1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is used.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels. In this policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

2. Why We Use Cookies

SummitPro uses cookies for several purposes:

• Essential Functionality: To enable core website features like navigation, tool calculations, and form submissions
• Analytics: To understand how visitors use our site so we can improve content and user experience
• Preference Storage: To remember your settings (like preferred units) across visits
• Security: To detect unauthorized access and protect against abuse

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, tool calculators, and secure areas access.

Examples: Session cookies that maintain your state as you navigate between pages, cookies that remember your unit preferences (metric vs imperial) for calculators.

Can be disabled? No. Disabling essential cookies will break core website functionality.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We use privacy-respecting analytics that minimize data collection. Our analytics setup:

• Collects only aggregated, anonymized data
• Does not track individual users across websites
• Does not use cookies for tracking personal behavior
• Generates statistical reports on page views and popular content

What we learn: Which pages are most visited, which tools are used most frequently, how users navigate through the site. This helps us improve content and tool design.

Can be disabled? Yes — see Section 5 below.

3.3 Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices and settings for future visits:

• Unit preferences (meters/feet, Celsius/Fahrenheit)
• Display settings
• Cookie consent preferences

Can be disabled? Yes — your preferences will just reset to defaults each visit.
