Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Birmingham CNC Machining (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what they are used for, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — such as tags, pixels and local storage — work in comparable ways. They allow a site to remember your actions and preferences and to understand how the site is being used.

We group the technologies on this site into two categories:

• Essential cookies. These are needed for the website and our request-for-quotation (“RFQ”) form to function, and to remember your cookie choices. They are always active and cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent.
• Analytics and advertising cookies. These are non-essential. They help us understand how visitors use the site and support measurement of our marketing. They are only set once you give consent, and you can withdraw or change that consent at any time.

We use Google Tag Manager to manage the tags on this website in one place. Google Tag Manager itself does not set analytics or advertising cookies; it is a container that loads other tags — such as Google Analytics and Google Ads — according to the consent you have given.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site, for example which pages are viewed and how people move through the RFQ journey. This helps us improve the site. Google Analytics sets cookies only when you have accepted analytics cookies. If you decline, no Google Analytics cookies are set and analytics storage remains disabled.

We may use Google Ads to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to help reach people who may be interested in our service. Advertising cookies and related identifiers are only used when you have accepted advertising cookies. If you decline, advertising storage and personalisation remain disabled.

This website uses Google Consent Mode. Before any Google tags load, analytics and advertising storage are set to “denied” by default. Your tags are only permitted to store cookies once you grant the corresponding consent through our cookie banner or settings. This means non-essential cookies are not used until you choose to allow them.

When you first visit the site a slim notice lets you choose to accept analytics cookies or reject optional cookies. Necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them. Your preference is stored on your device so we can respect it on future visits.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some essential features may not work as intended if you do.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how we use cookies, contact us at [email protected].
