Cookie Policy

To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

We use first party cookies in order to:

  • Pre populate forms or remember your previous selections
  • Load certain bits of information quicker if you revisit

 

We use third party cookies to:

  • Power our blog comments section using Disqus (more info)
  • Measure visitor data using Google Analytics so that we can improve the website (more info)
  • Record information about web pages users visit and certain action they take on our website for the purpose of advertising reporting and re targeting (Facebook & Google)

How to control cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish – for details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.

3rd party cookies we use

Disqus

To allow visitors to discuss our blog articles and some web pages we use a discussion system called Disqus.

To do so we embed code that Disqus provide and we do not control ourselves. Disqus anonymously tracks visitors to pages like we do. They also remember who you are if you login to any Disqus service, so you can comment on any website using their tool.

Logging in to Disqus can be done in many ways, including via Facebook. If you login via social network, Disqus will be able to link your activity to that network. In this way, your Disqus activity may be personally identifiable.

Disqus will know what pages you viewed in our site and what you wrote on those comments. Of course all comments you leave are also publicly visible on the Internet alongside your name, so we do not imagine this is a concern for many people.

Google Analytics

We measure visitors to our website using Google Analytics. This records what pages you view within our site, how you arrived at our site and some basic information about your computer. All of that information is anonymous – so we don’t know who you are; just that somebody visited our site.

The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well, how people arrive at our site and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make our website better.

You can learn more about Google Analytics or opt out if you wish.

Facebook Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel to gather anonymous information about users in order to show them targeted advertising relevant to our services. We track the pages they visit on our website and a selection of engagement based actions to identify what messaging to show in future.

Google Adwords

We use Google Adwords to gather anonymous information about users in order to show them targeted advertising relevant to our services. We track the pages they visit on our website and a selection of engagement based actions to identify what messaging to show in future.
  • By storing a cookie in your browser when you visit our site, Google is able to link this with other sites you visit on their network and display adverts via a service called Adsense.
  • You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can also visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt out page to opt out of third-party vendor’s use of cookies.
