The data I collect about you
No personal data is collected about you.
Google Universal Analytics
I use Google Universal Analytics to see if anyone ever looks at the site. It's pure vanity. If you’d rather not have this information recorded, it’s possible to opt out of Google Analytics using this online tool. You can find out more about how Google use your data via their Privacy Policy.
I use Google Analytics to track:
- The pages you view
- Where you came from (e.g. a search engine)
- How long you spend on my website
- Your behaviour once on the site (e.g. the sequence of pages you visit)
- Your geographical location
This site and Google Analytics set the following cookies:
- _ga: This cookie assigns a random number to identify a browsing session for the purposes of tracking website usage. It expires after 2 years.
- _gid: This cookie assigns a value to each page to assist with tracking site usage. It expires after 24 hours.
- _gat_UA_: This cookie manages page request rate. It expires after 10 minutes.
- PHPSESSID: Variable used by the server to track logged in users - which would only ever be me and never you, so don't get excited.
