Custom Metal Designs

Cookie Policy

Effective November 11, 2026. This page explains the cookies and similar technologies custommetaldesigns.com uses, and how to control them.

1.What we use

Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. The site itself needs none to work. It remembers your cookie choice in your browser’s local storage (cmd-cookie-consent) until you change it or clear your browser’s data, and how your current visit started in session storage (cmd-visit, cleared when you close the tab), which is sent to us only with a contact inquiry. If part of a page fails to load, it also keeps a short-lived flag in session storage (cmd:chunk-reload), so the page reloads only once.

Only if you accept cookies in the banner, these tools are loaded and set their own:

Analytics: Google Analytics 4, which counts visits and shows which pages people use. Cookies: _ga and _ga_<ID>, which recognize a returning browser and its current visit (up to 2 years).
Analytics: Microsoft Clarity, which records how visitors use each page, such as clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, but never what you type into the contact or newsletter form. Cookies: _clck, which keeps a Clarity ID for this site (up to 1 year), and _clsk, which joins page views into one visit (1 day), plus Microsoft’s CLID, MUID, ANONCHK, MR and SM, which Microsoft uses to recognize a browser across its sites.

2.Managing cookies

You can control non-essential cookies through the site’s own consent banner, the “Cookie settings” link at the foot of every page, or your browser settings. Declining or blocking them won’t stop the site from working: every page and form works without them. If you decline after accepting, the site deletes the cookies these tools set on custommetaldesigns.com; cookies on the tools’ own domains, such as Microsoft’s, expire on their own. These tools come from Google and Microsoft, which set and read their cookies under their own privacy policies.

3.Changes and contact

We’ll update this page as our cookie use changes. Questions? Contact sales@custommetaldesigns.com.
