2. Cookies
I use a number of different cookies on my site. If you do not know what cookies are, or how to control or delete them, then I recommend you visit http://www.aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance.
The list below describes the cookies I use on this site and what I use them for. Currently I operate an ‘implied consent’ policy which means that I assume you are happy with this usage. If you are not happy, then you should either not use this site, or you should delete the cookies having visited the site, or you should browse the site using your browser’s anonymous usage setting (called “Incognito” in Chrome, “InPrivate” for Internet Explorer, “Private Browsing” in Firefox and Safari etc.)
First Party Cookies
These are cookies that are set by this website directly.
Google Analytics
I use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behaviour on the website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. I therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.
You can find out more about Google’s position on privacy as regards its analytics service at http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html
WordPress
My websites runs the popular WordPress CMS and cookies are used to store basic data on your interactions with WordPress, and whether you have logged into WordPress. I use a session cookie to remember your log-in for you if you are a registered user and I deem these as being strictly necessary to the working of the website. If these are disabled then various functionality on the site will be broken.

Third Party Cookies
These are cookies set on your machine by external websites whose services are used on this site.

You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on this website.
