Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies are, how Path Spark Mesh uses them, and how you can manage your preferences. We aim to be transparent about data collection and to give you meaningful control over what is stored in your browser.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser and remember certain information about your visit — such as your language preferences or cookie consent choices.
Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. They do not typically contain personally identifying information on their own, though they may be combined with other data.
Types of cookies we use
Functionality & Security Storage
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and to maintain basic security. They store your cookie consent preferences and enable core site features. They cannot be disabled.
Keys: functionality_storage, security_storage
Analytics Storage
Used to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where traffic originates. This information helps improve the site experience over time.
Key: analytics_storage
Advertising Storage
Stores data related to advertising and remarketing. Enables relevant ads to be shown to previous visitors on third-party platforms. No advertising network is currently active on this site.
Key: ad_storage
Advertising User Data
Allows user data to be shared with advertising platforms (such as Google) for the purpose of improving ad relevance. This operates in conjunction with advertising storage consent.
Key: ad_user_data
Ad Personalisation
Enables advertising platforms to personalise the ads you see based on your browsing behaviour and inferred interests. Disabling this means ads, if shown, will be less tailored to you.
Key: ad_personalization
Personalisation Storage
Used to remember preferences and personalise content for returning visitors. This may include language preferences or other display settings you have previously indicated.
Key: personalization_storage

Your rights
Right to withdraw consent
You may change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the preference centre above. Previous data collection is not retroactively affected.
Right to access stored data
You can request information about the personal data collected in connection with cookie usage. Contact us via the contact page.
Right to data portability
Where data has been collected in a structured format, you have the right to request a portable copy. Please submit such requests in writing.
Browser-level controls
All modern browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies independently. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your setup.
Cookie Usage & Opt-Out Options
Cookies help us improve your experience, but their use is optional. If you do not wish to be tracked via cookies, you can: adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies; use browser extensions or tools to manage cookie permissions; or contact us to request removal of any related data that may have been collected. You are free to browse this website without accepting cookies or submitting personal information. We honour your choice and ensure compliance with your privacy preferences.
Categories of cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses four broad categories of cookies and equivalent client-side storage. Strictly necessary cookies (always active) maintain your session, remember your cookie-consent choices and protect against cross-site request forgery; without them the site cannot function. Functional cookies (opt-in) remember language preference, accessibility settings and theme. Analytics cookies (opt-in) provide aggregated, de-identified usage data so Path Spark Mesh can improve information architecture and form clarity. Marketing cookies (opt-in, off by default) allow third-party advertising platforms to measure campaign effectiveness; we currently do not enable marketing cookies for visitors outside the European Economic Area unless local law requires consent prompts.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every modern browser provides controls to view, block or delete cookies. Detailed step-by-step guides are maintained by the browser vendors: Google Chrome (chrome://settings/cookies), Mozilla Firefox (Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data), Apple Safari (Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data), and Microsoft Edge (edge://settings/content/cookies). Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the contact form, session resume, or consent-banner state from working as intended. We do not use device-fingerprinting techniques as a fallback when cookies are blocked.
Third-party cookies, beacons and Do Not Track
Pages on this site may load resources from third parties (for example, web-font providers, embedded video players, or social-share widgets). Such third parties may set their own cookies or web beacons under their own privacy policies; Path Spark Mesh does not control these cookies and recommends that you consult the third party's policy directly. We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do-Not-Track (DNT) signals where technically feasible — if your browser sends either signal, we will disable opt-in analytics and marketing cookies on that visit without further prompts. You can revisit your cookie preferences at any time via the consent banner at the bottom of any page.
