Cookie notice
This notice covers cookies on the Damp Surveys NI website: what they are, how this site treats them, what outside services might place on your device, and how you can decide which cookies to keep.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to save on your computer, phone or tablet. It holds a short string of information, often a code or a setting, which your browser sends back to that website the next time it loads a page. This lets a site remember something about a visit, such as whether a page has finished loading correctly or whether you have already sent a message. Some cookies vanish once you close your browser, while others stay put until a set date or until you clear them yourself.
Cookies used by this website
Damp Surveys NI does not place tracking cookies or advertising cookies on your device. Nothing on these pages is set up to follow you around the internet, build a profile of your browsing or show you targeted adverts. When you look through the site to learn about booking a damp survey, the pages themselves are not collecting cookie data about you for marketing purposes.
Cookies from outside services
Some parts of the site rely on services run by other companies, for example the tool that handles the enquiry form when you send your details so they can be passed to the specialist who carries out the work. Those providers operate their own systems and may set their own cookies when their features load or when you use them. Such cookies are controlled by the provider concerned rather than by Damp Surveys NI, and their use is governed by that provider's own privacy and cookie terms. If you have questions about how this website handles your details, please get in touch through the enquiry form.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every mainstream browser gives you settings to manage cookies. You can look at the cookies already saved, delete some or all of them, block cookies from particular websites, or refuse cookies set by third parties altogether. These options usually sit within the privacy or security area of your browser's settings menu, and the browser's help pages explain the steps for your device. Bear in mind that blocking every cookie can stop certain features on many websites, such as online forms, from working as expected, so you may prefer to block selectively.
