How I use cookies
A cookie is a small file that asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once the file has been added, the cookie helps analyse web traffic or identify when you visit a particular site, unless you turn them off. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
Please visit: http://www.aboutcookies.org for more information on cookies.
I use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps me analyse data about web page traffic and improve my website, tailoring it to my customer’s needs. I only use this information for the purpose of statistical analysis.
Overall, cookies help me provide you with a better website, by enabling me to monitor which pages you find useful. In no way do cookies give me access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data that you choose to share with me. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept them, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
Analytics Cookie
The Google Analytics or AW Stats cookie allows me to see information on user website activities including, but not limited to, page views, source and time spent on website. The information is depersonalised and is displayed as numbers, meaning it cannot be tracked back to individuals. This will help to protect your privacy. Using Google Analytics or AW Stats I can see which content is popular on my website, and strive to give you more of the things you enjoy reading and watching.
Civic Cookie Control
To help you better understand cookies, I use the Civic cookie control plugin. To remember your choices with this tool, it stores a cookie. This means you only have to choose your preferences once.
Social sharing codes
On our blog I use social sharing buttons for services including Twitter, Share This, Google+ and Facebook. These allow you to share pages with your friends via those networks. Whilst you will be asked to login to use these services, this process is handled directly with the social sharing providers and their databases and servers. These sites may also monitor your usage of the buttons, through the use of external tracking codes that are required to run the buttons on this website.
Links to other websites
My website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave my site, you should note that I do not have any control over the other websites.

You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
