COOKIES AND WEBSITE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS

Cookies are text files which identify users’ computers to the website’s server. Cookies in themselves do not identify individual users but identify only the computer used and they are deleted on departure from the website. Many websites do this to track traffic flows, whenever users visit those websites. www.guyco.co.uk uses third-party cookies to measure use of the website including the number of visitors, how frequently pages are viewed, and the city and country of origin of users.

This helps to determine what information is most popular and can influence future website content and development. For this purpose, www.guyco.co.uk uses Google Analytics to measure and analyse usage of the website. The information collected will include IP Address, pages visited, browser type and operating system. The data gathered cannot be used to identify any user personally. You can control your acceptance of cookies and/or disable them entirely in your web browser settings.

To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org. In May 2011, EU Privacy Laws on the use of browser cookies came into force. This statement has been drafted to explain the types of cookie that this site uses, and to show that this website complies with the new EU legislation. More information on the new changes can be found from this Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) publication.
