Visitor Statistics Cookies
We
use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people
have visited our website, what type of technology they are using
(e.g. Mac, Windows or Linux which helps to identify when our site
isn't working as it should for particular technologies), how long
they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to
continuously improve our website. These so called analytics programs
also tell us if, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site

We
Use Advertising Cookies
Cookies
are widely used in online advertising. Neither us, advertisers or our
advertising partners can gain personally identifiable information
from these cookies. We only work with advertising partners who work
to accepted privacy standards.
You
can learn more about online advertising at: http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
You
can opt-out of almost all advertising cookies at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices
although we would prefer that you didn't as ultimately adverts help
keep much of the internet free. It is also worth noting that opting
out of advertising cookies will not mean you won't see adverts, just
simply that they won't be tailored to you any longer.

Banner
Adverts
We
fund our site by showing adverts as you browse our site. These
adverts are usually managed by a partner specialising in providing
adverts for multiple sites. Invariably these partners place cookies
to collect anonymous data about the websites you visits so they can
personalise the adverts to you, ensure that you don't see the same
adverts too frequently and ultimately report to advertisers on which
adverts are working. Our partners include :"Google", "Print Friendly", “Energise For Life –
Alkaline Beginners Guide”, “Cerra Water – World's Healthiest
Water”, and Berkey – World Leader in Water Purifiers”.
Turning
Cookies Off
You
can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to
stop it from accepting cookies.
Doing so however will likely limit the functionality of our's and a
large proportion of the world's websites as cookies are a standard
part of most modern websites.
It
may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so called
"spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your
browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same
objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be
invasive. Learn more about Managing Cookies With Antispyware Software.
