Like every blog that uses social networking buttons and has comments and analysis enabled, this blog uses cookies.
Although these cookies collect no personal data about you, a May 2012 EU ruling requires every site within Europe to let visitors know that cookies are being used. I am happy to comply.
The cookies used on the Squawk Point are:
- For the social media sharing icons you see here and on every blog (Twitter, Facebook and Google+ etc.)
- To make it easier for regular commenters to leave new comments.
- To allow me to measure traffic to the blog.
- To allow me to sell affiliate products (e.g. books from Amazon)
NB: There are no advertising cookies used anywhere on this blog.
If you are happy to go ahead, you don’t need to do anything. Just carry on enjoying the blog as before. Nothing has changed here. By continuing to use this blog, you are offering what’s called ‘implied consent’. If for any reason you do not like cookies, you can change your browser settings, delete cookies or try and find an alternative, cookie free blog.
Here is some more information about cookies for those of you who want to know more. It includes some ideas on how to block and manage cookies.
Many thanks to Jim Connolly’s marketing blog for allowing me to use this information.
