In this Notice we will refer to the mobile applications published by MyTown Media as Apps and use the term Sites to refer to our websites.

Like most websites and mobile applications, we use automatic data collection technology when you visit one of our Sites or use one of our Apps. This notice explains how we use so called “cookies” and other related technologies and how you can manage the behaviour of these cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files sent from a website to your web browser. They are stored in your web browser’s cache and allow a website or a third party to recognise your browser or mobile device. Mobile devices and browsers can be shared by a number of people, so cookies are not always wholly related to individuals.

Analytics Cookies

hold information as you view different pages of the website and help us to build up a profile of how our readers use the website. They help us to make the website work as efficiently as possible and provide better content and services in the future. We may also use analytics cookies to measure the effectiveness of advertising on the Sites and the Apps and elsewhere on the internet. We use Google Analytics to provide our web analytics

Personalisation and Service Cookies

remember your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They remember your registration and login details and your settings and preferences. They are used to ensure you don’t have to login every time you use your browser to comment on articles and to ensure interactive services work effectively.

They are also used to recommend content we think you’ll be interested in, based on what you’ve looked at before.

Advertising Cookies

are placed to deliver more relevant advertising. Our Sites, Apps and services are predominately free to consume, and in exchange we sell our advertising space to allow us to create high quality content and bring you the services you value. Cookies are a vital part of that value exchange.

Advertising Cookies are usually stored until you delete them or they expire based on the time period set in each cookie, which is normally around 30 days.

The third-party advertisers are required to follow the applicable laws. However, MyTown Media Ltd does not have control over the third-party organisations that place cookies, who each have their own cookie and privacy policies.

If you opt out of Advertising cookies, you are not opting out of seeing advertising! You will still see adverts. They just may not be as relevant to you and your interests.

Managing your cookie preferences

Most web browsers will allow you to turn off cookies. You should look at your web browsers Settings or Help menu to find out how this is done. However, please be aware that switching off cookies may affect the way the Site operates and adversely affect the quality of your experience on the website.
