1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, improve performance, and provide information to the website owners. Cookies may be "session cookies" which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies" which remain on your device for a longer period or until manually deleted.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on beamcharge.world for the following purposes:
- To store your cookie consent preference so we do not show the consent banner on every page visit
- To help us understand how visitors use and navigate our website through anonymised analytics data

- To ensure the embedded Google Map on our Contact page displays correctly
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The cookies placed on our website fall into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as navigation and consent storage. These cannot be disabled without affecting the website's basic operation.

6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as no universal standard for interpreting these signals has been established. We continue to monitor this area.
