Cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. Not all cookies are bad, and the ones we use aren’t! However, by law, we must show you what we use. If you’re confused by any of the information, contact us.
Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic. We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
Put simply, this is what’s in use:
- WordPress is the Content Management System (CMS) that runs this website. It uses a cookie when logging in and out and is essential for proper website operation. It is only set if you are a registered user, so for most people it is not set at all. User data is all anonymous.
- If you leave a comment on the website (eg, on a page, article or blog post), then a cookie may be stored to ‘remember’ your email address for the next time you post (should you choose the “remember me” option)
- In the header of each web page on this site you will see a message alerting you of our privacy and cookie policy. If you’ve seen this message once, you probably won’t want to see it again, so once you’ve clicked the Accept button, it’s hidden – you can click the tiny box to view it again. We use a cookie to remember this setting. User data is all anonymous
- To understand how people use our site, and to discover areas on our site with issues, we use Google Analytics. Most websites use some sort of analytics program like this. The data it collects helps us see things like how many people visit our site, which country they are from, how many pages they visited, how fast our site loaded, and so on. All data collected is completely anonymous, it does not identify you as an individual in any way
Earnings
Some of the products on this site that we promote (including our Kindle books) may carry a referral fee; that is, we are affiliates and, for those things we’re affiliated to, we get a small percentage of the cost if you buy through our links.
