A minimal, transparent consent layer.
Atlas is designed around essential website functionality first. Browser storage is used where necessary to remember your preferences and support normal website, form and security functions.
Optional measurement tools, if introduced, are treated separately so visitors can distinguish them from storage required for the website to operate properly.
1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies and similar browser-storage technologies allow a website to remember small pieces of information between page views or visits. They can support functions such as remembering a preference, maintaining website security or enabling technical features.
This policy uses the term “cookies” broadly to include cookies and comparable browser-storage mechanisms where they serve similar purposes.
2. Essential storage
Atlas uses essential browser storage where needed to remember your cookie preference and support the normal operation of the website.
Essential functions can include preference storage, ordinary hosting behavior, security controls, anti-abuse mechanisms and technical functions associated with website forms. These functions are intended to support operation of the site rather than advertising or behavioral profiling.
3. Cookie preference storage
When you choose either Essential only or Accept all, the website stores a small preference record so it can remember your selection.
Without that preference record, the website would have no reliable way to know that you had already made a choice and could repeatedly display the consent prompt.
4. Essential only
Choosing Essential only tells the website that optional measurement categories should not be enabled. Essential storage needed for core website functions and remembering this choice can still be used.
Core features such as product browsing, navigation and ordinary inquiry-form access are not intended to depend on optional measurement consent.
5. Accept all
Choosing Accept all stores permission for optional categories that may be configured on the website.
If optional analytics or measurement tools are added in the future, this preference can be used to determine whether those tools may operate. Selecting this option does not mean that every possible type of cookie is automatically present on the website.
6. Optional measurement tools
The current website is designed to function without advertising cookies. If analytics or other optional measurement technologies are introduced, they may be used to better understand general website usage, such as which pages are visited or how visitors move through the site.
Optional tools should remain separate from essential website functions and operate according to the consent choice recorded through the website.
7. Advertising and profiling
The current Atlas website is not designed to depend on advertising cookies or behavioral advertising technologies in order to provide its core functions.
If the website's use of optional technologies changes materially in the future, this policy and the consent interface can be updated to reflect those changes.
8. Forms and inquiry submissions
Submitting a contact or sourcing form is a separate action initiated directly by the visitor. Form submission is not controlled by whether you select Essential only or Accept all in the cookie banner.
Information entered into an inquiry form is handled according to the Privacy Policy and the consent statement presented with the relevant form.
9. Security and hosting functions
Website hosting, security or form-processing systems may use normal technical mechanisms required to deliver pages, protect forms, detect abuse or maintain reliable website operation.
These mechanisms can differ from optional analytics because their purpose is to support the operation and security of the service rather than measure visitor behavior for optional purposes.
10. Managing cookies in your browser
Most modern browsers allow you to inspect, delete or block cookies and other site-storage data. The exact controls depend on the browser and device you use.
If you remove the Atlas consent preference, the website may no longer remember your previous choice. When you return, the cookie banner can therefore appear again so that a new preference can be recorded.
11. Blocking browser storage
Browsers can usually be configured to restrict or block storage. Blocking all storage may affect the website's ability to remember preferences or support certain technical functions.
Where possible, the Atlas website is designed so ordinary content remains accessible without optional measurement technologies.
12. Third-party and specialist websites
Atlastradehouse.com can link to specialist product websites or other external resources. Those websites may operate separately and can use their own cookies, storage technologies and consent systems.
When visiting another website, review the cookie or privacy information displayed on that site where appropriate. This Cookie Policy applies specifically to atlastradehouse.com.
13. Relationship with the Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy focuses on cookies and browser storage. For information about contact forms, business inquiries, technical request data, retention and privacy requests, read the Privacy Policy.
14. Changes to this policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated if website functionality, consent controls, hosting arrangements or optional measurement tools change.
The revision date shown at the beginning of this page identifies the current published version.
15. Questions
If you have a question about the website's cookie or privacy practices, contact Atlas through the contact page or email contact@atlastradehouse.com.
Cookie choices, explained clearly.
Practical information about essential storage, optional measurement tools and changing your website preference.
What cookies does this website need?
The website uses essential browser storage where needed to remember your cookie preference and support normal website, hosting, security and form-related functionality.
What happens if I choose Essential only?
The website stores your choice so it knows that optional measurement categories should not be enabled. Essential functions and the storage needed to remember your preference can still operate.
What happens if I choose Accept all?
Your preference is stored as permission for optional categories that may be configured on the website, including measurement tools if they are introduced. The current website does not require advertising cookies for its core operation.
Does Atlas currently require advertising cookies?
No. The website is designed to provide its core browsing and inquiry functions without depending on advertising cookies.
Can I change my cookie choice later?
Yes. You can remove cookies or site storage associated with Atlas through your browser settings. Once the saved preference is removed, revisiting the website can cause the consent prompt to appear again.
What happens if I block all cookies?
Most website content should remain accessible, but the browser may be unable to remember your consent choice or support certain technical functions that rely on essential storage.
Are form submissions controlled by the cookie banner?
No. Sending a form is an action you initiate directly. Inquiry information is handled according to the Privacy Policy and the consent statement shown with the form.
Do specialist Atlas websites use the same cookies?
Not necessarily. Specialist websites can operate as separate web properties with their own technical configuration, cookie preferences and privacy information. Review the policy displayed on the website you are visiting.
Why does the site need to remember my preference?
A small preference record allows the website to remember whether you selected Essential only or Accept all. Without it, the website could repeatedly ask you to make the same choice.
