Cookie Policy

This cookie notice is for visitors to our websites and other digital platforms. It sets out how we use cookies. In this notice ‘we’ and ‘our’ means Westbourne Publishers Limited which operates this platform.

For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. To do this, a site will create files known as cookies – which are small text files – on its users’ computers. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognise its users on subsequent visits, or to authorise other designated websites to recognise these users for a particular purpose.

Cookies do a lot of different jobs which make your experience of the Internet much smoother and more interactive. Some data collected is designed to detect browsing patterns and approximate geographical location to improve user experience.

Information collected by cookies is now classed as personal data.

We collect a number of cookies from our users for various reasons, not least to track our own performance – but also to let us serve you content tailored to your own specifications, hopefully improving your overall experience of the website.

We do our utmost to respect users’ privacy. We sometimes include links on our site to goods and services offered by third parties and we may be paid some commission if you subsequently decide to make a purchase. Cookies may be used to track your visits to third party sites to help ensure that we are paid the correct amounts.

There are two main types of cookies:

• Persistent cookies: Remain on a user’s device for a set period and are activated each time the user visits the website.
• Session cookies: Temporary files that are deleted once the browser is closed.

These are essential to navigate around a website and use its features. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to use basic services like registration or shopping baskets. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing.

• Setting unique identifiers for visitors for site analysis.
• Allowing you to sign in to our website as a registered user.

These collect data for statistical purposes on how visitors use a website. They don’t contain personal information such as names and email addresses and are used to improve your user experience.

• Gathering data about visits, length of time spent on the site, and pages clicked.

These allow users to customise how a website looks for them: they can remember usernames, language preferences, and regions.

• Storing your user preferences on Your Account page.
• Remembering if you’ve been to the site before so first-time messages are not repeated.

These are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you, limit the number of times you see an ad, and chart the effectiveness of an ad campaign. They can remember that you have visited a website, and this information can be shared with other organisations, including advertisers.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can alter the settings of your browser to erase cookies or prevent automatic acceptance. Visit the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu on your browser to change settings.
