This page provides details surrounding the cookies which are used across our website adamsacademy.com and what they are used for.
What are the cookies?
A cookie is a small file that is saved by your browser when you visit a website. It enables certain information about your visit to be stored by the site. Some of these cookies are essential in order for a website to run as you would expect it to while others allow us to provide you with a better service (for example, understanding what content is most popular, to provide you more of the same).
Our cookie policy
We understand you need to reach the most relevant information quickly and easily. So, our main aim of using cookies is to provide you with the most optimised ‘user experience’ possible. We may use cookies to help you navigate the website efficiently and perform certain functions. For example, cookies allow us to remember your log in details to save you from having to type your username and password every time you visit us, or move from page to page. Our website analytics tool also uses cookies in order to analyse how, when and where visitors use our websites, but this information is not tied to personally identifiable information. We only use this data to improve your experience. For example, we are able to find out what the most popular content is each week, and update our homepage to reflect that current interest. For members, subscribers and registered users of our website, if your cookies aren’t enabled on your computer, it will mean that your experience when logged in to our website will be limited. You will only be able to browse and you will not be able to use our shop to book on an event or order publications. For more details about cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org.
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on the website.
Session cookies
We use session cookies to keep you logged in while you move through pages and services on our site, to enable you to complete transactions on the site and, for example, to pre-populate forms with information to save you typing in information that you have already provided. Session cookies have a short lifetime and will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser.
Persistent cookie
We will use the persistent cookies to enable our website to recognise you when you visit. If you select “Remember Me” when logging in to the site a persistent cookie will be stored on your computer or device that will remain live for 2 weeks so that the website can keep you logged in when using that browser on that particular computer or device until you choose to log out. If you do not wish for our website to ‘remember you’, you must ensure that you do not select the “Remember Me” checkbox.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. This analysis shows us which areas of the site are popular and those that are not often visited which helps us to use our website resources in the most effective way. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information.
