01 What Are Cookies & How We Use Them
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. PETRA uses cookies and client-side session storage solely to facilitate essential technical functions, maintain security against automated form abuse, and understand overall platform performance.
02 Classification of Cookies on This Platform
We categorize our cookies into two functional classes:
1. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies (Essential)
These cookies are required for the secure operation of our industrial quotation workflows. They include:
- Anti-Spam & CSRF Tokens (PetraAntiSpam): Transient session tokens that verify submissions originate from legitimate human users and prevent robotic spam attacks.
- Multi-Step RFQ State: Temporary local session variables that store step-by-step progress as you complete the Bill of Quantities transmittal.
Legal Basis: Strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent under Regulation 6 of the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
2. Anonymous Telemetry & Performance Metrics
We use lightweight, privacy-focused client-side telemetry (such as conversion event triggers for quote requests and technical spec downloads) to measure aggregate site performance without tracking personal browsing profiles across third-party websites.
03 Third-Party Services & External Scripts
Our website utilizes selected external CDN infrastructure to serve standard web typography and security assets:
- Google Fonts: High-performance web font caching. Google's privacy terms apply to font stylesheet requests.
- Font Awesome CDN: Vector icon library delivered over encrypted Cloudflare edge caches.
We do not operate intrusive third-party behavioral advertising or tracking retargeting pixels on this domain.
04 How to Manage and Disable Cookies
