Website Function Cookies
Our own cookies
We use cookies to make our website work including:
· Allowing you to add comments to our site
· Remembering if we have already asked you certain questions
(e.g. you declined to use our app or take our survey)
There is no way to prevent these cookies being set other than to
not use our site.
Third party functions
Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by
third parties. A common example is an embedded YouTube video. Our
site includes the following which use cookies:
· Videos (powered by YouTube and Vimeo)
Disabling these cookies will likely break the functions offered
by these third parties
Social Website Cookies
So you can easily "Like"or share our content on the likes of
Facebook and Twitter we have included sharing buttons on our
site.
Cookies are set by:
· Facebook
· Twitter
· Google Plus
The privacy implications on this will vary from social network
to social network and will be dependent on the privacy settings you
have chosen on these networks.
Anonymous Visitor Statistics Cookies
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many
people have visited our website, what type of technology they are
using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site
isn't working as it should for particular technologies), how long
they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us
to continuously improve our website. These so called "analytics"
programs also tell us if, on an anonymous basis, how people reached
this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been
here before helping us to put more money into developing our
services for you instead of marketing spend.
We use Google Analytics:
Google Analytics - If you are anti-Google you can opt-out of being tracked by Google Analytics
(we'd prefer you didn't though as this data is seriously helpful to
us in improving our website)
Pretty-much-anonymous tracking software
A very nifty tool called Click Tale sometimes takes little
videos as you view this site. Again it is completely anonymous with
one exception: if you submit an enquiry to us then, believe it or
not, we can actually play back your user session.
Don't worry though we don't have a camera looking at you - it
just records keyboard strokes and mouse movements which can be
really helpful in making our forms easier to understand. Further if
you don't fill out a form at any point we will never know who you
are nor will Click Tale.
Click Tale are excellent on data privacy and protection,
you should check out their privacy
policy.
Of course if you do not wish to be tracked, you can disable ClickTale.
Advertising Cookies
Cookies are widely used in online advertising. Neither us,
advertisers or our advertising partners can gain personally
identifiable information from these cookies.
You can learn more about online advertising at YourOnlineChoices. You can opt-out of almost
all advertising cookies here although we would prefer that you didn't
as ultimately adverts help keep much of the internet free. It is
also worth noting that opting out of advertising cookies will not
mean you won't see adverts, just simply that they won't be tailored
to you any longer.
Remarketing Cookies
You may notice that sometimes after visiting a site you see
increased numbers of adverts from the site you visited. This is
because advertisers, including ourselves pay for these adverts. The
technology to do this is made possible by cookies and as such we
may place a so called "remarketing cookie" during your visit. We
use these adverts to offer special offers etc to encourage you to
come back to our site. Don't worry we are unable to proactively
reach out to you as the whole process is entirely anonymised. You
can opt out of these advertising cookies at anytime as explained
above.
Turning Cookies Off
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser
settings to stop it from accepting cookies (learn
how here). Doing so however will likely limit the functionality
of our's and a large proportion of the world's websites as cookies
are a standard part of most modern websites
It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called
"spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you
may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by
automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.

software.
