Cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

I use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve my website in order to tailor it to customer needs. I only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with me.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Links to other websites

My website contains links to other websites that may be of interest to you. Please note that once you have used these links, you will have left my website and I do not have any control over those websites. I cannot therefore be held responsible for the privacy and protection of any information which you provide whilst visiting these such sites as they are not governed by my privacy policy. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement application to the website you are visiting.

This policy becomes effective from 25th May 2018 in line with The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Kerry-Ann's Cake Boutique may change this policy from time to time to ensure it remains in line with the said regulations. Any questions or concerns should be addressed to Kerry Wilson at info@kerryannscakeboutiuque.com.
