This page explains what you need to know about how Walker Books uses cookies on its websites, and how to choose to manage or remove them if you wish to do so. 

About cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data (which often includes a unique identifier) that is sent to a user’s computer or mobile phone from a website and is stored on the hard drive of a device. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to report on website traffic. Your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. 

How Walker Books' websites use cookies

Cookies on Walker Books' websites are used in a number of ways. A full list of all the cookies used on this website can be seen in the list of cookies used on the Guess How Much I Love You site, below.

1. Analytics

Walker Books uses a range of analytics tools to collect information about how people use its sites. This helps us make sure sites are meeting users’ needs and to find out how we could improve.

Analytics cookies store information about what pages people visit, how long they are on the site, how they got there and what they click on. Information supplied by cookies help Walker Books to analyse the profile of visitors and provide them with a better experience.

Analytics cookies do not collect or store users’ personal information (for example, names or addresses), so this information cannot be used to identify individuals. Walker Books does not allow analytics companies to use or share its analytics data.

In addition to website analytics, Walker Books websites may carry embedded ‘share’ buttons to enable users of the site to easily share articles with their friends through popular social networks. These sites may set a cookie when you are also logged in to their service.

Walker Books does not control the dissemination of these cookies. For more information about the cookies used by these suppliers, including how to opt-out, view their individual privacy policy below.
