What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How We Use Cookies

polarnex uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse website traffic, and improve our services. We use cookies for various purposes including ensuring our website functions properly, understanding how visitors interact with our site, remembering your preferences, and delivering relevant advertising content.

We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to respect your privacy choices and ensure compliance with data protection regulations across the European Union. Your consent preferences are honoured throughout your browsing session and stored for future visits.

Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and remembering your cookie preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled in our systems.

Marketing/Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests.
