The Cofnod Website uses “cookies” to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a webpage server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise Cofnod pages, or register with the Cofnod site or services, a cookie helps Cofnod to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same Cofnod Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Cofnod features that you customised.
Performance cookies
We use Google Analytics to help us analyse how well our website functions and allows us to improve the website over time
We use Google Analytics to help us with the following:
- Measuring website usage (Google Analytics)
- Make performance and user interactivity improvements
Google Analytics stores information about:
- The pages you visit on cofnod.org.uk
- How long you spend on each cofnod.org.uk page
- How you got to the site
- What you click on while you’re visiting the site
We do not collect or store your personal information (for example your name or address) when using Google Analytics so this information can’t be used to identify who you are.
We do not allow Google to use or share our analytics data.
