What Information Is Collected
This site collects anonymous information about the visitors to the website for analytics purposes, and personal information from those users who complete the contact form.

Cookies
In May 2011, the UK Government passed new legislation is regards to the use of Cookies. The following section explains what cookies are, which ones are collected by this site and how they are used.
How We Collect Information
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by the websites that you visit. They are commonly used in order to make websites work by tracking goods that you have placed in a basket, or work more efficiently by remembering your login details, as well as to provide information about the sites usage to the owners of the site.
Types of Cookies
There are three types of cookies dropped and collected by websites. With some exceptions (i.e. websites that fundamentally require cookies in order for website functionality) from 26th May 2012, all cookies must be consented to by a site’s users.
WordPress websites also collect cookies for commentators. As the SiteVisibility website is built using WordPress, these cookies apply to users.
When visitors comment on the blog, they will have cookies stored on their computer. This is purely for convenience, so that the visitor will not be required to re-type all their information again when they want to leave another comment in the future.
Three cookies are set for commenters:
comment_author
comment_author_email
comment_author_url
The commenter cookies are set to expire a little less than one year from the time they’re set.
Users of the site who wish to share SiteVisibility’s content socially using Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ (the platforms which are currently enabled on the website to allow this function) may have cookies stored on their computers from these third party websites.
Cookies are collected from third party sites so that you can be logged in to your account on their site and share our content simply and easily.
