How carbonfootprint.com uses cookies — what they are, how we use them, and how you can manage them.
As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies — tiny files that are downloaded to your computer to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or 'break' certain elements of the site's functionality.
For more general information on cookies see the Wikipedia article on HTTP cookies.
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not, in case they are used to provide a service that you use.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. Disabling cookies will usually result in also disabling certain functionality and features of this site. Therefore it is recommended that you do not disable cookies.
If you create an account with us, we will use cookies for the management of the signup process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out; however, in some cases they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences when logged out.
We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember this fact. This prevents you from having to log in every single time you visit a new page.
This site offers newsletter or email subscription services, and cookies may be used to remember if you are already registered and whether to show certain notifications.
This site offers e-commerce or payment facilities, and some cookies are essential to ensure that your order is remembered between pages so that we can process it properly.
From time to time we offer user surveys and questionnaires; these may use cookies to remember who has already taken part. When you submit data through a form, such as those found on contact pages, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.
In some special cases we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. This site uses Google Analytics — including Google Analytics Advertising Features — one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web, to help us understand how you use the site and how we can improve your experience.
We also use social-media buttons and/or plugins on this site that allow you to connect with your social network. For these to work, social-media sites including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube may set cookies through our site, which may be used to enhance your profile on their site or contribute to the data they hold, as outlined in their respective privacy policies.
Hopefully that has clarified things for you. As was previously mentioned, if there is something that you aren't sure whether you need or not, it is usually safer to leave cookies enabled in case it does interact with one of the features you use on our site.
