At Co-creation Marketing we aim to be open about the way our site works to collect user data, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.

Co-creationmarketing.co.uk uses cookies. A cookie consists of a piece of text sent by a web server to your web browser, which is then stored by your browser. The information is then sent back to our web server each time your browser requests a page from the server. This enables the webserver to identify individual web browsers. It does not contain personally identifiable information such as your name or other personal details – simply a unique identifier relevant to you.

By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.

1. What information do we collect?

We collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:

  • information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views, and website navigation)
  • information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us and for the purpose of subscribing to our website services, email notifications and/or newsletters (including name, email, job role and communication preferences);
  • and any other information that you choose to send to us.

2. Cookie use policy

This section gives comprehensive information on how we use cookies on Co-creationmarketing.co.uk.

When you can access our free blog posts, a cookie is placed on your computer by our content management system (CMS) WordPress, which uses a session cookie. This temporary cookie is not used for tracking purposes, it’s an essential, “strictly necessary” part of providing content to you through our CMS.

We also use other web services provided by other companies to improve the experience for users of Co-creationmarketing.co.uk and to help us review how we improve our service for users and commercially. The services we use are:

  • Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates anonymous statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google’s privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html
  • Twitter Social Plug-ins. We use these to share content from within Twitter in our footer. Twitter may collect information about your browser also. Other social sharing icons such as Google+1 and Facebook may also collect information.
  • Disqus. This is our comment system. It collects some information on browser usage and remembers users through cookies.

How do I block cookies from these service?

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

If you want to manage privacy we recommend you install Ghostery which gives you a chance to learn more about each service it identifies on a site and block their cookies or Scripts. It gives information on how they describe themselves, a link to their privacy policies.
