This policy explains how Maximon Solutions Ltd (“we”, “us”) uses cookies, pixels and similar technologies on www.maximonsolutions.com, and how you can control them. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies and pixels are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Pixels (also called tags or web beacons) are small pieces of code that send information about your visit to us or to a third party. We use “cookies” below to cover both, and similar technologies such as local storage.
Your choices
When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you Accept All, Reject All or choose by category. Only strictly necessary cookies are set until you choose. Advertising cookies, including the Meta Pixel, are never set unless you accept the Advertising category.
You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything collected before you withdrew it. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though parts of the site, such as the basket and checkout, may then stop working.

The Meta Pixel and other advertising technologies
If you accept Advertising cookies, we use the Meta Pixel and Meta’s Conversions API. With them, we and third parties, including Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, use cookies, pixels, web beacons and similar storage technologies to collect or receive information from this website and elsewhere on the internet. That information includes the pages you view, the actions you take (such as viewing a product, adding to basket, sending an enquiry or buying), your browser and device details and your IP address.
Meta and other third parties use this information to measure how well our ads work, to show our ads to people likely to be interested, to build audiences of past visitors, and to provide measurement and ad-delivery services. Meta may also use it for its own purposes under the Meta Privacy Policy.
When you send an enquiry or place an order and have accepted Advertising cookies, we may also share your email address or phone number with Meta in hashed (scrambled) form so it can match the action to a Meta account. Meta deletes this information after matching. We never send Meta payment details or anything that reveals sensitive information about you.
Google Ads tags work in a similar way under Google’s Privacy Policy.
How to opt out of ad targeting
You can stop the collection and use of your information for ad targeting at any time:
- On this site: choose Reject All, or switch off Advertising, in Cookie settings in our footer.
- Industry opt-out tools: youronlinechoices.eu (UK and Europe) and aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance).
- On Meta: use the ad settings in your Facebook or Instagram Accounts Centre to manage ads based on your activity on other websites.
- On Google: use Google’s My Ad Center.
- In your browser: block third-party cookies or use private browsing.
Opting out means you still see ads, but they are less likely to be based on your visit to our site.
