Cookies and analytics
In this context, a cookie is a small string of data. It typically includes a unique, anonymous identifier that is transmitted from a website server to your browser. When we access Website A, its cookies are stored on our computer’s hard drive. Then, if we use that same browser to access Website A at a future point, our browser accesses and returns the same data string to that website’s server.
There are different types of cookies. Session cookies are finite; they expire when you close your browser. Other cookies have expiration dates, and will remain in your hard drive until (a) their expiration date, or (b) you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies. Visitors to this website can reject cookies and still use the website but, as is the case with websites in general, blocking cookies can limit usability of some aspects of a website.
This website is published on WordPress, and uses social media and Google Analytics to analyse website usage.
As is the case with many websites, certain information that does not identify individual visitors is automatically gathered and stored. We access this data to understand demographic information about our user base.
Third party websites
Some of this website’s pages and posts includes hyperlinks to third party websites. We have no control over the privacy policies and practices of third parties, and are not responsible for their practices and policies.
