This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how Elemental (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses them on our website. By continuing to browse or use our site, you agree that we can store and access cookies and other tracking technologies as described in this policy.

1. What is a Cookie?

A “cookie” is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and understand where our visitors are coming from. We categorize our cookies into the following types:

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies These are essential for the website to function properly. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services. You cannot switch these off in our systems.

b) Functionality Cookies These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

• Example: Remembering if you selected English or Spanish as your preferred language.

c) Analytical/Performance Cookies These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

• Tools used: [e.g., Google Analytics]

d) Targeting/Marketing Cookies These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.

• Tools used: [e.g., Facebook Pixel, Pinterest Tag]

3. Third-Party Cookies

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

• Payment Gateways: Services like PayPal may use cookies to process payments securely.

   

• Social Media: Buttons for Instagram or Pinterest may set cookies to enable you to share content or link your account.

   

4. How to Control and Delete Cookies
