Cookies

Types of Cookies
First Party Cookies
One of the key elements of a cookie is the host domain of the site that sets the cookie, (the domain name), and therefore is picked up again on the next and subsequent visit. If the host name is the same as the domain in the browser address bar when it is set or retrieved, then it is a First Party Cookie.
Third Party Cookies
If the host domain for a cookie is not the same as the one in the browser bar when it was downloaded, these are referred to as third party cookie. Third party cookies are frequently used in conjunction with display ads shown on multiple sites. When you visit a site displaying that company’s adverts, their cookies, are set and retrieved. This allows advertisers to ‘track’ the websites visited – and by inference build up an understanding of what visitors are interested in.
Session Cookies
Session Cookies are temporarily and are destroyed when the browser session ends, although they will survive navigating away from the website they came from. If you login to a website every time visit a site – it is using a session cookie to record your login details.
Persistent Cookies
This type of cookie is saved on the visitors computer so when you leave and return it will still be present. All persistent cookies have an expiry date, when it expires, it will be destroyed. If the expiry date isn’t set, or is in the past, then it’s a session cookie.
There is no useful limit on an expiry date – it could be 25 years from the date of the first visit. If you return to the website, you will receive an updated version with a revised future expiry date, e.g. still 25 years from the subsequent visit.
If when you return to a site having shut down your computer to find you are still logged in – it is using a persistent cookie to remember you.
Persistent cookies can be used to track visitor behaviour as they navigate around a site. This data can be used to understand what visitors like and don’t like about a site so it can be improved. This practice is known as Web Analytics. Ever since Google started providing Google Analytics free of charge, almost all websites use some form of it, (either that or paid for alternatives).
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
