Cookie policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored by a browser to help a website work, remember settings, measure usage or protect services from misuse. Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage and server logs.

National Grid Pakistan's public website should use cookies conservatively and only where they support a clear website purpose.

Types of cookies

The website may use the following categories.

• Strictly necessary cookies that keep the site functioning, maintain security and support form submission.
• Preference cookies that remember choices such as dismissed notices or display preferences.
• Analytics cookies that help National Grid Pakistan understand which pages, documents, tenders or notices are used most often.
• Third-party cookies only where an approved embedded service, map, video or analytics tool requires them.

Analytics

Analytics should be configured to measure aggregate website usage, not to identify individual users unnecessarily. Useful metrics may include document downloads, tender page visits, search terms, device type and content performance.

Analytics data should help National Grid Pakistan improve public access to high-value information such as active tenders, career notices, project consultations and regulatory disclosures.

Third-party services

Some pages may embed maps, videos, forms, analytics tools or recruitment and procurement systems operated by third parties. Those services may set their own cookies under their own policies.

Where third-party tools are used for essential public tasks, National Grid Pakistan should identify the service and provide a reasonable alternative route where possible.

Managing cookies

Users can control cookies through their browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect form submission, saved preferences, embedded content or security features.

If a cookie consent tool is used, it should allow users to accept or reject non-essential cookies without blocking access to core public information.
