Cookie Policy
The People section on our website tells you that we’re a bunch of super talented dreamers, doers and biscuit lovers. Here, we want to tell you about one of our favourite types of biscuits: cookies. While we know that you clicked on our Cookies Notice to find out about the cookies that we have on our website, we also thought we’d share with you the down-low on the cookies in our kitchen cupboards. You should read this Cookie Notice in conjunction with our Privacy Notice which can be found here. This Cookies Notice is kept under regular review and was last updated in June 2021.
1. What is a cookie?
Our website cookies: A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that are stored on your browser, the hard drive of your computer or mobile device, if you agree. Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to provide you with a personalised experience when you browse our website. It also helps us to improve our website, so that you can have a better user experience when you later return.
Cookies we love to munch: A cookie is a round baked item which has a fairly soft and chewy texture which often contains pieces of chocolate, fruit and/or nut.
2. Are cookies safe?
Our website cookies: Cookies are safe for your devices. They only store information used by your browser. They can't access any other content on your device, nor do they create malware or viruses.
Cookies we love to munch: Definitely and hugely endorsed by our People. We’re huge supporters of our client Maryland Cookies that offers a sugar free cookie too (check out our work with them here). Come visit us at our offices and we’ll share our assortment of cookies with you (and if you’re lucky, we’ll even give you a nice cup of tea or a cold glass of milk to dunk your cookies into).
3. Are there different types of cookies?
Our website cookies: There are two main categories of first-party cookies on our website which are “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies last for the duration or your visit to our website; they delete themselves when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device when you close your browser. Cookies are further broken down into four main types of cookies depending on their purpose:
Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the operation of our website. Our website cannot function properly without these cookies. We only use strictly necessary cookies for their essential purposes unless you have given us consent to any other uses that they may have.
Functionality cookies: These cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences.
Analytical or performance cookies: We use these cookies to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website work, for example, by ensuring that our users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Targeting cookies: We use these cookies to record your visit to our website and the pages you have visited. We use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose (i.e., third parties that assist with our advertising).
Some of the cookies on our website collect data for more than one use.
Cookies we love to munch: There are thousands of different types of cookies out there. We’re big fans of double chocolate chip cookies (irresistible and gooey), cranberry and orange cookies (delicious and chewy), salted caramel cookies (seriously sensational), lemon and white chocolate cookies (perfect balance of flavours) stem ginger cookies (sweet and spicy), pistachio and almond cookies (nutty like us) and oatmeal raisin cookies (the healthier version for when we’re watching our waistlines). Feeling peckish yet?
4. What about third-party cookies?
Our website cookies: We use third parties when providing you with our website which may set cookies on your browser or hardware. These third parties may include, for example, providers of external services like web traffic analysis services. These third-party cookies are usually analytical cookies, performance cookies or targeting cookies. If you do not feel comfortable, you can individually block these cookies in the cookie settings on our website or you can block them in general by changing the settings on your browser (so that it blocks all of these types of cookies).
Cookies we love to munch: Our neighbors and friends often gift us with freshly baked crumbly homemade cookies. As these are usually our favorite, we tend to devour these during our Book Club forums.
5. Where can I see exactly what cookies Journey Further uses, their purpose, duration and expiry?
Our website cookies: If you want to see the specific cookies that are on our website and their purpose, duration and expiry, click here.
Cookies we love to munch: To see our physical stash (or should we say mountain) of cookies in our kitchen cupboards, you’ll need to drop us a visit at our offices. Cookies were made to be eaten and our People love to devour them. They don’t last long in the kitchen cupboards, and we never have to worry about the expiry date on any of the boxes as we usually munch through a box within a day or so.
6. Are there any specific cookies that Journey Further uses that I should know about?
Our website cookies: Yes, we use Google Analytics on our website for our advertising purposes, to improve our website and get feedback on how we are presenting our services to our users. Data is gathered by Google Analytics from users’ internet protocol address’ albeit in an anonymised form whereby Journey Further can see information about the ages, genders and interests of our users. The data is then transmitted by Google Analytics onto a server in the U.S. where it is stored. If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from processing the data generated by cookies in this situation, you can do so by downloading and installing the following technical browser plug-in (a so-called "add-on") by clicking here. This browser plug-in only works on your desktop but not on mobile devices. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data on your mobile devices by setting an "opt out" cookie that blocks the collection of your data on future visits to our website. To do this, you need to enter the following link to the HTML source-code with JavaScript in front of the Google Analytics code: <a href="javascript:gaOptout()"<Deactivate Google Analytics</a>
Cookies we love to munch: Yes, tripe chocolate chip cookies feature in our kitchen cupboards every week. We are obsessed with these ones at the moment, so if you’re popping over for a visit and fancy being generous, we’d be grateful if you brought a box or two over.
7. Would a cookie on my browser be considered to be my personal data?
Our website cookies: As cookies allow us to identify you as an individual, we have your personal data in our systems. We believe in the importance of data privacy and treat your personal data with the utmost of care. If you would like to find out more about how Journey Further handles personal data, please review our Privacy Notice which can be found here.
Cookies we love to munch: We do not recommend that you munch cookies whilst using your devices in case your cookie crumbs fall into it. Good keyboard hoovers are hard to find.
8. What if I share my device with other people?
Our website cookies: If more than one person uses your device, the choices set by others will apply to you as well unless you specifically change them when you are using your device. For example, if you share a computer with your colleagues, family or friends, you may see adverts based on websites they have visited as well as websites you have visited.
Cookies we love to munch: Make sure that no one is munching cookies whilst using your device in case the cookie crumbs fall into it.
9. What happens if I change or turn off one or more types of cookies in my browser?
Our website cookies: You can visit the “options” or “preferences” menu or your browser to change your settings. You may find it useful to review the following useful websites which give you advice based on the browser you’re using:
Cookie settings in Chrome
Cookie settings in Safari for Macs and iOS
Cookie settings in Internet Explorer
Cookie settings in Firefox
Other useful websites that you may wish to visit include www.aboutcookies.org and www.allaboutcookies.org. We are not responsible for the information on any of the websites above.
You can also choose to entirely turn off or delete cookies in your browser. If you do this, it may affect websites that use similar cookies to us. This is because the cookies choices you set in your browser replace any cookies choices you set on a single website.
Cookies we love to munch: Its sometimes good to have a break from cookies, however, as we’re addicted to them, we prefer to switch to a healthier version of cookies such as oatmeal fruit cookies. We love cookies too much.
10. What are the consequences of refusing cookies?
Our website cookies: If you use your browser setting to block all cookies (including strictly necessary and therefore essential cookies) or those specifically on our website, you may not be able to access all or parts of our website and subsequently have a great user experience.
Cookies we love to munch: We won’t be offended at all if you refuse any of our cookies from the extensive collection in our kitchen cupboards. We do appreciate that everyone is not as cookie obsessed as us.
