MORE ABOUT OUR COOKIES
Website Function Cookies:
Our Cookies
We use cookies to make our website work, including:
- Remembering your search settings
There is no way to prevent these cookies from being set other than not using our site.
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, Pinterest, Instagram, etc.
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.
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), and how long they spend on the website, what page they look at etc. This helps us to improve our website continuously. These so-called “analytics” programs also tell us if people reached this website (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before, helping us put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.
We use Google Analytics.
Tracking Links/Cookies
When we include a Sponsored Post/Advert, the client may ask to include a tracking link to ascertain how many clicks are from our website to their website. Sometimes the link may be a referral link, and we may make a commission. These may include cookies.
TURNING COOKIES OFF
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies (Learn how here). However, doing so will likely limit our functionality 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.
