What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device.
Cookies can help a website remember settings, keep the service secure or collect information about how visitors use the site.
Some technologies work in a similar way without placing a traditional cookie. This statement also covers those technologies where relevant.
What types of cookies does ChipTrace use?
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies support functions that are needed for the website to work safely and correctly.
They may be used to:
- Remember your cookie choices
- Protect the website against abuse
- Apply search limits
- Maintain security
- Balance website traffic
- Provide pages and search results
These cookies cannot normally be switched off through our consent tool because the website may not work correctly without them.
Analytics cookies
Analytics help us understand how people use ChipTrace.
They may provide information such as:
- Which pages are visited
- How visitors reached the website
- Which device or browser is used
- The general country or region of the visitor
- Whether errors occur
We use this information to improve the search service, articles and country guides.
Where analytics can operate without storing information on your device or identifying individual visitors, they may not require a cookie.
When consent is legally required, analytics will remain disabled until you accept them.
Advertising cookies
Some information pages may contain advertising in the future.
Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Display advertisements
- Limit how often an advertisement is shown
- Measure advertising performance
- Prevent fraud
- Personalise advertising when you have agreed to this
Advertising cookies will not be placed before you give consent when consent is required.
ChipTrace does not sell your personal information to advertisers.
External content and third-party services
ChipTrace links to microchip registries, government websites, manufacturers and other external services.
Simply following an ordinary link does not allow ChipTrace to control the cookies used on the destination website.
Once you visit another website, its own cookie and privacy policies apply.
Embedded videos, maps, social-media content or other external tools may also set cookies. Where required, this content will remain blocked until you give consent.
Cookies and technologies currently used
The exact cookies may change when the website, hosting service or optional features change.
How can I accept or reject cookies?
When optional cookies are used, the cookie banner will allow you to:
- Accept optional cookies
- Reject optional cookies
- Choose which categories you allow
Rejecting optional cookies will not stop you from using the ChipTrace microchip search or reading our public pages.
You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link:
The link above must be connected to the cookie-consent tool used by the website.
How long does consent last?
Your choice may be remembered for a limited period.
We may ask you again when:
- Your previous choice expires
- The cookies or providers change
- The purposes for using cookies change
- The law or official guidance changes
Browser controls
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings.
Browser controls vary. Check your browser’s help section for instructions.
Blocking all cookies may affect parts of the website that depend on necessary storage or security functions.
Do Not Track and similar signals
Some browsers send privacy preference signals.
There is not one universal technical standard for all of these signals.
ChipTrace will respect the choices made through its own cookie-consent tool and any additional signals that the selected services are configured to recognise.
Changes to this Cookie Statement
We may update this statement when the website, its providers or the law changes.
The latest version will appear on this page with its revision date.
