Cookies Policy

Before we get started, please note that WWWorry does not use “Targeting” (advertising) cookies. We take pride in keeping our users as safe and anonymous as possible.

Our cookies are only in place to improve our user’s experience with us and expressly do three things:

• Remember how our visitors customise the appearance of our site (e.g. hiding a subscription form) so we can provide a consistent experience
• Find out where our visitors are coming from (e.g. Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) so we can determine our marketing efforts
• Find out how our visitors use our website so we can make informed content and design decisions

Cookies are the tiny, adorably named text files that can be placed on your computer or mobile device that uniquely (but anonymously) identify your browser or device. They are unable to search your computer in any way, cannot introduce viruses to your computer, and contain no personally identifiable information about you.

Cookies are used by sites or services when they want to know if your computer or device has visited a site or service before. The cookies on your computer or device can then be used to help remember your preferences (such as hiding a subscription form), help you navigate between pages efficiently, and generally improve your browsing experience.

Similarly, cookies are used by web publishers to help understand how their site or service is being used. Services such as Google Analytics use cookies to provide anonymous aggregated data such as how long users, in general, spent on the site, how many pages they visited and in which order, etc.

Cookies can also be used for online advertising – by aggregating the very basic information cookies gather, informed guesses could be made about your demographic and ads targeted to you. Or more simply – if you go to a site about watches, it may drop a cookie on your computer, so the next sites you go to will then contain ads about watches.

There are generally four categories of cookies: “Strictly Necessary,” “Performance,” “Functionality,” and “Targeting.” WWWorry routinely uses three of these types of cookie: “Strictly Necessary,” “Performance,” and “Functionality.”

Here is some information about each cookie category:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential, as they enable you to move around WWWorry and use its features. For example – the cookie to say you have/have not allowed cookies to be used on this site.
• Performance Cookies. These cookies collect information about how you have used WWWorry, for example, Google Analytics, which is used to track basic user behaviour on this site so we can try and improve our users’ experience.
• Functionality Cookies. WWWorry uses this type of cookie to remember if you’ve submitted a form, if you’re logged in or out, and anything else that is used to make sure you don’t have to unnecessarily repeat an action. The information these cookies collect is anonymous, and they are not used to track your browsing activity on other sites or services.

The amount of time a cookie stays on your device is variable: the majority of cookies expire after the end of your browsing session – others persist for longer. In online advertising, you can generally expect most advertising cookies to last about one month at most (although this may vary).

First-party cookies are cookies that belong to WWWorry, third-party cookies are cookies that another party places on your device through our site. Third-party cookies may be placed on your device by someone providing a service for WWWorry, for example, to help us understand how our service is being used.

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
