Cookie Policy & Digital Tracking Disclosure
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and local web storage mechanisms are utilized on the Apito Products portal, how they help deliver seamless B2B RFQ quoting, language localization, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by websites you visit. They are widely used to make web portals work efficiently, remember buyer preferences (such as your chosen language or RFQ draft), and provide secure authentication for authorized enterprise terminals.
In addition to cookies, we utilize modern browser local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) to preserve client-side UI configurations without unnecessary server payload overhead.
