Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Alpine Green uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience when visiting our website. We are committed to ensuring transparency and respecting your privacy at every stage of your interaction with our digital environment.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to enable websites to function efficiently, improve security, remember user preferences and provide website owners with information about how visitors interact with their content.

Cookies perform a variety of functions, from maintaining secure browsing sessions and remembering items placed in a shopping cart to helping website owners understand how their services are used and how they can be improved. While cookies generally do not contain information that directly identifies an individual, they may be associated with information that can identify a user when combined with other data.

Certain cookies are stored only for the duration of your browsing session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a longer period to remember your preferences or to improve your experience during future visits. Similar technologies, including pixels, scripts and local storage, may also be used for purposes comparable to cookies and are referred to collectively in this Cookie Policy as “cookies.”

How We Use Cookies

Alpine Green uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure that our website operates securely, efficiently and reliably while delivering the highest possible browsing experience to our visitors. Essential cookies enable fundamental website functions such as page navigation, secure access to restricted areas, shopping cart functionality, checkout processes and fraud prevention measures.

Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not function correctly. Subject to your consent where required by applicable law, we also use cookies to analyse visitor behaviour, measure website performance, understand how users navigate our pages and identify opportunities to improve the functionality, usability and content of our website. These insights help us continuously refine our digital services, optimise loading times, improve navigation and provide a smoother user experience.

Where appropriate and only with your consent, cookies may also be used to personalise certain features, remember your preferences for future visits, evaluate the effectiveness of marketing activities and better understand how visitors discover and engage with our products and services. Our objective is always to use these technologies responsibly, transparently and in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.

Types of Cookies We Use

Our website uses several categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the operation, security and stability of the website and cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools because they are required for core functionality such as maintaining secure sessions, protecting against fraudulent activity, enabling the shopping cart and checkout process, balancing server traffic and ensuring the proper delivery of website content. Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make during your visit, such as language preferences or other settings, so that your browsing experience remains consistent and more personalised when you return.

Analytics cookies help us better understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information regarding page visits, navigation paths, device types, browser characteristics and general website performance. This information is generally aggregated or pseudonymised and is used exclusively to improve the quality, accessibility and efficiency of our services. Marketing cookies may be used, with your consent, to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, better understand visitor interests and deliver more relevant communications across third-party platforms. These cookies are only activated where required and only after you have provided the appropriate level of consent through our cookie management system.

Managing Cookies

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to decide how cookies are used during your browsing session. Depending on your location and the applicable legal requirements, you may choose to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies or customise your preferences by selecting the categories of cookies you wish to allow.

Your preferences can be modified or withdrawn at any time by accessing the cookie settings available on our website. In addition to our consent management platform, most modern web browsers also provide tools that allow you to manage, restrict or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain categories of cookies, particularly those that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, may affect the availability of certain services, reduce website functionality or prevent some features from operating correctly. We encourage users to review their browser settings regularly if they wish to exercise additional control over the cookies stored on their devices.

Third-Party Cookies

In order to operate, maintain and improve our website, Alpine Green may use carefully selected third-party service providers whose technologies place cookies or similar tracking mechanisms on your device. These providers may include website analytics services, payment processors, content delivery networks, security providers, hosting infrastructure providers and other technology partners that assist us in delivering a secure and reliable online experience.

Depending on the services enabled on our website, these providers may include Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare, Stripe, WooCommerce and other trusted partners whose services support website functionality, performance, security or analytics. These third parties may collect technical information relating to your device, browser, operating system, approximate geographic location, pages visited, referral sources, session duration and interactions with our website. Each third-party provider processes personal information in accordance with its own privacy policy and applicable data protection legislation. Alpine Green carefully selects its service providers and seeks to ensure that they implement appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal information where required by law.

Updates to This Policy

Technology, legal requirements and our business practices continue to evolve over time, and as a result we may update this Cookie Policy whenever necessary to reflect those developments. Changes may be made to explain new technologies, introduce additional service providers, clarify our use of cookies or ensure continued compliance with applicable privacy legislation.

Whenever material changes are made, the revised version of this Cookie Policy will be published on this page together with an updated revision date so that visitors can easily determine when the policy was last reviewed. We encourage users to consult this page periodically to remain informed about how Alpine Green uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation of its website.
