This Cookie Policy explains how Dugglebys Auctioneers (“Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website www.davidduggleby.com (“website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect any changes to the cookies we use or for another operational, legal or regulatory reason. Please revisit this page from time to time to stay informed about our use of cookies.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser by a website
you visit. They help that website remember information about your
visit, which can both make it easier to visit the site again and
make the site more useful to you. Cookies are widely used by
businesses to make their websites work (or work more efficiently),
as well as to provide reporting information on the website's use.
Cookies set by the website owner are called “first-party cookies”.
These cookies are usually used to identify a user between pages,
remember selected preferences and track website behaviour
patterns. You can hardly find a website nowadays that does not use
first-party cookies.
Cookies set by anyone other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies can be used for a variety of functions, such as enabling chat services or improving how content is delivered across websites. They may also be used to tailor advertising you see on other sites based on your browsing behaviour.
Why do we use Cookies?
We use first- and third- party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons, and we refer to these as “essential” cookies. Other cookies may allow us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online properties. Third party cookies are used for marketing, analytics, customer service and other purposes. In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that which becomes personal information if we combine it with other information in order to serve the above purposes.
Can I Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether you accept or reject cookies
through the Cookie Consent Manager, which will pop up when you
first access our website. You can choose to accept all cookies or
customise which cookies you would like to enable and disable.
Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary to
provide you with website services. If you do not wish to allow
essential cookies you should stop using our website immediately.
Types of Cookies we use
Functional - Functional cookies help to perform certain
functionalities like sharing content from our website on social
media platforms, collect feedback and other third-party features
such as live chat.
Performance - Performance cookies are used to understand and
analyse the key performance indexes of the website, which helps in
delivering a better web experience for our visitors.
Analytics - Analytical cookies are used to understand how visitors
interact with the website. These cookies help provide information
on metrics, the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic sources
etc.
Marketing – We use marketing cookies solely for Dugglebys’ own promotional purposes. These cookies help us tailor our email communications, social media activity, and Google ads so they are more relevant to you. They also prevent the same advert from appearing repeatedly. We do not use marketing cookies for any third-party advertising.
Others - Other uncategorised cookies are ones that are being
analysed and have not been categorised yet.
We may also use other tracking technologies such as web beacons
(sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are
tiny graphic files that contain a unique identifier that enables
us to recognise when someone has visited our website or opened an
email including them. This allows us to monitor the traffic
patterns of users from one page within a website to another and
therefore understand whether you have come to the website from an
online advertisement, social media platform or email marketing
campaign as examples. This helps us to measure the success of our
marketing campaigns - these also rely on cookies to function
properly.
How can I Control Cookies on my Browser?
How you control cookies will vary depending on the browser you are
using. You can find out more about managing cookies on some of the
