What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows directaccesswebsites.co.uk or a third party to recognise you. Cookies might be used for the following purposes: (1) to enable certain functions; (2) to provide analytics; and (3) to store your preferences.
Why we use Cookies
Like most websites we use small pieces of data called cookies stored on users’ computers to simulate a continuous connection. Cookies let us ‘remember’ information about your preferences and passwords and allow you to move within our site without reintroducing yourself.
Types of Cookies
Cookies can either be “session cookies” or “persistent cookies”. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires or you delete your cookies. Cookies placed by the website you’re visiting are sometimes called “first party cookies,” while cookies placed by other companies are sometimes called “third party cookies.”
Session Cookies – These first party cookies allow you to use a feature of our site, such as:
• Staying logged in
• Viewing our templates
• Making purchases
Persistent Cookies – These third party cookies are stored on the user’s computer memory and are not deleted when the browser is closed. They are also used to collect information about the numbers of visitors, the average time spent on a particular page and analyse purchase behaviour on the website. This information is used to find out how the well the website works and where it can be improved.
Google Analytics
This is a behavioural tracking service that helps us find out what can be improved on the website and how important it is. It sets first party cookies via a piece of JavaScript code which is added to every page our site tracks. Google uses the following cookies on our site:
utma Cookie
It tracks visitors. It includes: first visit (unique visit), last visit (returning visit). This also includes Days and Visits to purchase calculations which afford ecommerce websites with data intelligence around purchasing sales funnels. This cookie remains on a computer, unless it expires or the cookie cache is cleared.
utmb Cookie & utmc Cookie
These cookies work in tandem to calculate visit length. Google utmb cookie demarks the exact arrival time, then Google utmc registers the exit time of the user.
utmz Cookie
Monitors the HTTP Referrer and notes where a visitor arrived from. This cookie lasts six months.
utmv Cookie
It is used for segmentation and data experimentation. This cookie lasts “forever”.
