COOKIES IN USE ON THIS SITE
ANONYMOUS VISITOR STATISTICS
We use Google Analytics to anonymously track how people use our website.
We use anonymous cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn’t working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website.
These analytics services also tell us, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before.
It is important to note that Spongy Elephant never collects or stores any identifiable information about our site users, except where they give express permission (for example, by submitting details on registration or other online forms).
THIRD PARTY FUNCTION COOKIES
Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties. For example we embed Vimeo and YouTube videos in some of our Learning Trunks. Our site includes the following services, some of which use cookies:
- Surveys
- Quizzes
- Ratings
- Video and photo galleries
- MailChimp
- eCommerce
- Sessions
Disabling cookies will likely break the functions offered by these type of third party services.
TURNING COOKIES OFF
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. However, doing this will limit the functionality of a large number of sites, as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.
Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
