Cookie Policy
At CDM Marketing, we use cookies to enhance your experience and analyse our website traffic. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them.
Legal Basis for Cookies
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR, we are required to obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies on your device. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function do not require consent. When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will ask for your preferences before any analytics or marketing cookies are set.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to track information about your browsing. Cookies help improve website functionality, provide insights on user behaviour, and deliver targeted advertisements.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality.
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics cookies to understand how users interact with our site. See the Google Analytics Privacy Policy.
- Marketing Cookies: We use tools like the Meta (Facebook) Pixel to deliver targeted advertisements. See the Facebook Cookie Policy.
- Microsoft Clarity Cookies: We use Microsoft Clarity to understand user behaviour through session recordings, heatmaps, and other metrics. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
- Preference Cookies: These cookies remember choices you have made (such as your cookie consent preferences and theme settings) so you do not have to set them again.

Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage the loading of analytics and marketing tags on our website. GTM itself does not set cookies, but it loads scripts (such as Google Analytics and Meta Pixel) that may set their own cookies when you have given consent.
Third-Party Cookies
When you consent to analytics and/or marketing cookies, the following third-party services may set cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by the respective provider's privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (analytics category)
- Microsoft Clarity — session recordings and heatmaps (analytics category)
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — conversion tracking and targeted advertising (marketing category)
No analytics or marketing cookies are set until you provide consent via our cookie banner.

You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Cookie banner: When you first visit our site, a banner allows you to accept, reject, or customise your cookie preferences.
- Cookie Settings link: You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in our website footer.
