Cookie free website

We’ve gone “Cookie Free” so no “Cookie Pop-up” for you.

Your Cookie consent choice.

When you visit a website and up-pops a “Cookie Consent” box, how many times have you sighed and clicked the “Accept” or “OK” button because it’s the easiest and often the only one on offer (we’ve all done it)? Or you may be lucky and have a selection to pick from, with “Necessary” usually a fixed choice. A “Reject All” option appears to be the least available option.

So what are you consenting to?

You agree to small files, called Cookies, being downloaded directly from a website onto your phone, tablet, laptop, or computer.

 

And what do these Cookie files do?

Cookies can help with the general running of websites, which improves your user experience, i.e., by completing some or all of your login details or providing ads that interest you instead of a random selection. But some Cookie files have little to do with improving your user experience and more with harvesting your data for advertising. And this is something more and more people are not happy about, including us, and is why we decided to go “Cookie Free”.

 

Going Cookie Free.

No Cookies, no Cookie Consent pop-up.
