Cookie Policy
Last updated 20 October 2026
This page explains every cookie and browser-storage item Hardware Centre uses on https://hardwarecentre.co.in, what it is for, and how you stay in control. It complements our Privacy Policy, section 4.
1. What we use
Every item below is strictly necessary for the site to work. We do not use advertising, remarketing or cross-site tracking cookies.
- Enquiry basket — local storage entry
hardware-centre-enquiryon your own device, remembering the products you add before you submit an enquiry. Never sent to us until you submit. - Compare list — local storage entry
hardware-centre-compareholding products you chose to compare. - Sign-in session — a session cookie used only while an administrator is signed in to the admin area. It is not used to track visitors.
- Preference cookies — small items remembering interface choices such as an expanded admin sidebar. They affect nothing outside this site.
- Cookie choice — a local storage entry recording that you dismissed this banner, so we do not keep asking.
2. Optional analytics
If we ever enable Google Analytics 4, it will be configured with IP anonymisation and used only to understand aggregate page popularity. No advertising features will be enabled. Until then, no analytics cookies are set.
3. Third-party content
Our contact page embeds a Google Maps location. Google may set its own cookies when that map loads. Product images, where they come from brand catalogues, are served from our own servers.
4. How to control cookies
You can delete or block any cookie or local-storage item through your browser’s settings (usually under “Privacy” or “Site settings”). Because the basket and compare list live on your own device, clearing site data will empty them. Blocking the sign-in cookie simply means you cannot stay signed in to the admin area — it does not affect browsing the shop.
