Cookie Policy

Last updated: 23 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how MacMaster Design uses cookies and similar technologies on macmasterdesign.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we handle personal information more generally.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. “Similar technologies” include pixels, tags and local storage. We use the term “cookies” throughout this policy to cover all of them.

Cookies set by macmasterdesign.com are called “first-party” cookies. Cookies set by other websites whose services we use, such as analytics or video hosts, are called “third-party” cookies.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• Make our website work properly and securely.
• Remember the choices you have made, such as your preferences and consent settings.
• Understand how visitors find and use our website so that we can improve it.
• Measure the performance of any marketing campaigns we run.

3. The categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies that remember your cookie preferences, allow you to navigate the site, and keep items in your enquiry basket. Because they are essential, we do not need your consent to use them.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with macmasterdesign.com, for example, which pages are most popular and where visitors come from. The information is aggregated and used to improve the site. We use Google Analytics for this, which sets cookies in the “_ga” family to distinguish unique users and measure visits. We will only set these cookies if you give us consent. You can find out more about how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/privacy.

Functionality cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your region or the products you have viewed, to provide a more personalised experience. They are set only with your consent.

Targeting and marketing cookies

If we run advertising or social media campaigns, these cookies help us understand which adverts are most effective and ensure you do not see the same advert repeatedly. They may also be used by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests. They are set only with your consent.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third parties who provide services to us, such as web analytics or embedded content. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. The main third parties we currently use are:

• Google Analytics – web analytics that help us measure how our website is used. See policies.google.com/privacy.
• Stripe – our payment processor, which may set cookies on checkout pages to help prevent fraud and complete payments. See stripe.com/gb/privacy.
• GoDaddy – our hosting provider, which may set cookies needed to deliver and secure the site. See godaddy.com/legal/agreements/privacy-policy.

Where we embed content such as social media posts or videos, the relevant platform may also set its own cookies.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

The first time you visit our website, we ask you to tell us which categories of cookies you are happy for us to use. You can change your preferences at any time by:

• Clicking the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of our website.
• Adjusting the cookie settings in your web browser.
• Deleting existing cookies through your browser settings.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

6. Browser-level controls

Most browsers let you see what cookies you have, delete them, and block cookies from particular or all sites. Help pages for the most common browsers are linked from their official websites. Search for “manage cookies” in your browser’s help menu.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in relevant law. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last reviewed. Where we make significant changes, we will ask for your consent again.
