8. How I use Web Analytics and Cookies

When someone visits www.danielsellers.co.uk I collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. I do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site.

The information about how you use my website is processed in a way which does not identify you as an individual. Google Analytics transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States.

I use reports provided by Google Analytics to help me understand website traffic and webpage usage. I do not make, and do not allow Google Analytics to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting my website. If I do want to collect personally identifiable information through my website, I will always be up front about this and clearly ask for your consent. I will make it clear when I collect personal information and will always explain what I intend to do with it.
