How Digimasters Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit it. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in a comparable way. In this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.
This policy explains which cookies we use on www.digimasters.co.uk, why we use them and how you can control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies that give your device a unique, randomly generated identifier. This identifier does not tell us your name or contact details, but it does count as personal data under UK GDPR. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses, and we keep analytics data for 14 months.
Google Signals, advertising features and data sharing with Google are switched off. Google processes this data on our behalf and may transfer it to the United States. Our Privacy Policy explains the safeguards that protect international transfers. You can also opt out of Google Analytics on all websites by installing Google's opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Some of the cookies listed in clause 4 are set by third parties, such as Google. We only allow these cookies if you have consented to them. You can find more information in Google's privacy policy.
Our website does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals because there is no agreed industry standard for them.
We may update this policy when we change the cookies we use or when the law changes. The current version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
