3.What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information that can be retrieved by the website later. They allow websites to remember user actions and preferences over time, provide essential security and functionality and help improve performance and analytics.

We also use similar technologies that function like cookies or complement cookies, including:

• 3.1

  SDKs and local storage that store application data in your browser or app.

• 3.2

  Web beacons and pixels that help measure interactions such as email opens and page views.

• 3.3

  Tags and scripts used to implement analytics, marketing, A/B testing or performance monitoring.

• 3.4Device identifiers used by mobile platforms or in-app browsers
• 3.5

  IP-based tools used to detect location for localization, security or compliance.

For simplicity, this Policy uses “cookies” to refer to all such technologies.

4.Relationship With PDPO and GDPR

Our headquarters are in Hong Kong. We comply with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) and the Data Protection Principles governing fair collection, purpose limitation, accuracy, retention, security, openness and access and correction rights. When users in the EU or EEA access our Services, the EU & EEA Privacy Noticeexplains how cookies and analytics relate to lawful bases for processing and consent under GDPR and national e-privacy rules. In short:

• 4.1

  Essential cookies may be set without consent where strictly necessary to provide the service requested.

• 4.2

  Non-essential cookies such as analytics, advertising and personalization are set only after consent in jurisdictions that require consent.

5.Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies based on functionality and purpose. Within each category there may be first-party cookies set by us and third-party cookies set by service providers

• 5.1

  Strictly Necessary Cookies
  These are required for core site functionality such as page navigation, authentication, session management, load balancing, fraud prevention, security, access to secure areas and shopping cart or quote workflows. Services cannot function properly without these cookies.

• 5.2

  Performance and Analytics Cookies
  These help us understand how visitors use our Services. We use aggregated metrics to measure page performance, navigation paths, bounce rates, referral sources and error diagnostics. Insights derived from these cookies help us improve stability, speed and content relevance.

• 5.3

  Functionality Cookies
  These remember user choices and settings, such as language, region, display preferences, saved filters or previously viewed items. They enhance experience but are not strictly necessary for core operations.

• 5.4

  Advertising and Retargeting Cookies
  These cookies may be set by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show relevant ads on other sites. We limit these for B2B use and apply them only where appropriate and lawful. You can opt out through our preference center and via industry tools.

• 5.5

  Social Media Cookies
  These are set by social platforms that we integrate with, for example to allow content sharing or to enable single-sign-on features. The social platform may use the data for its own purposes. Please review their privacy terms.

• 5.6

  Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies
  These enable authentication, bot detection, suspicious activity monitoring and protection against malicious behavior. They may work with server-side tools to keep accounts and sessions safe.

• 5.7

  Testing and Personalization Cookies
  These may power A/B testing, layout experiments and tailored content based on non-sensitive behavioral signals, with the objective of improving usability and trade workflows.

6.Lawful Basis for Cookies

Our legal basis for processing data collected through cookies depends on the cookie type and applicable law:

• 6.1

  Strictly necessary cookies are processed based on our legitimate interests in providing secure, reliable and requested services or for contract performance.

• 6.2

  All other cookies are processed based on your consent where consent is required. You can withdraw consent at any time using the cookie banner link or the preference center.

In Hong Kong, PDPO focuses on fair collection, purpose specification and use limitation rather than consent for every technical operation. We provide clear notices and give meaningful choices where appropriate.

7. How We Obtain Consent

Where required, we display a cookie banner on first visit and whenever material changes are made to our cookie categories. The banner provides:

• 7.1.A clear description of cookie categories and purposes.
• 7.2.A “Reject non-essential” option.
• 7.3.A “Accept all” option.
• 7.4A link to “Cookie Settings” where granular choices can be made.
• 7.5A link to this Cookie Policy.

Consent is recorded by a small consent cookie or through our consent management platform so we can remember your preferences. If you delete cookies or use a different browser or device, you may need to set your preferences again.

8. How To Manage Cookies

You have several options:

• 8.1Preference Center. Use the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer or banner to enable or disable categories.
• 8.2

  Browser Controls. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See Annex A for links to popular browser instructions.

• 8.3

  Third-Party Opt-Outs. For analytics and advertising cookies, you can opt out via provider tools or industry programs listed in Annex B.

• 8.4

  Mobile Settings. Mobile operating systems may provide controls for advertising identifiers.

• 8.5

  Email Pixels. You can disable image loading by default in your email client, which may limit pixel tracking.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect functionality, especially for secure areas and order or quotation workflows.

9.Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. Our Services do not change behavior for DNT signals at this time, but we will honor explicit consent choices set through our preference center. We review market practice and may expand signal recognition in the future.

11.Analytics

We use analytics to understand how our Services are used and to make improvements. Analytics may collect IP addresses, device and browser details, approximate location and on-site behavior. Reports are aggregated and do not identify individuals by name. When required by law, analytics cookies are only set after you consent. We configure analytics to reduce data collection where possible, for example by truncating IP addresses, enabling limited data retention and respecting preference center choices.

12.Advertising and Retargeting

We operate in a B2B market and advertising usage is limited. When used, advertising cookies help us show relevant content to business audiences and measure campaign results. You can opt out via our preference center and through industry tools listed in Annex B. Opting out does not remove advertising entirely but should limit behavior-based ads.

13.Social Plugins and Embedded Content

If you interact with social plugins or embedded content, the third party may set cookies or collect data independently. Examples include sharing buttons, video players or map embeds. Third-party processing is subject to their privacy terms, which may differ from ours. You can minimize third-party tracking by declining the relevant cookie category in our preference center.

14.Security and Fraud Prevention

We rely on cookies and server-side tools for authentication, rate limiting, suspicious activity detection and protection against bots. These technologies are essential for B2B account security, quote integrity and protection of our Services. Disabling these cookies may prevent access to secure areas.

15.Emails, Pixels and Event Tracking

Our marketing or operational emails may include a pixel to help us understand whether messages are delivered or opened and whether links are clicked. This helps us manage deliverability and improve communications. You can disable pixel loading by adjusting your email client to block images by default or by unsubscribing from marketing communications.

16.Cross-Border Considerations

We operate from Hong Kong and also use servers and service providers in the EU and other regions. When EU or EEA users visit our Services, we apply GDPR-compatible consent practices for non-essential cookies. Data transfers between regions occur with appropriate safeguards described in our EU & EEA Privacy Notice. Our Hong Kong Privacy Policy explains PDPO compliance for users outside the EU or EEA.

17.Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation

We endeavor to collect only what is necessary for defined purposes and to retain cookie data only as long as needed. Our configuration aims to minimize identifiers and apply proportionate retention periods. We periodically review the cookie inventory, disable unused tags and audit category assignments for accuracy.

18.Retention and Deletion

Retention depends on cookie category, provider defaults and our configuration. We configure analytics retention windows to the minimum practical period to meet operational needs. You can delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. Deleting cookies removes stored preferences and may require you to re-set your consent or login.

19.Third-Party Providers

We use reputable service providers for analytics, security and functionality. Providers are selected based on capability, reliability and contractual safeguards. Where a provider acts as a processor on our behalf, contracts require confidentiality, security and processing only according to our instructions. Where a provider acts as an independent controller, for example a social network, their policies apply in addition to ours.

20.Children’s Data

Our Services are intended for business users. We do not knowingly target or collect data from minors. If you believe a child has provided information through cookies or similar tools, contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

21.Accessibility and Usability

We aim to make cookie information understandable to non-technical audiences while providing detailed options for advanced users. The preference center groups cookies by purpose and provides clear toggles. Links in Annexes offer additional control using browser tools and third-party opt-outs.

22.Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, our technology stack or service providers. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top. Where appropriate, we will present a refreshed banner or obtain renewed consent for material changes that affect non-essential cookies.
