All about the cookies

I use cookies on my website to enable me to collect information about your visit and provide you with a more personalised service when you browse my website and engage with us.

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website, when visited by a user, asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you (such as your language preference or login information). Those cookies are set by me and called first party cookies. I also use third party cookies, which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting (including for my advertising and marketing activities).

Cookies can be categorised as follow:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

  • Performance Cookies
  • Functional Cookies
  • Targeting Cookies
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in my systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

CraftSessionId Our website relies on PHP sessions to maintain sessions across web requests. That is done via the PHP session cookie. Our site uses Craft CMS which names that cookie “CraftSessionId” by default. This cookie will expire as soon as the session expires. You can find out more on the Craft CMS website

Performance Cookie

These cookies allow me to count visits and traffic sources so I can measure and improve the performance of my site. They help me to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies I will not know when you have visited my site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the website and blog, where visitors have come to the website from and the pages they visited.

Targeting Cookie

These cookies may be set through my site by my advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Third Party cookies

JNP Web Solutions uses a number of suppliers who also set cookies on my websites in order to deliver the services that they are providing to me. These cookies enable me to understand how visitors use the website (e.g. whether they are browsing via a mobile device, what pages they look at) and I use this information to improve the effectiveness of the website. If you would like more information about the cookies used by these suppliers, as well as information on how to opt out, please see their individual privacy policies listed above.

Cookies are not used for any purpose other than those described here and will not affect the performance of your computer.

Cookies set by third parties

If you go on to a page on my website that contains embedded content, for example YouTube, you may be sent cookies from these websites.

My website also contains embedded “share” buttons to enable users of the site to easily share articles with their friends through numerous social networks, e.g. Facebook and Twitter. These sites may set a cookie when you are also logged in to their service.
