6.1 Essential and Security Technologies

These technologies may be necessary for:

Core website operation;

Fraud prevention;
Spam prevention;
Traffic management;
Website integrity; and
Functions specifically requested by a visitor.

Some essential technologies may operate without optional consent where permitted by applicable law.

6.3 Analytics Technologies

Analytics technologies help us understand:

Website traffic;
Page performance;
Visitor interaction with website content;
Navigation patterns; and
General website usability.

Where consent is legally required, analytics storage and related functionality are adjusted according to the visitor’s applicable consent choice.

Some analytics providers may operate in a limited or cookieless mode when storage consent is not granted, where permitted by law and according to the provider’s configuration.

6.4 Advertising Technologies

Advertising providers may use cookies, local storage, identifiers and related technologies to:

Display advertising;
Personalise advertising where permitted;
Select advertising;
Limit advertising frequency;
Measure advertising performance;
Prevent fraud;

7. Privacy and Cookie Choices

Where applicable, T Square Civil Engineering uses a consent-management process that allows visitors to make privacy choices concerning optional advertising and analytics technologies.

For visitors to whom the Google European regulations consent message applies, the available choices include:

Consent;
Do not consent; and
Manage options.

Visitors can use Manage options to review more detailed privacy choices.

A Privacy and cookie settings control is also made available through the website where applicable so visitors can reopen the consent interface and change or withdraw previous choices.

Browser settings may also allow visitors to block or delete cookies.

Blocking necessary cookies or technologies may affect certain website functions.

8. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

Depending on applicable consent choices and configuration, Google Analytics may process information such as:

Device information;
Browser information;
Approximate location;
Pages viewed;
Website events;
Traffic-source information; and
Online identifiers.

Google Tag Manager is a tag-management system used to deliver and control website tags. The data processed by a particular tag depends on the service connected to that tag.

Where applicable, Google Consent Mode is used so relevant Google services can interpret consent choices relating to advertising and analytics storage.

Where storage consent is denied, Google technologies may operate in a restricted or cookieless manner depending on configuration, applicable law and the service involved.

Google’s privacy information is available at:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

Detect invalid traffic;
Prevent fraud; and
Maintain advertising security.

Depending on the visitor’s location and privacy choices, advertisements may be:

For visitors in regions where relevant consent is required, the website uses an applicable consent-management process before enabling personalised advertising or optional advertising storage.

Google provides additional information concerning advertising and privacy at:

Visitors may also review Google’s advertising controls at:

Page visits;
Clicks;
Scrolling;

When applicable analytics storage consent is granted, Clarity may use cookies to support normal analytics functionality.

When applicable analytics storage consent is denied, Clarity may operate with limited cookieless functionality according to Microsoft’s configuration and applicable law. Certain Clarity features may therefore be unavailable or limited.

Microsoft’s privacy information is available at:

https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement

11. Consent-Management Services

Communicate consent choices to participating services;

Standards organisations;

T Square Civil Engineering does not directly sell lists of visitor names, email addresses or comment information for money.

However, privacy laws in some jurisdictions may use terms such as sale, sharing or targeted advertising more broadly than an ordinary cash sale. Advertising-related disclosures to third-party advertising providers may fall within such definitions under some laws.

Where applicable law gives a visitor a relevant opt-out right, the visitor may use available privacy controls or contact T Square Civil Engineering at info@tsquarecivil.com.

15. International Processing and Data Transfers
