In common with many websites, this site, acupotential.co.uk, uses cookies set by Google Analytics to collect statistical information on our website usage - we do not collect or use any personal information about you. By using our website you agree that we can place these cookies on your device.
The following paragraphs provide an overview of these cookies and their use, as well as some links to further information, and if you wish to use them, some methods you might use to block their use.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small units of text transferred to your hard drive which can be used for many purposes, for example, to measure performance, to identify a user and personalise their use of a website, and so on. In some cases, like banking, they are essential to maintain your security and privacy, in others they are used to improve and customise the website experience. In our case, this website does not use cookies to provide any form of advertising or to customise our web pages - they are for performance measurement only.
Google Analytics Cookies
Our website uses Google Analytics software. By placing cookies on your hard drive we can obtain aggregated usage data of the website - this may help us to improve the design and quality of our website by showing, for example, which pages are most popular by counting the number of visitors to the page, how visitors move around the website, or from where you were referred to our website. No personal information is collected or retained by these cookies. Google provides a wealth of technical information on Analytics and the associated cookies, described here. acupotential.co.uk uses the default configuration of Google Analytics.
Technically speaking, Google Analytics uses 'first-party cookies' to track visitor interactions - this means that all cookies set by Google Analytics for acupotential.co.uk send data only to the servers for the acupotential.co.uk domain. This effectively makes Google Analytics cookies the property of our website domain, and the data cannot be altered or retrieved by any service on another domain.

Users can set their browsers to accept or reject all, or certain, cookies. The cookies for Google Analytics are created automatically unless the user’s browser is set to refuse them.

The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics.
If you want to opt out, download and install the add-on for your current web browser. To do so please visit the following site: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is available for Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera.
