1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small, automated text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit almost any website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, deliver standard features, and provide analytical reporting to website owners.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device after you close your browser, ready to remember you when you return) or "session-based" (deleted automatically as soon as you close your browser or navigate away).
2. How We Use Them
ALT CNC MACHINE TOOL SERVICES LTD. uses cookies to enhance your experience, ensure security, and understand how visitors interact with our technical content, case studies, and engineering services catalog.
Specifically, we use cookies to:
- Recognise your browser settings and maintain active sessions when using our contact or technical quote request forms.
- Evaluate how you navigate our pages, helping us reorganise our services structure and streamline our user experience.
- Remember user preferences (such as your consent choices regarding non-essential cookies).
3. Types Of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies running on our platform into three primary classifications:
A. Strictly Necessary (Essential)
These cookies are mandatory for our website to function properly. They handle essential tasks like routing, loading secure contact forms, and security filtering. Disabling these cookies in your browser settings will result in elements of our forms and page animations breaking entirely.
B. Analytical & Performance
These cookies gather anonymous statistical data, showing us which pages are most popular (e.g. our Unisign support or spindles/ballscrews page), how long visitors remain on each section, and if they encounter error messages. They do not collect identifiable personal details.
C. Functional Preferences
These allow our website to remember choices you make (such as dismissing our cookie consent prompt) to deliver a more seamless experience on subsequent visits.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In some instances, we embed services from trusted external providers to bring advanced features to our platform (for example, location maps, fonts, and statistical analytics).
Our primary third-party analytics provider is Google Analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies to gather information about our site traffic anonymously. This helps us optimize our server speeds and geographical presence near key manufacturing clusters.
Third-party providers operate under their own independent privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend you review on their respective corporate websites.
5. Controlling & Disabling Cookies
You have the right to accept, limit, or entirely block cookies from being set on your device. Most modern web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through their native settings panels.

6. Updates to This Policy
We reserve the right to modify, amend, or update this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect updates to our technology, legislative changes (including UK GDPR and ICO guidance), or variations in our data practices.
Any adjustments will become effective immediately upon being published to this page. We encourage you to review this document periodically.
