Site usage information
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are often created when you visit a website, and which are stored in the cookie directory of your computer. A cookie is created when you visit MotorcyclingMatters.org. MotorcyclingMatters.org uses both permanent cookies and session cookies. The permanent cookie stores a random number on your computer to help us count the number of times users return to our site. The session cookie lets us know which pages within our site you visit. Permanent cookies do not expire when you leave MotorcyclingMatters.org and may be used on subsequent visits to the site. Session cookies expire when you leave MotorcyclingMatters.org or switch off your computer.
The cookie (whether permanent or session) does not contain any personal information about you, and it cannot be used to identify an individual user.
You can set your browser not to accept cookies. If you do not know how to do this, contact us, giving details on the type of browser you are using, and we will do our best to help.
Log files
Log files record visitors' use of the site. We can collect information about site usage from the data contained in these logs which we obtain from third parties. Log files do not contain any personal information and they are not used to identify any individual patterns of use of the site.
Page tagging
We use JavaScript to aggregate and analyse customer usage patterns on all websites that are part of the www.MotorcyclingMatters domain. This provides us with data on your usability and behaviour. We use this information to make changes to the layout of the website and to the information in it. This does not collect any personal or identifiable information about users.
We may sometimes tag pages on this website during campaigns using pixel tags (which are sometimes called spotlight tags or web beacons). These tags enable us to find out which elements of the website are successful in directing users to particular areas of the website. With this technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable.
