Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2025 · Effective: April 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on the Mardock Business Consulting website, and how you can manage them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have seen a particular notification.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (retained for a set period or until you delete them). They may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services ("third-party cookies").
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies — Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Functionality cookies — Remember your preferences and choices, such as your cookie consent decision, so you are not asked again on each visit.
- Analytics cookies — Collect anonymised information about how visitors use the website (pages visited, time spent, source of visit). This helps us improve the site. These are only active if you have given consent.
- Marketing cookies — Used to track visitors across websites to display relevant content. Currently, we do not use marketing cookies unless you have given explicit consent.

4. Your Consent
When you first visit this website, you are presented with a cookie consent notice. You can choose to accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or decline non-essential cookies.
Strictly necessary and functionality cookies are always active. Analytics and marketing cookies are only placed if you have provided consent.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting this website, at which point the consent notice will appear again.
5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually.
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.
Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available via your browser's help documentation.
6. Third-Party Services
Where we use third-party services that set cookies (such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel), those services have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them:
- Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
- Microsoft Advertising: privacy.microsoft.com
- Meta (Facebook): facebook.com/privacy/policy
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We recommend checking this page if you want to stay informed about how we use cookies.
