What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage and session storage, let a website remember information on your device in the same way. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of them. This policy applies to photonsmart.tech and our demonstration sites.

Analytics
We use an analytics service to understand how our websites are used, such as which pages are visited, which features are used and where people have difficulty. This can include recordings of how pages are used, in which anything you type is hidden.
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we ask before using analytics cookies. Until you accept, visits are counted without cookies, and no recordings are made.
- Everywhere else, analytics cookies are on by default, and you can turn them off at any time.
Your choices
Use Cookie preferences at the bottom of our website, or Cookies on our demonstration sites, to accept or decline analytics cookies at any time. You can also view, delete and block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the security cookies, some parts of our websites, such as our enquiry forms, may not work.
Links to other services
When you follow a link to a service operated by others, such as WhatsApp, that service may set its own cookies under its own policy.
Changes to this policy
If we change the cookies we use, we will update this policy and the date at the top.
