Cookies
Advertising
We do use Google AdWords, and Google drops cookies. You can tell Google that you don’t want “behavioural” advertising, you want to “opt out of Google interest based advertising“.
Web Analytics
We do use Google Analytics, and that drops a cookie. Google says that it doesn’t use the cookie for advertising purposes. However, if you really want to disable that cookie, too, look at how to use Google’s optional browser extension to opt out of Analytics.
Web Server Log File Analysis
We do a lot of work analysing web server log files. There’s a lot of information there. We try to anonymise data, because what we’re looking for is patterns of how the search engines are treating users 0 that is, we care about which search queries lead to which page, from which location. We don’t care that it is you, personally, doing that search. Its that the search engines have chosen to show you our site… The Search Engine is what we’e looking at. However, we may learn, in the course of doing that, a reverse lookup of your IP address reveals the town of your location, or the business that you work for.
