Functional cookies

Concrete2you uses functional cookies, required for the proper functioning of its website and which do not identify you personally. Cookies make the site’s functioning more user-friendly and offer you a more personalised online experience.

Performance cookies

Concrete2you uses performance cookies to collect information about your use of the website in order to improve the content and increase its ease of use.

Cookies from social networks allow you to share our site’s content and your opinion on it with others, e.g. “Share” and “Like” application buttons, from social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. The social network which supplies these application buttons can identify you using this button, even if you have not clicked on it while browsing our site. This is because some cookies allow the social network concerned to track your browsing of our site if the social network is activated on your device while browsing our site.

We have no control over the processes used by social networks to collect information about your browsing of our website. Please check the relevant social networks’ personal data protection policies. These give you certain confidentiality options in relation to social networks, particularly by configuring your account settings with each network.

The length of time third-party cookies, such as cookies from social networks, are retained can be amended at any time before Aggregate Industries receives the information. Once Aggregate Industries has been informed, changes to duration will be indicated within this policy.

Updates to the cookies policy

We reserve the right to make any changes to this policy, particularly in response to legislative requirements.

It is only used by the relevant departments within Aggregate Industries and its service providers, where applicable. Aggregate Industries particularly uses the Google Analytics service from Google Inc (“Google”) for statistical purposes. In the context of this service, the data collected via Google Analytics cookies (connection data and browsing data) is transmitted and stored by Google on servers located in the United States. Google entities are registered under the Privacy Shield to help ensure an adequate level of data protection.
