Proclaim Group Cookie Policy
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website, to help operate our website, to understand how users navigate our website and to help us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our website.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.
There are generally four types of cookies:
– Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website.
– Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
– Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
– Tracking cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed.
You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them below:
Cookie title – Google Analytics
http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html
Abbreviation – _ga. _gat. _gid. (_utma. _utmb. _utmc. _utmz.)
Purpose – These cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use our site. We use the information to compile usage reports and to help us to improve the site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from and the pages they visited.
Cookie title – Cookie Dismissed
Abbreviation – cookie_widget_dismissed
Purpose – This cookie resets the cookie acceptance panel after 90 days. This is due to any changes in our privacy policy and/or legal and/or terms of conditions. This is a bespoke cookie. The only data we recognise is your last visit date and time.
Cookie title – WordPress Cookies
Abbreviation – wp-settings-{time}-[UID], wordpress_test_cookie, wordpress_logged_in_[hash], wordpress_[hash]
Purpose – These are the cookies that activate in the WordPress admin area of the website. They do not affect a viewers visit to the website and are purely for adaption to a users preference of how WordPress works.
The following cookies are activated in the admin area (WordPress) of the website.
WordPress uses the cookie wordpress_[hash] to store the authentication details on login. The authentication details include the username and double hashed copy of the password. However, this usage of the cookie is limited to the admin console area, the backend dashboard of the website.
The cookie wordpress_logged_in_[hash] is used to indicate when you are logged in, and who you are. This cookie is maintained on the front-end of the website as well when logged in.
Here [hash] represents the value that is obtained by applying a specific mathematical formula applied to the username and password. It is to ensure that the input values are safe, and no one can access these data using the cookies as it is difficult to ‘unhash’ the hashed data.
The cookie wp-settings-{time}-[UID] is used to customise the view of your admin interface and the front-end of the website. The value represented by [UID] is the individual user ID of the user as given to them in the users’ database table.
WordPress also sets a cookie named wordpress_test_cookie to check if the cookies are enabled on the browser to provide appropriate user experience to the users. This cookie is used on the front-end, even if you are not logged in.
Third Party Cookies
Please note that third parties may also use cookies, over which we have no control.
These third parties may include, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services. These third-party cookies are likely to be analytical cookies or performance cookies or targeting cookies.
