Cookie Policy
Effective date: 26 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Pacific Gateway Trading Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar storage technologies on our website. It forms part of our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies and local storage
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Local storage is a similar browser feature that allows websites to store data on your device for later use.
We use these technologies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and ensure the website functions as intended.
Types of cookies we use
We currently use only strictly necessary and functional cookies. We do not use any analytics, advertising, or marketing cookies at this time. Specifically, we store the following first-party data in your browser’s local storage:
- Pacific-language — remembers your selected language preference (English or Traditional Chinese) so that the site displays in your chosen language on subsequent visits.
- Pacific-cookie-consent — records your consent choice (whether you accepted only necessary cookies or also gave permission for optional ones) and the timestamp of that choice.
These values support core website functionality and do not, by themselves, identify you personally. They do not contain any personal data such as your name, email, or IP address.
Optional technologies (not currently used)
We currently do not use any analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics), advertising pixels, social media plugins, or marketing cookies. If you select “Accept optional” in the consent banner, we record that preference but it does not activate any third-party service.
If we decide to introduce optional cookies in the future (for example, to analyse site traffic or improve our services), we will update this Policy and obtain your explicit consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device.
How long do we keep cookies?
- Pacific-language — persists until you clear your browser data or until you change your language preference on the site.
- Pacific-cookie-consent — persists for up to 12 months from the date of your last consent, after which we will re-prompt you to confirm your preferences.
Both are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to us except as necessary for the site to read them.
Managing and deleting cookies
You have full control over cookies. You can:
- Reopen the consent banner at any time by clicking the “Manage cookies” link in the footer of our website and change your preference.
- Clear all data stored by our website through your browser settings (usually found under “Privacy” or “Clear browsing data”).
- Block all cookies or local storage entirely in your browser settings. However, please note that if you block storage, the website may not remember your language choice or cookie preferences, and some functionality may be impaired.
For detailed instructions on how to manage cookies in your specific browser, please refer to your browser’s help documentation.
Your rights and contact
For information about how we process your personal data and your rights under the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486), please see our Privacy Policy.
