Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how XC Machining Co., Ltd. (“XC Machining”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on xcmachining.com. By continuing to browse or use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You may manage or withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the options described below.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, tablet, or smartphone — when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous actions. Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage work in comparable ways and are also covered by this policy. Cookies are widely used to make websites function efficiently, improve user experience, and provide website owners with useful reporting information.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to operate and continuously improve xcmachining.com, to understand how engineers, designers, and product teams interact with our service pages, quoting tools, and technical resources, and to deliver a relevant and personalised experience. Specifically, cookies help us keep you logged in during a session and remember your preferences; measure which manufacturing service pages, materials guides, and blog posts are most useful to our visitors; improve our quote request and CAD file upload workflows; and show relevant content or advertisements to visitors who have previously shown interest in our CNC machining, 3D printing, or injection molding services.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use both session cookies, which expire automatically when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period. Cookies on our site are set directly by XC Machining (first-party cookies) as well as by trusted third-party service providers (third-party cookies).

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for xcmachining.com to function. They enable core features such as session management, security, and our quote submission and file upload tools. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymised data on page views, traffic sources, time on site, and user journeys across our service and resource pages. This information helps us improve our content and user experience.

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, we use functional cookies to save your in-progress quote request drafts, remember your language and regional settings, and retain your material or service preferences between visits.

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and display advertisements relevant to your interests. We use these cookies — including those set by Google Ads, the Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag — to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show you relevant content about our machining and prototyping services on other platforms.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on xcmachining.com are placed by third-party service providers we use to support our operations. These currently include Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads), Meta (Facebook Pixel), LinkedIn (Insight Tag), and HubSpot (CRM and lead tracking). Each of these providers operates under their own privacy and cookie policies and is independently responsible for the cookies they set. We do not sell personal information collected through cookies to any third party. Where required by law, we obtain your consent before enabling third-party cookies.

Your Choices and Controls

You have several ways to manage or opt out of cookies. You can adjust your preferences through our cookie consent banner when you first visit the site, or update them at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site. Most web browsers allow you to refuse, delete, or be notified about cookies through their built-in settings — please refer to your browser’s help documentation for specific instructions.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on xcmachining.com. Disabling functional cookies will prevent features such as saved quote drafts from working. Disabling essential cookies may cause parts of the site to stop functioning correctly.
