This cookie policy explains how Burr Editorial Services (‘I’) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit my website at https://www.burreditorial.co.uk (‘Website’). It explains what these technologies are and why I use them, as well as your rights to control the use of them. In some cases, I may use cookies to collect personal information, or that which becomes personal information if combined with other information.
1. about cookies
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Burr Editorial Services) are called ‘first-party cookies’. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called ‘third-party cookies’. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2. Why i use cookies
I use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for my Website to operate, and these are referred to as ‘essential’ or ‘strictly necessary’ cookies. Other cookies also enable me to track and target the interests of my visitors to enhance the experience on my Website. Third parties serve cookies through my Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
3. How you can control cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies however, essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use my Website though your access to some functionality may be restricted. You can refuse cookies through your web browser; controls vary from browser to browser so you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
4. other tracking technologies
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. Other similar technologies may be used from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called ‘tracking pixels’ or ‘clear gifs’). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables me to recognise when someone has visited my Website or opened an email including them. This allows me, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another; to deliver or communicate with cookies; to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website; to improve site performance; and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
5. targeted advertising
Third-parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through my Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable me or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
6. updates to this policy
I may update this cookie policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies used or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by the ‘Last updated’ date at the top of this page. Please, therefore, revisit regularly to stay informed.
