1. About cookies and similar technologies
This website may use cookies and similar storage technologies such as browser local storage, session storage, scripts and other technologies necessary to operate website functionality.
A cookie is a small piece of information stored on a user's device. Similar technologies can also store information on, or access information from, a device.
2. How Foldmark uses these technologies
We categorize the technologies used on our website into four standard categories:
Non-essential technologies will not be activated before the required consent has been obtained. ICO guidance states that users must receive clear information about storage/access technologies and that non-exempt technologies generally must not be pre-enabled.
3. Cookie consent
Where consent is required, the website provides users with a mechanism to:
- Accept optional cookies,

Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent access to the basic website. Consent can be changed or withdrawn through the site's cookie settings at any time below.
4. Third-party technologies
Some website functions may be supplied by third-party technology providers, such as hosting, authentication, analytics, communications or payment providers.
Where these services use cookies or similar technologies, they will be classified according to their purpose and handled according to applicable consent requirements.
