Cookie Policy

Despite being fully aware that the EU’s privacy laws regarding websites are a complete waste of time and space and were obviously dreamt up by some suited-up pen pusher who has no idea how computers or the internet even work, we have to look like we are doing something about it.

Basically, this site uses a few cookies. Chocolate Digestive biscuits were also consumed during the build process and I guarantee that is more interesting - and certainly more relevant - than the ridiculous EU related gubbins below.

Google Analytics

This website has a teeny tiny Javascript on the bottom of every page that is supplied by Google. It collects information about how visitors use our site. We use this information to compile reports and to help us improve the site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from and the pages they visited. This is in no way going to affect privacy of anyone. It is done purely to improve service. It’s called good business sense.

Google Maps

There is a clever map provided by Google on our contact page. This is so that people can find us. For example, if we have a potential new customer we might invite them over for a tea and cookies and have a chat about what they want. If we didn’t let them know where we were and expected them to use the Force, we would go out of business! Anyway, Google uses cookies for their Google Maps service, but does not provide details on what these cookies are used for. Given you don’t have to provide any personal details, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out it is anonymous data.

ColdFusion

This website, like virtually all websites we build, is programmed in something called ColdFusion. This is a programming language that allows a webpage to talk to a database. A lot of what you see on this site is actually crap that has been pulled from a database (this is so I can update text from a secure administration panel anywhere in the world as long as I have access to the internet. Clever eh?) Anyway, ColdFusion sets a cookie whenever a page is accessed. This cookie does nothing of importance. The only other ColdFusion cookie used is for a secure login area that some of our clients use to access their own clever control panels. All this cookie does is create a unique identifier so the computer can remember who that person is and keep them logged in. Unfortunately, computers don’t have real brains yet.
