Cookies and 3rd party services

Cookies allow websites and applications to store your preferences in order to present content, options or functions that are specific to you. They also enable me to see information like how many people use the website and what pages they tend to visit.

I may use cookies to:

• Analyse my web traffic using an analytics package. Aggregated usage data helps me to improve website structure, design, content and functions
• Store information about your preferences. Websites can then present you with information you will find more relevant and interesting
• To recognise when you return to my website. I may show you relevant content, or provide functionality you used previously

I embed videos from Vimeo and YouTube (part of Google) onto my site. I also use Google Analytics and StatCounter to see how many visitors my website receives and how visitors found it.
