Dornan Cookie Policy 

As is true of most other websites, The Dornan Engineering Group (Dornan) website collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. Dornan Engineering Group refers to all entities under the Dornan umbrella, including all wholly owned subsidiaries. The information may include Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of Dornan’s website, including a history of the pages you view. 

We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyse trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences. Dornan’s website also uses cookies and web beacons. Dornan may track you when you cross from the Groups website to third-party websites, to provide you with targeted advertising. 

You should be aware that when you view our website, we may collect information from the devices you use to view Dornan’s website by using ‘cookies’. We also collect such information from third-party websites, mobile sites and from apps where we show our own adverts, using cookies and related ad technology. 

If you would like to learn how to manage these cookies and choose whether to receive information of different types, please see the section “controlling my cookies”. 

What are cookies? 

Cookies are small bits of text that are downloaded to the devices you use to access Dornan’s online information. Your browser makes these cookies available every time you visit the website again, so it can recognise you and can then tailor what you see on your device. 

Almost all websites use cookies, and they have several different functions. The main purposes for cookies are to:

How do we use cookies? 

We use cookies to provide the content, product, or service you have asked for. Some of these cookies are essential to help information, or so you can move around websites and use their features. Without these cookies, content, or services you have asked for cannot be provided. 

We use cookies for analytics. We like to keep track of, for example, what information and links are popular and which ones do not get used as much. This helps us keep our information relevant and up to date. It is also useful to be able to identify trends of how people find their way through our information as well as when and where an error message may originate from. 

Analytics cookies are used to gather this information. The information collected is grouped with the information from everyone else’s cookies. We can then see the overall patterns of usage rather than any one person’s activity. These ‘analytics’ cookies are used to improve how an application, a website and its pages work. 

Cookie Classifications

Cookie List 

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies.  

We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. Third party cookies are not related to or controlled by Dornan. Third party cookies are used by our business partners, e.g., Google Analytics. Google Analytics tracking uses cookies to provide meaningful reports about site visitors. Dornan monitors this information to gather data about repeat visitors to our site and their user experience. This helps us ensure that improvements are consistently made to our sites based on your experiences. Google reserve the rights to the data collected. 

More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes: 

Strictly Necessary Cookies 

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. 

Performance Cookies 

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.  All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance. 

Functional Cookies 

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all these services may not function properly. 

Targeting Cookies 

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. 

Controlling your cookies 

Any cookie that is not Strictly Necessary is not active by default and does not send information to the resource it is called from. Accepting all cookies, makes all cookies active. You can modify your cookie preferences for the website at any time by clicking on the ‘Cookie Settings’ button below.
