1. Introduction

Our website, dmfuneralservices.co.uk (hereinafter: “the website”), has been built to work without tracking. It does not use advertising, marketing or statistics cookies, and it has no shopping basket or visitor accounts. A small number of services from third parties are used to show fonts, maps and tributes. In the document below we inform you about the use of cookies and related technologies (for convenience all are referred to as “cookies”) on our website.

2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small simple file that is sent along with pages of a website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or another device. The information stored therein may be returned to the website’s servers or to the servers of the relevant third parties during a subsequent visit.

3. What are scripts?

A script is a piece of program code that is used to make our website function properly and interactively. This code is executed on our server or on your device.

Service	What it does
Google Fonts	Shows the typefaces used on this website. Your browser requests the font files from Google, which involves sharing your IP address with Google. No cookies are placed.
