Last Updated: December 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Douglas Machine, Inc. uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our online content. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Our website, like most websites, stores information in cookies on your computer. These cookies are small data files placed on your device and are used in several ways (i.e., enabling features, remembering preferences, improving performance, etc.). You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept or allow cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our online content or functionality may be limited. Unless your browser setting is adjusted to prohibit the use of cookies or you explicitly indicate you do not accept the use of cookies when visiting our site, our online content may use cookies.
What are Cookies
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by companies to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide personalization and reporting information.
Cookies set by the content owner (in this case, Douglas Machine, Inc.) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the app owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the application (e.g., interactive content, analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our application and when it visits certain other websites.
Why Do We Use Cookies
First- and third-party cookies are used for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our app to operate, and we refer to those as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies.
