Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how IRON PROPERTIES & ENTERPRISE (“IRON Security & ATMs”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on security.ironatms.org. Read it together with our Terms & Conditions.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember things between pages and visits, such as that you are signed in or which cookie choices you made. Similar technologies (such as local storage and tracking pixels) are covered by this policy too.
2. How we use cookies
- Essential – needed for the website to work and to keep it secure: signing in, protecting forms against misuse and spam, and remembering your cookie choice. Always on.
- Functional – remember how you found us (the page or campaign link you arrived from) so that when you request a quote or contact us we can respond properly. This information stays with us.
- Analytics – help us understand how the website is used so we can improve it. In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland they are used only if you accept them; elsewhere they are on unless you reject them.
- Marketing – measuring the results of our ads, and our email sign-up forms. Ad measurement follows the same rule as analytics (ask first in the EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland; on unless you reject elsewhere). Our email sign-up forms load only if you accept marketing cookies, wherever you are.
On your first visit a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject the optional ones, or choose by category. Google tags on our site use Google “consent mode”: for visitors in the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage stay off until you accept; for visitors elsewhere they are on until you reject them. Your choice is remembered and you can change it at any time.

4. Third-party services
Some features are provided by other companies that may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies: Google (Tag Manager, Analytics, reCAPTCHA, Sign-In, Maps and YouTube videos embedded on some pages) and, when we advertise with them, Meta. Embedded videos and maps may set cookies once you play or use them.
Our newsletters and follow-up emails are sent by Klaviyo, our email service provider. When you sign up, request a quote, contact us or book a meeting, your contact details and request are shared with Klaviyo so we can email you about it. You only receive marketing emails if you asked for them, and every email has an unsubscribe link. We do not sell personal information.
