What are cookies?
‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser (eg Internet Explorer or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. Websites are able to read and write these files, allowing them store things such as user preferences.
I use cookies to help analyse where visitors to my website come from, and how they find my website on the internet. These cookies are anonymous and don’t store sensitive personal information such as your name and address.
Anonymous analytics
Every time a user visits justinstill.com, web analytics software provided by a third party generates an anonymous analytics cookie. These cookies can tell whether or not you’ve visited the site before. Your browser will tell the server if you have these cookies, and if you don’t, new ones are generated .
This allows me to track how many individual unique users the site has, and how often they visit the site. These cookies cannot be used to identify individuals; they are used for statistical purposes only. This allows me, for example, to tell which pages are the most visited at any one time.
Our analytics cookies are only accessible on the secure justinstill.com server, and the data cannot be altered or retrieved by any other service.
However, if you’d prefer to restrict, block or delete cookies from justinstill.com, or any other website, you can use your browser to do this. To find out how to do this please click here.
