Please Note: Our Cookie Policy is currently under review.

This policy helps to explain the occasions when and why cookies may be sent to visitors to the web sites of McDonald's Restaurants Limited (referred to in this policy as "we", "us" or "our"). "Cookies" are text-only pieces of information that a web site transfers to an individual's hard drive or other web site-browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow the web site to remember important information that will make your use of the site more convenient. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Like most web sites, we use cookies for a variety of purposes in order to improve your online experience. Two types of cookies are used on this website:

Session Cookies

which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site.

Persistent Cookies

which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie.)

When we use session cookies to track the total number of visitors to our site, this is done on an anonymous aggregate basis (as cookies do not in themselves carry any personal data). On infrequent occasions, we may also employ cookies so that we remember your computer when it is used to return to the site and to administer certain other activities (such as online prize promotions) and to help customise your McDonald's web experience. We may associate personal information with a cookie file in those instances. Use the options in your web browser if you do not wish to receive a cookie or if you wish to set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. You can easily delete any cookies that have been installed in the cookie folder of your browser. For example, if you are using Microsoft Windows Explorer:

• Open 'Windows Explorer'
• Click on the 'Search' button on the toolbar
• Type "cookie" into the search box for 'Folders and Files'
• Select 'My Computer' in the 'Look In' box
• Click 'Search Now'
• Double click on the folders that are found
• 'Select' any cookie file
• Hit the 'Delete' button on your keyboard

If you are not using Microsoft Windows Explorer, then you should select "cookies" in the "Help" function for information on where to find your cookie folder.

If you disable all cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of all the features of this web site.

Changes To Our Cookie Policy

From time to time, it may be necessary for us to change this cookie policy. This might be for a number of reasons; for example, it is not currently our policy to enable purchases of merchandise online via any of our websites, but if this policy were to change we would wish to use cookies to keep track of your online purchase, to keep your purchases secure and to assist you with making them. So, we suggest that you check here periodically for any changes.
