How we use cookies
Cookies are small files that are put on your computer by websites as you surf them. These cookies can store lots of information which can have privacy implications.  They can be removed at any time by ‘clearing out cookies’ through your browser.

What are the cookies we use?
We use anonymous tracking software – Google Analytics, which is a service provided by Google and used by many websites.  They gather anonymous data of how people are using the Art in Coaching website and then provide us with visitor statistics, details of page views etc.  It’s like an online version of CCTV but one that automatically blurs your face so we can see what people have done, but not who.  If you want to opt-out of being tracked by Google Analytics you can do this at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. We use the statistics when planning and designing our site.

We also store cookies through WordPress which is the Content Management System we used to build this website. The cookies are used to highlight problems with the site in terms of missing pages or errors. Again, all data is anonymous and we only ever look at this data if something has gone wrong with our site. To date, nothing has gone wrong, but it’s useful to know it’s there in case anything ever does.

We are a small business and we cannot offer a cookie-free version of our site due to the level of the resources to provide and maintain one.
