This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Datum Alloys (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses them on our website, [https://www.datumalloys.com/], and what choices you have regarding their use.
By continuing to browse or use our website, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and assist with personalised content and advertising.
Cookies can be:
“Session cookies” which are deleted after you close your browser.
“Persistent cookies” which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Datum Alloys) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.”
2. How We Use Cookies
We use both first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online properties. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. The types of cookies we use on our website are generally grouped into the following categories:
Cookie Category
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as remembering your privacy preferences or keeping you logged in. They are always active.
Performance/Analytics
These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our website for you. We use Google Analytics for this.
Functionality
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (like your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise.
Marketing/Targeting
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases, selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
3. Your Cookie Choices and How to Manage Them
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
Cookie Consent Tool: When you first visit our website, you are presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline the different categories of cookies (excluding Strictly Necessary cookies). You can adjust your preferences at any time by re-opening the cookie settings panel.
Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. Since the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
4. Other Tracking Technologies
We may also use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, flash cookies (also known as local shared objects), and pixel tags. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognise when someone has visited our website. These technologies are often used in conjunction with cookies to help us analyse the use of our website and to target advertising.
5. Updates to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
