## FAQ
### What types of cookies does Chinne Electric use on its website?
Chinne Electric deploys strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, and targeting cookies in accordance with the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR. Strictly necessary cookies, such as session identifiers, enable core site navigation and secure access to restricted areas without requiring consent. Performance cookies collect aggregated, pseudonymized data via Google Analytics 4 to measure page load speed and visitor interaction, with IP anonymization enabled by default. Functional cookies remember language preferences and region settings to streamline return visits. Targeting cookies, placed only after explicit opt-in consent, track browsing habits to deliver relevant advertising through platforms like LinkedIn Ads. Each category’s lifespan ranges from session duration to a maximum of 12 months, as detailed in the cookie declaration accessible through the consent management platform.

### How can I manage or withdraw cookie consent on the Chinne Electric website?
You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link located in the website footer, which reopens the consent management interface powered by a certified CMP. This granular control panel categorizes cookies by purpose and lists each provider, allowing you to toggle non-essential categories on or off without affecting strictly necessary cookies. Withdrawal of consent takes effect immediately for future data collection and does not retroactively invalidate prior lawful processing based on consent. Additionally, you may configure browser-level controls to block third-party cookies or enable “Do Not Track” signals, though these settings may degrade functionality on interactive product configurators. Chinne Electric honors all consent preferences for a period of 12 months before prompting a renewal request, in compliance with IAB Europe’s Transparency and Consent Framework v2.2.

### Does the cookie policy apply to embedded content from external platforms?
Yes, the cookie policy extends to embedded content such as YouTube videos, Google Maps integrations, and social media feeds that appear on product pages or technical documentation sections. When a page contains embedded third-party elements, those external providers may set their own cookies as if you visited their site directly. Chinne Electric implements a two-click activation mechanism: a placeholder informs you that accepting embedded content will trigger data transfer to servers operated by entities like Google LLC or Meta Platforms, which may be located outside the EEA. Only after your explicit consent are these third-party cookies loaded, and their usage remains governed by the respective provider’s privacy policy. We conduct quarterly audits using Cookiebot scanner technology to maintain an up-to-date inventory of all embedded third-party resources and their cookie declarations.

### How long does Chinne Electric retain data collected through cookies?
Cookie retention periods at Chinne Electric follow a strict data minimization principle aligned with ISO 27701 guidelines. Session cookies expire automatically when you close the browser, while persistent cookies have defined expiration dates ranging from 24 hours for load-balancing tokens to 12 months for analytics identifiers and consent records. Aggregated statistical reports derived from performance cookies are retained for a maximum of 26 months before permanent anonymization or deletion. Data collected via targeting cookies is pseudonymized and stored no longer than 90 days for campaign attribution purposes. All retention schedules are documented in our Records of Processing Activities and reviewed annually during the data protection impact assessment cycle to ensure compliance with Article 5(1)(e) of the UK GDPR and EU GDPR.

### What third-party services set cookies through the Chinne Electric website?
Third-party cookie providers on the Chinne Electric website include Google Analytics for traffic measurement, Google Ads for conversion tracking, LinkedIn Insight Tag for B2B audience analytics, and Cloudflare for security and content delivery optimization. Each provider operates under Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision where data transfers occur outside the European Economic Area. Google Analytics cookies collect anonymized IP addresses and are configured with restricted data processing parameters to limit information sharing with Google. LinkedIn cookies enable measurement of campaign effectiveness on professional networks without identifying individual users. Cloudflare’s __cf_bm cookie distinguishes human visitors from automated bots to prevent denial-of-service attacks and expires after 30 minutes. A complete list with cookie names, durations, and purposes is maintained in the publicly accessible cookie declaration updated every 30 days.
