1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal data that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.

There are different types of cookies:

Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
First-party cookies — cookies set by the website you are visiting
Third-party cookies — cookies set by a different website or service

2. Cookies We Use

We currently use a minimal number of cookies on www.fcscgroup.com. Below is a full description of each type and whether it is currently active on this website.

These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as our contact form and security measures. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website cannot operate without them.

We intend to use Google Analytics in the near future to understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve the website and our services.

When we activate Google Analytics, we will update this policy and add a cookie consent banner to this website. At that point, you will be able to choose whether to accept or decline analytics cookies. Until then, no analytics cookies are active on this site.

We do not embed social media plugins, YouTube videos, or any other third-party content that would place cookies on your device without your knowledge.
