Zhuzhou Times Electric UK Innovation Center understands that your privacy is important to you, and we are committed to being transparent about the technology we use. This policy explains how and why we use cookies and other similar technologies.

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. We use a cookie consent mechanism to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies and can change your preferences at any time. Strictly necessary cookies are always active as they are essential for our website to function.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.

We use the following categories of cookies:

1. Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website. These essential cookies are always enabled because our website will not work properly without them. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings, but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our website.
2. Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
3. Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
4. Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose so that they can serve you with relevant advertising on their websites.

Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
