1What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your device through your web browser when you visit. They let a website recognize your browser and remember certain information.
Cookies can help websites perform essential functions, remember preferences, measure traffic, and provide a better browsing experience. On their own, cookies generally don't contain information such as your name or email address — though certain cookies or technologies may be associated with information collected through other services.

Depending on the services and features active on FSL-Specs.com, cookies may fall into the following categories.
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These may be required for certain website functions to operate correctly — supporting security, navigation, caching, preferences, or other technical functions. Because they may be necessary for the site to operate, blocking them can affect certain features.
3.2 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use FSL-Specs.com — for example, the number of visitors, which pages receive the most visits, how visitors navigate between pages, approximate engagement with our content, and website performance and errors.

If advertising services are enabled, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, or personalize advertisements. Third-party advertising providers process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. Use of advertising cookies may depend on your location, applicable laws, your consent choices, and the advertising services available on our site.
3.5 Affiliate cookies
FSL-Specs.com may participate in affiliate or referral programs. Where affiliate links are used, an affiliate network or merchant may place or access cookies or similar technologies to identify that a visitor arrived through an affiliate referral, helping determine whether a qualifying action occurs and allowing correct attribution of a referral or commission.

Some features or services available on FSL-Specs.com may be provided by third parties. Depending on which services are active, third parties may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as analytics, advertising, embedded content, security, or affiliate tracking. For example, services such as Google Analytics, Google advertising services, or affiliate networks may use their own technologies when integrated into a website.
FSL-Specs.com does not control cookies placed directly by third-party services. Third-party providers control their own cookies and data practices, governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.
