What is a Cookie …Sorry not the delicious tasty chocolate chip kind, more of a piece of computer coding

Cookies are pieces of computer code which are stored on your computer and which allow me to recognise the fact that you have visited the website. These cookies do not contain any personally identifiable pieces of information and they are not functional i.e. cookies don’t do anything on your device, they simply act as a “label”.

What are cookies used for?


Improving my website:

For statistical purposes only, I only track how many individual unique users are received and how often they visit my website. Anonymous data is collected which tells me which of the pages are most frequently visited and by which types of users and from which countries. This allows me to see which content and products are more popular than others so I can improve my website. In order to do this, I use a web analytics tool called Google Analytics.
