Privacy Policy

1. General Information

We use cookies and similar technologies to make our website user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device when you visit a site. They serve a variety of functions to enhance your experience.

Cookies help us in the following ways:

Essential functionality: Some cookies are necessary for the site to function properly – for example, for navigating pages and accessing secure areas or forms.

Preference storage: Certain cookies remember your preferences (such as language or region selection) to personalize your experience.

Statistics: Cookies can help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting anonymous usage data, so we can improve our content and services.

Marketing: Cookies may be used to track your browsing habits so we can show you relevant advertisements, though we currently do not host third-party ads, and any such cookies would only be used with your consent.

In summary, some cookies are required for technical reasons, while others are optional and help us improve your experience or market our services.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies on our website as follows:

Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for basic website functions. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure account login (if applicable), and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. (For this reason, necessary cookies are always active and do not require consent.)

Preference Cookies: These cookies allow our site to remember information that changes how the site behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region you are in. They enhance personal features but are not strictly required for the site to run.

Statistics Cookies: These (also known as "analytics cookies") collect information about how visitors interact with our site, such as which pages are visited most often and if any error messages were encountered. The data collected is generally aggregated and anonymous. It helps us understand and improve website performance. We will only set analytics cookies if you consent to them.

Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites and build a profile of your interests. The goal is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. On our site, marketing cookies might be set by third-party services (for example, if we were to use a re-marketing advertising network). As of now, we have no external advertising on our site, so marketing cookies are minimal to none, but if present, they would only be activated with your consent.

3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Consent Management: When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie consent banner or pop-up that allows you to accept all cookies or customize your cookie settings. Non-essential cookies (preference, statistics, marketing) will not be set unless you actively permit us to do so. You can revisit your choices at any time by accessing the “Cookie Settings” link (usually available at the bottom of the page) to adjust which categories of cookies you allow.

If you choose to “Accept All Cookies”, you agree that we may use all cookie types described above on your device. If you select “Reject” or decline optional cookies, we will not set those cookies – only the necessary ones will remain active.

Browser Settings: In addition to our site controls, you can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most web browsers allow you to:

See what cookies you have and delete them on an individual basis.

Block third-party cookies or cookies from specific sites.

Block all cookies from being set.

Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

Please note that disabling or deleting certain cookies may affect website functionality. For example, if you block all cookies including necessary ones, some parts of our site (like remembering your quote request inputs or staying logged in, if applicable) might not work. We recommend enabling at least the necessary cookies for the best experience.

Do Not Track: Our website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent by browsers. Cookie consent management as described above is the best way to control tracking on our site.

4. Legal Basis for Cookies

The use of strictly necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in providing a functioning website service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). These cookies are deployed without asking for consent because they do not store personally identifiable information beyond what is needed for service delivery and they are essential.

All other cookies (preference, statistics, marketing) are used only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). On your first visit, no optional cookies are set until you make a selection. If you consent to certain categories of cookies, you can withdraw that consent at any time by changing your cookie settings (the withdrawal will not remove cookies already set, but will prevent them from being used or set again). We will also renew consent at least annually or whenever there is a significant change in cookie usage.

We keep a record of users’ cookie consent decisions as required by law. This record includes when and what you consented to, so we have proof of compliance.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies we use come from third-party providers. For example, if we embed a YouTube video (as mentioned in the Privacy Policy) or a Google Map, those services may set cookies. Likewise, hCaptcha for spam protection may set cookies to perform its bot detection. Any third-party cookie usage is governed by the privacy/cookie policies of those external providers. We list these in our Privacy Policy and here for clarity:

Google Maps Cookies: If you allow Google Maps, Google may set cookies to remember your preferences and track usage of their maps.

YouTube Cookies: If you play an embedded video, YouTube/Google may set cookies to track video views and user interactions (especially if you’re logged in to Google).

hCaptcha Cookies: When you interact with hCaptcha, it may set a cookie to remember that you have passed the captcha or to gather info for bot detection.

Analytics Cookies: (If used in future) would be from the analytics provider (e.g., Google Analytics uses _ga cookies, etc.).

We strive to minimize third-party cookie usage and only use what’s necessary for functionality. Where feasible, we utilize cookie-less solutions or ensure the third-party cookies are only set after consent.

6. Cookie List

For transparency, here is a non-exhaustive list of cookies that may be set by our website and what they do:

(Note: This is an example list; the actual cookies may vary. We will update this list as needed.)

beyondpart_session – (Necessary) remembers your session information (e.g., items in a quote request form) so that you don’t lose progress while navigating the site. Expires when you close your browser.

cookie_consent – (Necessary) remembers your cookie preference settings (which categories you accepted or rejected) so we don’t keep asking you. Duration: 1 year.

language_pref – (Preference) remembers the selected language or locale of the site. Duration: e.g., 1 week.

analytics_id – (Statistics) a unique anonymous ID used to distinguish users for analytics purposes. Helps count number of visitors. Duration: 30 days. (Only set if Analytics is enabled and consented.)

hcaptcha_privacy – (Necessary) set by hCaptcha to store its consent state or user challenge state. Duration: varies.

_ymap or NID – (Functional/Statistics) set by Google Maps if loaded, to remember zoom level and user prefs. Duration: varies.

(The above are illustrative. Actual cookie names and details can be obtained via your browser’s developer tools or by contacting us.)
