What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your computer or phone when you visit. They help the site work, remember your choices, or tell the website owner how the site is being used. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in much the same way, and this policy covers them too.
This website is run by M&D Foundations & Building Services Ltd, Brooklands Road, Adwick-Le-Street, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN6 7BA (company number 3717980). Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal information more generally.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are needed for the site to work and can’t be switched off. We use your browser’s session storage to remember small display preferences while you browse, such as the colour of the transition when you move between our commercial and domestic pages. It holds no personal information and is cleared when you close your browser. We also store your cookie choice so we don’t ask you again on every page.
Analytics (only with your consent)
With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use our website, so we can improve it. Google Analytics tells us things like which pages are popular and how visitors arrive, using information that doesn’t identify you by name.
- _ga: distinguishes one visitor from another. Expires after 2 years.
- _ga_<ID>: keeps track of your visit (session). Expires after 2 years.
These cookies are set by Google. You can read more about how Google uses this information at policies.google.com.
Third-party content
Some pages include content from other services, which may set their own cookies:
- Google Maps, embedded on some of our office pages to show where we are.
- Google Fonts, which supplies the typefaces on this site. Your browser connects to Google to download them, which shares your IP address with Google, but no cookies are set.
- Facebook, if you follow a link to our Facebook page. Facebook’s own cookie policy applies once you are on their site.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies to show you adverts on other websites.
Managing your choices
When you first visit, we ask whether you’re happy for us to use analytics cookies. Nothing non-essential is set until you choose. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings link on the website, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Each browser does this slightly differently, so check its help pages. Blocking all cookies may stop some parts of some websites from working. To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
