5. Does the website use cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files located in your browser directory. When a website is accessed, a cookie placed on a device sends information to the browser. Cookies are extremely common and used on many websites. The purpose of cookies is to improve the performance of the website and the user’s experience. Azmat Cables Industries uses the following types of cookies and similar technologies in connection with this website:

• • • Google Analytics (persistent cookie): This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Before the transfer, this information will be anonymized by removing the last octet of your IP address.
    • JsessionID (session cookie): Azmat Cables Industries uses a cookie to identify the user during the current session on this website. The Jsession ID cookie collects the user’s session ID but does not store any personal data after the user has closed his session and does not transfer any data to third parties.

You can modify your cookies settings or refuse to accept cookies at all, thus limiting the amount of personal data that we receive about you. The “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers tells you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Please be aware, however, that you might then not be able to take advantage of some functions and features of the website. For a more thorough explanation of what cookies are and how they operate, please read the All About Cookies website.

6. Why and with whom do we share personal data?

For the purposes mentioned above, we may share your personal data with third parties, including other entities of the Azmat Cables Industries. We do not sell, trade, rent, disclose, transfer, or otherwise share your personal data, unless to the extent described in the following or as agreed by you in a specific context. Whenever sharing personal data, we do so only in strict accordance with applicable laws.

Potential recipients of your personal data are listed below:

7. Will personal data be transferred abroad?

Recipients of your personal data may be located in any country. This may include countries where applicable data protection laws provide a lesser degree of protection than your home country. For instance, if you are located within the EU/EEA or Switzerland, the country where the recipient is located may not qualify as a safe country within the notion of the European Data Protection Directive or the Federal Data Protection Act of Switzerland. In such cases, Azmat Cables Industries will ensure an adequate level of protection for your data.

8. What else do we do to protect your personal data?

Azmat Cables Industries understands the importance of data security, and we want your browsing and purchasing experience to be as safe as possible. We have implemented reasonable safeguards and precautions, including technical and organizational measures against unauthorized access, improper use, alteration, unlawful or accidental destruction, and accidental loss, both in an online and offline context.

While we strive to protect your personal data against potential risks and exposures, there is no absolute security in the online sphere. We ask you to support our IT security efforts by not disclosing any data on our website that is particularly sensitive or not required in the specific context. Please note that credit card credentials will not be stored absent your explicit permission. Furthermore, you can help us protect your personal data by signing off when you finish using login-protected areas of the website.
