What are Cookies?

Many of the websites that you visit place small text files on your computer. This enables the website to recognise your computer each time you visit. We call these text files ‘Cookies’.

We have three types of Cookies:

Type 1: Essential Cookies

We use these Cookies because they are essential for saving settings or preferences during your visit or until your next visit to the website. Without these Cookies, it could be difficult for you to use this website.

Were this website to contain a log-in function, an authentication Cookie would be placed on your computer to identify the user once he or she has logged in.

Type 2: Statistical Cookies

Like most website operators, Andys Tech Blog collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Andys Tech Blog’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Andys Tech Blog ’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Andys Tech Blog may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Andys Tech Blog  also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Andys Tech Blog  does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
