COOKIES

Like many other websites, my website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a better experience when you browse my website and also allows me to improve our site in the future.

​

A “cookie” is a small text file which is created on your computer’s hard disk when you access certain websites. Cookies allow the website to recognise your computer. A cookie can identify the pages that are being viewed and this can assist me to select the pages that the visitor sees.

​

“Session” cookies are erased when you close your browser, and do not collect information from your computer. They typically store information in the form of a session identifier that does not personally identify the user.

​

"Persistent" cookies which are not session-based, remain on a visitor’s computer, so that you can be recognised as a previous visitor when you next visit our Site. This allows us to collect information about your browsing habits whilst on my site, and this can be useful in assisting me to monitor and improve my services.

​

Cookies in themselves do not contain enough information to identify you. You will only become personally identifiable in relation to your browsing habits after you have formally provided me with your personal data for the purposes outlined in this policy.

​

In addition to using cookies, I might also use other web tools to collect information about your browsing activities whilst on my site. In this respect the information that is provided is similar to the information supplied by cookies, and I use it for the same purposes.

​

Any information that I acquire about you using cookies, GIFs, or other web tools is subject to the same restrictions and conditions as any other information I collect about you, as outlined in this Policy.

​

I utilise Google Analytics as a business tool. For more information about the way in which Google Analytics uses cookies, please visit the following link
