LOG FILES AND COOKIES – HOW WE USE THEM
Log files allow us to record visitors’ use of the website. We use Google Analytics to analyse anonymous user details from our website which we can then use to make changes to the site’s layout to improve the user experience. They also give us useful information about how visitors use the website and interact with it. Log files do not contain any personal information and cannot access a user’s computer.
Cookies
The purpose of a cookie is very similar to that of a log file, except that it is a small file placed on the user’s hard drive that then enables the website to identify the user’s computer as different pages are viewed on The Trusted Art Guide website. Log files give basic information; cookies can give more detailed information.
How cookies are used
The Trusted Art Guide may use Cookies to:
• Analyse web traffic (by using an analytics package – Google Analytics in this case).
Cookies do not provide access to a user’s computer, or any information about the user other than that which you share with The Trusted Art Guide.
Controlling Cookies
A user can use their web browser’s cookie settings to determine how the website uses cookies. If a user does not want cookies stored on their computer or device, they should set their web browser to refuse cookies (it should be noted that doing this can change the way the website will function). Unless a user changes their browser to refuse cookies, they will be issued each time you visit The Trusted Art Guide website
CONTROLLING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

• Sending an email with their details and a request to be removed from the mailing list to jane@thetrustedartguide.com
