Cookie policy

What are "cookies"?  

“Cookies” are small text files sent by the web server to a User’s web browser that require permission to be stored on the hard drive. Once the User grants their permission to use “cookies”, the file is stored on the User’s computer’s hard drive, after which it enables site owners to analyse web traffic and notify the visitor when visiting a particular site. “Cookies” enable web applications to respond to Users as individuals. They allow web applications to tailor their operations to the User’s needs, likes and dislikes by collecting and remembering information about the User’s preferences. 

Using the “cookies”  

Packforce uses traffic log “cookies” to identify which pages are being used. This helps Packforce to analyze data about web page traffic and improve Packforce online store to better meet Users’ needs. Packforce only uses this information for statistical analysis purposes, after which all data are removed from the system. 

“Cookies” in no way give Packforce access to Users’ computers or any information about the Users, other than data Users themselves choose to share with Packforce. Users may accept or refuse the use of “cookies”. Users can set up their browser to decline “cookies”. However, this may prevent Users from getting the full experience when visiting the website.
