Cookies Policy

(1) Introduction

Our website uses cookies.

***** No cookies are currently being used by the owner of this site or by the developer. Cookies may be set by Google however as we use Google Analytics as a means to determine the number of page visits, the page that was visited and the way in which you ( no personallly identifiable information is available ) arrived at this site i.e. search queries, direct links ( from a directory for example), or by manually entering the web address of this site or any pages on this site.

The website developer has not set the use of User-ID to help track your activity on this site for the use of advertising. That being more relevant and appropriate advert placements by Google when you use any of their products. Which Google provides you the ability to opt-in or opt-out of when using their products, such as their search engine, YouTube, Maps etc.

The web developer ( bluefluxgraphic@gmail.com ) has decided to place some appropriate links for search query terms using Google's search engine. These links will take you to a page for products used that are relevant to the context of this website e.g. Freesat receiver units and freesat televisions.

The decision was made out of respect for Google's search engine methods which has allowed DG TV And Aerial Services to flourish without the need for either paying for advertising their business using Google Ads or the web developer needing to implement user tracking for their or Google's benefit with regards to advertising and data sharing with third parties.

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies can be used by web servers to identity and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and identify users returning to a website.

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies.

A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date).

A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

The key piece of legislation in the UK relating to cookies is the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003. The cookies policy will also help you to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 insofar as it affects the use of web cookies.

Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (as amended) provides that:

"(1) Subject to paragraph (4), a person shall not store or gain access to information stored, in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user unless the requirements of paragraph (2) are met.

(2) The requirements are that the subscriber or user of that terminal equipment—(a) is provided with clear and comprehensive information about the purposes of the storage of, or access to, that information; and (b) has given his or her consent.

(3) Where an electronic communications network is used by the same person to store or access information in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user on more than one occasion, it is sufficient for the purposes of this regulation that the requirements of paragraph (2) are met in respect of the initial use.

(3A) For the purposes of paragraph (2), consent may be signified by a subscriber who amends or sets controls on the internet browser which the subscriber uses or by using another application or programme to signify consent.

(4) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the technical storage of, or access to, information—(a) for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network; or (b) where such storage or access is strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service requested by the subscriber or user."
