Privacy and Cookie Usage on this Web Site
Web sites are regulated as to their use of cookies. This regulation means that the site must inform the user of what cookies are in use, what they are used for and what the user can do about them if they don't want the site using them.
In general, Cookies fall into 4 categories:
- Essential: Those which are needed for the normal running of the website. Disabling these is not an option as the site will not function without them. An example of this type are ones which handle shopping baskets or remember where the user is on more complex sites.
- Functional: Those which improve the functionality of the site but are not essential. An example of this may be remembering a particular setting such as the language in which the page is to be displayed.
- Analytical: Those which benefit the site's owners. An example is the analytical cookies that count and track visitors, see which pages are the most popular and determine what the system capabilities of the user. The former help with determining what is popular and can help a site owner put more effort into the most popular sections of the site, the latter help in determining the best way to present information to the user (for example, is the audience primarily mobile or desktop). Knowing this information allows the site owner to adapt the site to the predominant type of user or, in some cases, to customise the display to the type of device detected. This site also recognises the Do Not Track setting that many browsers have now incorporated. Currently, this site does not use analytics but they may be included in the future, which is why the option to opt out of them has been included in the cookie selection process.
- Advertising: Those to do with third-party advertisers whose adverts appear on the site. This web site does not use external advertising.
