend reviewing those policies for information on how they handle data.

4. Duration

• Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between 24 hours and 24 months depending on purpose.

5. Your Consent and Choices

By using our website, you consent to the use of strictly necessary cookies. For non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing, functional), we obtain your consent through a cookie consent banner where required by applicable law. You may change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time.

UK and EU residents: under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and GDPR, we obtain opt-in consent before setting non-essential cookies.

Quebec residents: under Quebec Law 25 (Bill 64), we obtain your express consent before deploying technology that identifies, locates, or profiles you, and we provide notice in advance.

You may also control cookies through:

• Browser settings (view, block, or delete cookies — see your browser’s help section).
• Opt-out tools:
  • Google Analytics — tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Network Advertising Initiative — optout.networkadvertising.org
  • Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada — youradchoices.ca
  • Your Online Choices (UK/EU) — youronlinechoices.com

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of our website from functioning correctly.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Many browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no consistent industry or legal standard for DNT signals at this time, our website does not currently respond to DNT requests. We continue to monitor this area and will update our practices as standards evolve.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised. Material changes will be announced through the website or via the cookie consent banner.
