Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 30 August 2026
Last Updated: 30 August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Milton Keynes Web Designs ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your device when you visit them. They can be used for a variety of purposes, including remembering preferences, enabling website functionality, understanding how visitors use a website, and improving the user experience.

We may also use technologies that perform similar functions to cookies, such as browser local storage.

2. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies. These can be broadly divided into the following categories:

• Essential / Preference Technologies – used to remember your cookie-consent preference.
• Analytics Technologies – used, with your consent, to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve it.

3. Cookie Consent and Preference Storage

When you first visit our website, we display a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential analytics technologies.

We use your browser's local storage to remember your choice so that the consent banner does not repeatedly ask you for the same preference on every page or visit.

Our website stores your preference using the local storage item: cookiesAccepted.

This may contain either true, indicating that analytics technologies have been accepted, or false, indicating that they have been declined.

Local storage is not a traditional HTTP cookie and does not itself send your information to our website or a third-party service. It is used to remember your consent choice in your browser.

4. Google Analytics

If you accept analytics technologies through our cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website.

Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, how you arrived at our website, interactions with pages, device and browser information, and other information relating to website usage.

We use this information to understand website traffic and improve the content, functionality, usability, and performance of our website.

Google Analytics is not loaded by our website unless you have accepted analytics technologies through our cookie consent mechanism.

For further information about Google's use of data, please see Google's Privacy Policy .

5. Microsoft Clarity

If you accept analytics technologies through our cookie banner, we use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with our website.

Clarity may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about website interactions, such as clicks, scrolling behaviour, pages viewed, and other interactions. It may also provide features such as heatmaps and session recordings to help us identify usability issues and improve the website.

Microsoft Clarity is not loaded by our website unless you have accepted analytics technologies through our cookie consent mechanism.

Microsoft Clarity is also prevented from loading on our local development environments, including localhost.

For further information about Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft's handling of information, please see Microsoft's Privacy Statement and Microsoft Clarity's privacy information .

6. What Happens If You Decline Analytics?

If you decline analytics technologies, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity will not be loaded by our website.

Your decision will be remembered using your browser's local storage so that we can respect your choice when you navigate around the website.

Declining analytics does not prevent you from using the website or accessing our services.

7. Changing Your Cookie Preferences

You can change your analytics preference at any time by selecting the cookie settings button on our website.

This allows you to revisit your choice and either accept or decline analytics technologies.

If you previously accepted analytics and subsequently withdraw your consent, a page reload may be required for analytics scripts that have already been loaded during the current browsing session to stop running.

8. Browser Controls

Most modern web browsers allow you to control or delete cookies and other stored website data through their settings.

You can generally configure your browser to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you before cookies are stored.

Please be aware that disabling certain types of browser storage may affect the functionality of some websites.

9. Third-Party Services

Some analytics technologies used on our website are provided by third parties, including Google and Microsoft.

These third-party providers may process information collected through their services in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.

Where third-party services process personal data outside the United Kingdom, appropriate safeguards will apply where required by applicable data protection law.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies and technologies used on our website, changes to our services, or changes in applicable legal requirements.

Any updates will be published on this page, and the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will be amended accordingly.
