Cookie Policy

Which cookies we use and how you can manage them.

Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how pdaccess.com ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website pdaccess.com (the "Site"). It forms part of our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. When you return to the site, your browser sends the cookie back, which lets the site recognise you. We use a small number of cookies: one records your consent choice, one powers optional site analytics (set only after you accept), and one links your form submissions to your visits. All of them contain a randomly generated identifier, your consent choice, or nothing personal at all — none of them contains, and none is ever linked to by us with, personal information such as your name or email address. We do not use advertising, marketing, or third-party analytics cookies.

On your first visit you will see a banner explaining how we use cookies. You can:

  • Accept — enables the optional site-analytics cookie and records your choice.
  • Decline — records your choice and keeps analytics off.
  • More information — shows a summary of this policy in a dialog.

Your choice is stored in the automata_consent cookie for 12 months. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser cookies for this site; the banner will then reappear. If you decline — or if you have not made a choice yet — we do not set the analytics cookie and collect no analytics data from you.

Cookies We Use

We set up to three cookies.

  • Set by: the cookie banner, when you accept or decline
  • Value: accept or decline (your choice; no personal data)
  • Lifetime: 12 months
  • Scope: entire site (path=/), SameSite=Lax, Secure
  • Purpose: to remember your choice about the optional analytics cookie.

a331a (site analytics — only after you accept)

  • Set by: a small first-party script loaded on our pages, only after you accept the cookie banner
  • Value: a random identifier (no personal data)
  • Lifetime: 1 year
  • Scope: entire site (path=/), SameSite=Lax, Secure
  • Purpose: to recognise that you have visited us before and to attribute page views to that visit. Page-view events (the page you visit, the page you came from, and the page title) are sent to our own tracking endpoint and processed on infrastructure that we operate and control ourselves.

automata_visitor (form submissions)

  • Set by: the form code on our contact and sales pages, when you submit a form
  • Value: a random identifier (no personal data)
  • Lifetime: 1 year
  • Scope: entire site (path=/), SameSite=Lax, Secure
  • Purpose: sent alongside your form submission so that we can link a submission to your earlier visits and recognise that you have contacted us before.

What We Do Not Do

  • We do not run analytics before you have accepted.
  • We do not use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics).
  • We do not set advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies.
  • We do not share the identifiers stored in these cookies with external parties for advertising purposes.
  • All tracking described in this policy is run on infrastructure that we operate and control ourselves.

Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. The analytics cookie is optional, so declining it — or deleting cookies — will not break the Site: you can browse all pages and submit our forms normally; we simply will not be able to recognise you as a returning visitor, and no analytics data will be collected from you.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at hello@pdaccess.com or review our full Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
