Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.

2. How We Use Cookies

HyCarb uses cookies to improve your experience on our website. Specifically, we may use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your cookie preferences.
• Analytics cookies: These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
• Functional cookies: These enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences.

3. Legal Basis

You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and declining when prompted again.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party services (such as analytics providers) that set their own cookies. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control these cookies and cannot access the data they collect.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, delete cookies, and be warned before a cookie is stored. Please consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
• Our consent banner: You may decline non-essential cookies when the consent banner appears on your first visit. Clearing your browser's local storage will reset your preferences and show the banner again.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
