When you visit the Doc Society site (docsociety.org) or any related site (goodpitch.org, docacademy.org, safeandsecure.film) we collect data that enables us to track your usage of any of our sites by means of cookies. Cookies are small files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. Your browser sends them back to that website site on each subsequent visit, so that it can recognise you and remember things like personalised details or user preferences Cookies enable us to analyse web traffic, make the experience of using our websites smoother, and they may also perform certain essential functions without which it would not be possible to use our website. For example, a cookie may record whether you have logged in with a password, and can therefore access secure parts of our website. Cookies may remain on your computer after you leave our website or after your Internet session finishes. You can block cookies using your browser preferences, and you can delete cookies either via your browser settings or using system utilities. For more information, please visit About Cookies.
What kinds of cookies does Doc Society use and why?
These are essential in helping you to move around our websites and using their features, such as accessing secure (password-protected) areas, for example a user account. Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for, such accessing your account, cannot be provided.
We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. We use this information to report to our funders and to analyse website usage so that we can improve user experience. Google Analytics collects information such as the number of site visitors, which pages they visited, how they came to the site and their location. This information is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.
You can block cookies by changing settings in your browser. Bear in mind that if you block cookies then our sites, and other sites you visit, may no longer work for you as intended.
Changes that you make to browser settings will only apply to that browser; if you use multiple browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and wish to opt out of cookies then you will need to change settings in each browser that you use. Changes to browser settings will only take effect on the device on which you make those changes, unless your browsers are set up to share your settings across different devices. If your browsers are not set up in this way and you want to opt out of cookies then you will need to change the settings of each browser on each device that you use.
If you delete all cookies, then all site preferences stored on your device will be deleted. This means that if you opt out from cookies for a given site and then delete all cookies, your opt-out will not be saved and you will need to opt out again (which will store a strictly necessary cookie so that your device can remember that you have opted out).
