ST Engineering iDirect, Inc. dba iDirect (“iDirect”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies on our website. Cookies enable features such as automated email marketing, targeted advertising; cookies enable services you request like social media interactions, chat and user support, displays of maps and other features; cookies manage our webshop; cookies record your activities on our site; cookies track and provide statistics about how you use this site and third party sites; cookies also ensure basic site functions.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are text files that are placed on your computer or other mobile or handheld device (such as smartphones or tablets) when you visit certain pages on the internet. Cookies are used to “remember” when your computer or device accesses this website. Cookies are stored in your browser. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. Most cookies will not collect information that identifies you as a person (personal data), and will instead collect more general information such as how visitors arrive at and use our website. Cookies may, however, be used to create a profile of the visitor’s activities on the Internet.

2. Types of cookies

Session cookies

Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the visitor’s device when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies

This type of cookie is saved on your computer for a fixed pre-defined period of time and is not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to be able to recognize your device for more than one browsing session. Persistent cookies used on this website have a maximum storage period as indicated in the table below.

First party cookies

First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting and they can only be read by that site.

Third party cookies

Third party cookies are set by a different organization to the owner of the website you are visiting. For example, advertisers and other third parties may use their own cookies when you click on an advertisement or link on our website or we might engage a third party analytics company who will set their own cookie to perform this service.

3. Categories of cookies

The different types of cookies set out above can be categorized as follows:

Necessary cookies and Functional/Preference cookies:

Necessary cookies are required for the operation of our website. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of our website may not work if you block these types of cookies.

Functional/Preference cookies are used to provide certain functionalities to you by recognizing you when you return to our website so that we can offer you a better experience on this website. For instance, these cookies allow us to provide services pursuant to your express requests, such managing shopping carts, and enable us to set a cookie to allow you to manage the cookies on our website.

Statistics/Analytics cookies:

These cookies allow us to record and analyze site usage, namely to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that visitors are finding what they are looking for easily. If you do not consent to these types of cookies we will not be able to improve our website based on information from your visit.

Marketing/Tracking/Advertising cookies:

These cookies are used to tailor advertising and content to your interests, both within and beyond our websites. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. They also enable automated email marketing, social media interactions, and displays of maps and other features. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it, and the marketing messages we send to you, more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties who provide a service to us for this purpose.

These cookies may be set through our site or by our third party advertising partners. They may be used by those advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising (but not less advertising overall).

4. Social media plugins

  • Twitter plugin; Twitter is operated by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA („Twitter”). Find information on data protection at Twitter.

Your web browser establishes a direct connection to the respective plugin provider’s servers only when you activate the plugins. This way, the plugin provider receives information that your web browser has accessed the respective site of our website, even when you do not maintain a user account with the provider or are not logged in. Log files (including the IP address) are transmitted directly from your web browser to a server of the respective plugin provider and may be stored there. This server may be located outside the EU or EEA (e.g. in the U.S.).

If you do not wish for the plugin providers to receive, save, and use data gathered through this website, you should not use the respective plugins.
