Cookie policy

This Cookie Policy explains how A2ZTECHNOLOGIES LTD ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar storage on a2ztech.co.uk. It sits alongside our Privacy policy, which covers the wider question of how we handle personal information.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store. Some are needed for basic functionality — remembering that you're logged in, that you've dismissed a banner, or which theme you've chosen. Others are used to measure how a site is being used.

2. Our approach

We take a consent-first approach. The first time you visit the site you'll see a cookie banner. Until you make a choice, we only set the bare minimum needed for the site to work — analytics and any non-essential storage stay off. You can reopen the preferences panel at any time from the footer of any page.

3. Cookies we set

Strictly necessary — these cookies and similar local storage are essential for the site to function and can't be turned off:

• Consent state (a2z.consent.v1, local storage) — remembers the choice you made in the cookie banner so we don't re-prompt every visit.

Analytics — Google Analytics 4 — only loaded after you opt in via the banner or preferences panel:

• If enabled, we use Google Analytics 4 to count page views and understand which pages are most useful. This sets cookies (_ga and _ga_*) and sends pseudonymous usage data to Google. IP addresses are not stored.
• We don't use this data for advertising or profiling.

If you reject analytics, no Google Analytics cookies or scripts are loaded at all. If you've previously accepted and want to revoke, choose “Reject all” in the preferences panel — we'll stop loading the script and clear the cookies it had set.

4. How to control cookies

You have three options:

• Use our preferences panel. Reopen it from the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer to change your choice at any time.
• Use your browser settings. All major browsers let you block or delete cookies on a per-site or global basis. See guidance for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
• Exercise your data rights. See our Privacy policy for how to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when we change which cookies we set. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent change.
