📈 Server log files and statistics

Like all servers, our hosting records basic anonymous information about user sessions – such as which pages are visited from which IP addresses.

This allows us to monitor our website and improve the service for our users.

We also use some third party statistics programs like Google Analytics and WordPress Stats which collect anonymous information that allows us to see things like which pages are popular and how many visitors we get.

Collecting statistics about your website is really important – it is like being able to tell how many people are in your shop at any one time. 

đŸĒ Cookies and Web Beacons

Depending on how you use our website, sometimes we may use web-cookies to store information about visitors preferences, record user-specific information on which pages the user access or visit and allow for account related functions such as signing-up and logging-in to happen.

Let’s give you a specific example to help you understand. If you are an account holder on this website, to keep your account secure and so we know who you are, WordPress will automatically store a very small file in your browser that basically gives you an ID number. When you come back to the website, WordPress can see who you are again because of the cookie. Though you can always clear your browser cookies at any time – it is super easy!

Other third parties may also use cookies for things like advertising – you can read more about that in the paragraphs that follow.
