4. Every time a user visits our website, web analytics software provided by third parties generates an anonymous persistent cookie. These cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before. This allows us to track how many individual unique users we have, how often they visit the site and which parts of the site are of most interest. These cookies cannot be used to identify individuals; they are used for statistical purposes only.
5. On some pages, third parties also set their own anonymous cookies, for the purposes of tracking the success of their application, or customising the application for you. Because of how cookies work, Craft Finder cannot access these cookies, nor can the third parties access the data in cookies used by Craft Finder. For example, when you share an article using a social media sharing button on Craft Finder, the social network that has created the button will record that you have done this.
