Cookies and embeds
Cookie Policy
An honest explanation of the cookies and third-party embeds used on the Dundalk Decking Co website, including the Google Maps embed.
This page explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies. We aim to be honest about exactly what the site does, and we keep this to a minimum.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences, or to gather information about how a site is used.
Cookies we set
Our own website is a simple static site. We do not set advertising cookies and we do not use third-party tracking pixels.
Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are most useful, so we can improve it. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (such as _ga) and processes usage data on our behalf. These analytics cookies are not loaded unless you accept them on the cookie banner. If you reject, Google Analytics is never loaded and no analytics cookie is set. We do not use this data to identify you personally and we do not sell it.
Third-party embeds and your consent
Some pages can include content from other services that may set their own cookies:
- Google Maps: We use a Google Map to show our service area. Google sets its own cookies and receives technical information such as your IP address when the map loads.
Because these are non-essential third-party cookies, neither Google Analytics nor the map loads until you allow it. On your first visit you will see a cookie banner where you can Accept or Reject. If you reject, neither is loaded and no analytics or map cookie is set. You can also choose to load a single map by clicking the “Load map” button shown in its place. We remember your choice on your device so we do not ask again on every page.
We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not use third-party tracking pixels.
Changing your choice
Your accept-or-reject decision is stored in your browser’s local storage on your own device. To change it, clear this site’s stored data and cookies through your browser settings and reload the page, and the banner will appear again.
Links to other services
If you choose to contact us through WhatsApp or by following a link to another website, that service has its own cookie and privacy policies, which we do not control.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. You can usually block all cookies or remove existing ones. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how embedded content, such as the map, works.
