On our website we use cookies and other similar tools in order to improve the performance and for enhanced user experience. The policy detailed below explains how we do this.
Cookies are basically a type of mechanism to both store and retrieve information when one visits a website or simply put they are small text files which a website uses to function correctly and give best user experience possible. Cookies are stored on your computer, tablet or a mobile device when you first visit a site or page.
Some web pages in a website and HTML based emails may also contain a small snippet of code called a Web Beacon. Simply put, Web Beacons allow a website to transfer or collect information through a graphic image request. Websites use Web Beacons and cookies for many purposes, including site usage analytics, auditing advertisement investment and reporting, content and target audience personalisation.
In our cookie policy we use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way including Web Beacons.
Some cookies focus on personalization and giving better user experience, for example when a user clicks “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store username. Most cookies do not collect information that identifies you. They collect general information such as how a users arrived at the websites, or a user’s general location.
Generally, our cookies perform up to four different functions:
These are cookies which are essential for the operation of our website. These may allow us to identify subscribers and ensure they can access the subscription only pages. The subscriber of course has the choice to disable these cookies following which the user will not be able to access all of the content that a subscription entitles them to.
Our website uses other cookies to analyze and monitor performance which in turn provides a better user experience. With the analysis and monitoring of our website performance we can offer better experience to our customers in the future such as optimizing the pages, links and forms on the website.
Our website uses functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences. As an example, these cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access our website, or recall your customization preferences, provide you with enhanced services such as allowing you to watch a video, comment on a blog etc.
Bromley Therapies and our advertisers use cookies to serve you with advertisements that we believe are relevant to you and your interests. For example, if you read a number of articles on motoring on reflexologybromley.com or on other sites, a car manufacturer might infer you are interested in this topic and serve you with its car advertisements. You might see these advertisements on reflexologybromley.com and on other sites that you visit. However, we do not tell our advertisers who you are.
Some cookies are served by an external service when you use a page on our site, known as ‘third-party’ cookies.
As an example on our website we use ‘plug ins’ or embedded media such asYouTube videos. These cookies are specific to the third-party site domain and the data stored in them can be seen and managed by the third party only and not by us. It is also not always possible to identify precisely the information that the cookies store although these cookies cannot be used to identify an individual; they can only be used for statistical purposes and analysis purposes.
The third party companies that generate these cookies have their own, privacy policies and opt out policy but we don’t have access to these cookies. Therefore, other than using the third party “plugins” or advertisements we are allowing them to be served but have no role to play in these cookies at all.
If you would like to disable “third party” cookies you can turn them off by going to the third party’s website and request them to generate a one-time “no thanks” cookie that will stop any further cookies being written to your machine. You can also visit the professional bodies representing these advertising companies for more information on how to opt out of these cookies or by clicking (external link) http://youronlinechoices.com/
