This Cookie Policy explains how Lock and Tech USA (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://lockandtech.com (the “Site”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.
By continuing to use our Site, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Lock and Tech USA) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, advertising, and interactive content.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) — small graphic images used to track user behavior on our Site or in emails we send.
- Scripts and tags — small pieces of code that enable tracking and analytics functions.
- Local storage — data stored in your browser that allows websites to remember information about your visit.
For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors to enhance the experience on our Site, measure website performance, and deliver relevant communications.
Specifically, we use cookies to:
- Ensure the Site functions correctly and securely
- Authenticate users and protect against fraudulent activity
- Remember your preferences and settings (such as language or region)
- Understand how visitors interact with our Site so we can improve its performance
- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Deliver advertising that is relevant to you, both on our Site and elsewhere online
- Enable social media features and sharing functionality
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, accessibility, and account authentication. Without these cookies, services you have requested (such as submitting an estimate request or logging into an account) cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings.
Examples: session identifiers, load balancing cookies, CSRF protection tokens, cookie-consent preference cookies.
3.2 Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location office — Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Keyport, NJ) and to provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as pre-filling a form with previously entered contact details.
Examples: language preference, office location preference, last-viewed service pages.
3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter error messages. This helps us understand and improve how the Site works. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
Examples: Google Analytics, heatmap tracking, session recording tools.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission and may track your browsing activity across other websites.
Examples: Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Microsoft Advertising.
3.5 Social Media Cookies
These cookies enable you to share content from our Site on social media platforms and may track your activity across different sites. They are set by social media services we have added to the Site to enable you to share our content with your networks.
Examples: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube embed cookies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Site, deliver advertisements, and so on. These third parties may include, but are not limited to:
- Google (Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager)
- Meta Platforms (Facebook Pixel, Instagram)
- Microsoft (Bing Ads, Clarity)
- YouTube (for embedded video content)
- LinkedIn (Insight Tag for B2B analytics)
Each third-party service is governed by its own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies to understand how these providers collect and use your data.
5. How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a “session” cookie or a “persistent” cookie:
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire (based on a predefined date) or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies used on our Site typically expire between 30 days and 24 months after they are set.
6. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies
6.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” or “Manage Preferences” link in the footer of our website.
6.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set. Please note that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our Site may become inaccessible or may not function properly.
Instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers are available here:
6.3 Opt-Out Tools for Advertising Cookies
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many advertising networks through the following industry tools:
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA)
6.4 Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track your browsing activity. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to them. You can still control tracking through the cookie preferences and browser settings described above.
6.5 California Residents
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information (which may include data collected through advertising cookies). You can exercise this right by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our website footer or by contacting us using the details below.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, changes in applicable law, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
