Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Sun Environmental Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.sunenc.com (the “Site”). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. Cookies let a site remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or how you use the site. Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another domain — for example an analytics or advertising provider — are called third-party cookies. We also use related technologies such as pixels, tags, and scripts; in this policy we refer to all of them together as “cookies.”
Your Choices & How We Handle Consent
When you first visit our site you are shown a cookie banner. Cookies and tracking technologies that are not strictly necessary — including all analytics and marketing cookies listed below — do not load until you select Accept. If you select Reject, or simply do not make a choice, those technologies are not loaded.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by selecting “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page, which reopens the banner. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect how parts of the site work.
