4. Use of cookies

4.1 What are cookies?

Like most websites, this Website uses cookies and similar technology. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

On this website cookies are used for anonymous measurement of which pages users visit. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

During the course of any visit to the Funeral Guide website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

4.2 How does the Funeral Guide website use cookies?

Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of Funeral Guide’s visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience.

Funeral Guide also uses various independent measurement and research companies who gather anonymous information regarding the visitors to Funeral Guide’s website on Funeral Guide’s behalf using cookies, log file data and code which is embedded on Funeral Guide’s website.
