Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 May 2026 | Effective date: 11 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Guangdong ShengWei Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. ("ShengWei", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on shengweimachine.com (the "Site"). It tells you what cookies are, what we use them for, who places them, how long they last, and how you can control them. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser when you visit. They let the site remember your actions, preferences, and session over time so you don't have to re-enter them on every page. We also use similar technologies — such as local storage and browser tags — that function like cookies for the purposes of this policy.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- keep the website secure and prevent abuse;
- remember your language choice (English / 中文) and other preferences;
- understand which pages international buyers actually use, so we can improve the machine pages and buying guides;
- operate quote-request forms and route inquiries to our sales team.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of individual users, and we do not sell your data.
3. Categories of cookies we use
We classify cookies in five categories. Only "Strictly Necessary" cookies load before you make a choice — all others stay disabled until you accept them in the consent banner.
3.1 Strictly Necessary
Required for the website to function. You cannot disable these in our banner because the site would not work without them.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management / DDoS protection | 30 minutes |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Security challenge result (proves you are not a bot) | 30 days |
faz_consent_* | Site (FAZ Cookie Manager) | Stores your cookie consent choice | 12 months |
wpforms_* | Site (WPForms) | Form spam protection and validation when you submit a quote request | Session |
wordpress_test_cookie | Site (WordPress) | Checks whether your browser accepts cookies | Session |
PHPSESSID | Site | Standard PHP session identifier | Session |
3.2 Functional
Remember choices you made (such as language) so you don't have to set them on every visit.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
trp-form-language / trp_lang_pref | Site (TranslatePress) | Remembers whether you chose English or Chinese | 12 months |
3.3 Analytics
Help us count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the site. Aggregated, not used to identify you personally.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_<container> | Google Analytics 4 | Session state for a specific GA4 property | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users (24h window) | 24 hours |
googlesitekit_* | Google Site Kit (admin only) | Authenticates our dashboard, not set on visitor browsers | Session |
3.4 Marketing
We currently do not run any marketing or advertising cookies on this site. If we add them in future (for example a LinkedIn Insight Tag or Google Tag Manager remarketing pixel), they will appear here and will only load after you opt in.
3.5 Third-party embedded content
Some pages embed third-party content that may set its own cookies the moment the content loads:
| Service | When it appears | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube (Google) | Machine pages with embedded video | Sets VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC, __Secure-YEC, PREF, SOCS to track video preferences and ad targeting. Loaded in privacy-enhanced mode where supported. |
| Google Fonts | All pages | Loads font files; does not set cookies but does receive your IP address. |
| Cloudinary | Some image assets | CDN delivery; no tracking cookies. |
We do not control these third-party cookies. Their use is governed by the relevant provider's privacy policy — for YouTube/Google, see policies.google.com/privacy.
4. Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2. Before you make a choice, Google services (Analytics, future Ads) receive a "denied" signal for ad storage, analytics storage, ad user data, and ad personalization. After you accept, the signals update to "granted" for the categories you allowed. This means Google never receives identifying data from you until you have consented.
5. Your choices
You have full control over non-necessary cookies:
- Accept All — enable every category. Best experience.
- Reject All — only strictly necessary cookies will load. The site will still work.
- Customize — pick categories one by one.
- Withdraw consent at any time — click the small consent icon in the bottom-left corner of any page to reopen the banner and change your choices.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. The exact steps depend on your browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site (forms, language switching).
7. Do Not Track
The Site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals because there is no industry standard for how websites should react. We respect Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where transmitted by the browser.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove tools. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always shows the current version. Material changes — for example introducing marketing cookies — will trigger a new consent prompt.
