Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how USMICRO uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, why they may be used, the categories involved and how visitors can manage supported privacy preferences.
The exact cookies and technologies used on the production website should be confirmed against the live implementation before this policy is approved for publication.
Cookies help websites operate, remember choices and understand how they are used.
Cookies are small data files that can be stored on a browser or device when a website is visited. Websites may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, tags, pixels or comparable browser-based mechanisms, to provide functionality and support particular website services.
Cookies can help a website remember information between page views or visits, including supported privacy choices and other settings.
Certain technologies support functions required to operate, secure and deliver the website and services requested by a visitor.
Where permitted, cookies and similar technologies can help provide information about visits, interactions, technical performance and how website content is used.
Some technologies can support optional functionality, embedded services, communication features or other enhanced website experiences.
Different technologies serve different purposes and different privacy choices.
Cookies and similar technologies associated with the website can be grouped according to the purpose they serve. The availability of a category may depend on the website features, services and privacy preferences involved.
Technologies required for essential website operation.
These technologies support core website functions such as security, network management, delivery of requested services and the storage of privacy or consent preferences.
Technologies that help us understand website performance and use.
Analytics technologies can provide information about visits, page interactions, traffic patterns and technical performance, helping us understand how the website is being used and where it can be improved.
Technologies that support enhanced functionality and preferences.
Functional technologies can support selected settings, embedded services or other features that improve or extend the way the website operates for a visitor.
Technologies that may support campaign measurement and marketing activity.
Where relevant website or campaign functionality uses these technologies, they may support attribution, referral measurement, advertising services or audience-related activity across digital platforms.
Some website functions may rely on services provided by third parties.
USMICRO may use external technology providers to support website functionality, security, analytics, embedded content, communications or other digital services. These services may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with the functionality they provide.
External services may support the delivery, availability, security or technical performance of the website.
Where enabled, analytics services may help provide information about visits, interactions, traffic patterns and website performance.
Embedded media, forms, maps, social features or other integrated services may use technologies provided by the relevant external service.
Certain website interactions may rely on third-party technologies used to deliver or process communication-related functionality.
Where a third-party service operates independently of USMICRO, its own privacy notice or cookie information may explain how that provider processes information through its service.
Where a third-party feature depends on a technology that has not been enabled through the visitor’s privacy choices, that feature may not operate until the relevant preference is changed.
Cookies can remain for a single session or for a defined period.
The length of time a cookie remains on a browser or device depends on the type of cookie, the purpose it serves and the technology that created it.
Designed to support a browser session.
Session cookies generally remain active only while the browser session is open and are typically removed when the browser is closed.
Designed to remain after the browser session ends.
Persistent cookies remain on a device for a defined period or until they are removed, depending on the cookie and the service involved.
Browsers also provide tools for viewing, blocking or deleting cookies.
Browser settings can usually be used to review or remove stored cookies and to control how new cookies are handled. Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality, including features that depend on essential storage or session technologies.
You can control how non-essential cookies are used.
USMICRO provides privacy controls that allow visitors to make choices about supported non-essential cookie categories. Those choices can be reviewed and changed later through the website’s privacy preferences.
Allow supported cookie categories.
Choosing to accept cookies allows the website to use supported non-essential categories in accordance with the preferences and consent requirements that apply.
Keep only technologies required for essential operation.
Visitors can reject supported non-essential categories while allowing technologies that are necessary to operate, secure or deliver the website and requested services.
Choose which supported categories you want to allow.
Privacy preferences can be used to review and control supported categories individually rather than applying the same choice to every non-essential technology.
Review or update your choices when needed.
Cookie preferences are not necessarily permanent. Visitors can return to the website’s privacy controls to review or change supported preferences at a later time.
Review your current cookie choices.
Use the privacy-preference control to review supported cookie categories and update your selections.
Your browser may provide additional cookie controls.
Most browsers provide settings that allow users to view, block or delete cookies. These controls operate separately from USMICRO’s website privacy preferences.
Blocking all cookies through a browser may affect the operation of websites or features that rely on essential storage, authentication, security or session functionality.
If you use different browsers or devices, you may need to manage cookie preferences separately on each one. Clearing cookies or browser storage may also remove previously stored preference information.
Essential technologies may support functions such as website security, network management, session integrity and remembering privacy choices. Disabling them through browser-level controls may affect the operation of the website.
Cookie practices may change as website technologies and services evolve.
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in website functionality, technologies, privacy practices or applicable legal requirements.
Updated information will be published on this page.
When this Cookie Policy changes, the revised version will replace the previous version on this page. Where appropriate, material changes may also be communicated through additional website notices or privacy controls.
Contact USMICRO if you have questions about cookies or privacy.
