Cookies and How We Use Them
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser and to provide services, such as interest-based advertisements provided by Google Adsense. At no time does uk-schools.co.uk save any personal data.
We also use cookies for additional purposes, including:
- Delivering content, including advertisements, relevant to your interests on Wikistadiums and third-party sites. Our interest-based ads are provided by Google Adsense and are subject to your preferences as described in the next section.
- Conducting research and diagnostics to improve uk-schools.co.uk's content, products and services. This service is provided to us by Google Analytics.
Cookies and Browser Settings
The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer.
Internet Advertising
On uk-schools.co.uk we display advertisements provided by Google Adsense. Google Adsense displays interest-based advertising using information you make available to Google when you interact with Google sites, content, or services. Interest-based ads, also sometimes referred to as personalised or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information from activities such as visiting sites that contain Google content or ads and interacting with other Google tools.
Like other online ad networks, Google Adsense use cookies, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies (collectively, "cookies"). Cookies enable Google Adsense to learn about what ads you see, what ads you click, and other actions you take on our sites and other sites. This allows Google Adsense to provide you with more useful and relevant ads. For example, if Google Adsense know what ads you are shown Google Adsense can be careful not to show you the same ones repeatedly.
We do not associate your interaction with unaffiliated sites with your identity in providing you with interest-based ads.
We do not provide any personal information to advertisers or to third party sites that display our interest-based ads. However, advertisers and other third-parties (including the ad networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use) may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalised ad or content are part of the group that the ad or content is directed towards (for example, users in the north west who bought or browsed for classical music). Also, some third-parties may provide Google Adsense information about you (such as demographic information or sites where you have been shown ads) from offline and online sources that Google Adsense may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.
Advertisers or ad companies working on their behalf sometimes use technology to serve the ads that appear on our sites directly to your browser. They may also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalise ad content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that advertisers and third party sites may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third party websites are not covered by this Cookies & Internet Advertising page. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.
