Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser and contain a unique number, but no personal data. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site and a more tailored site experience to you.
Most browsers allow you to choose whether cookies are used or not. The ‘help’ portion of your browser’s toolbar will usually tell you how to configure your browser to refuse cookies, to delete cookies or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. However, by turning off cookies you may make the website less efficient and some services may not function properly.
We use cookies to make sure our website works effectively. They help us monitor visitors’ movement from page to page, so we can ensure any choices you make and/or details you submit are ‘remembered’ as you navigate the site – and when you return to it within a set period.
Below is a summary of the cookies we use on www.shulaw.co.uk, including those set by add-ons.
| Name | Cookie type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Functional cookies | This collects information about how visitors use the website, to be able to compile reports and make improvements to better meet our users’ needs.
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. |
| Google Analytics | Targeting cookies | We use Google Analytics Audience Demographics and Interest Reporting within Google Analytics to further our audience understanding so we can improve our content, retargeting and user experience accordingly. |
| Google Conversion Tracking | Targeting cookies | We use conversion tracking to understand user behaviour and to improve our site. The Googleadservices.com cookies help website owners who buy ads from Google to determine how many people who click their ads end up purchasing their products. The conversion tracking cookie is set on your browser only when you click an ad delivered by Google where the advertiser has opted in to conversion tracking.
These cookies expire within 30 days and do not contain information that can identify you personally. If this cookie has not yet expired when you visit certain pages of the advertiser’s website, Google and the advertiser will be able to tell that you clicked the ad and proceeded to that page. Each advertiser gets a different cookie, so no cookie can be tracked across advertiser websites. |
| YouTube | Functional cookies | YouTube uses cookies to help maintain the integrity of video statistics and prevent fraud.
We embed some videos on our site from our official YouTube channel; when we do this, we aim to use the privacy-enhanced mode which means YouTube will not set a cookie unless a user clicks to play the video. YouTube cookies contain the count of views of embedded videos |
