lern4us.blogspot.com is a trading name of Well Known Media Limited. This document sets out our policy relating to the use of cookies.
What are ‘Cookies’?
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser
on your computer's hard drive. They are often used as a mechanism for
websites to remember things that a website browser has done there in the
past, for example, clicking on particular buttons, logging in, or
having read pages on that site months or years ago.
How does lern4us.blogspot.com use Cookies?
In common with many other website operators, we use cookies on our
website. We use them to enrich your experience of using the website by
allowing us to tailor what you see to what we have learned about your
preferences during your visits to the site. Our cookies are also used to
enable us to develop our website to reflect our customers’ interests
by, among other things, noting who has seen which pages, how frequently
particular pages are visited and determining the most popular areas of
our website.
In general we use the following cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies: These
are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They
include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas
of our website. You can find more information about the necessary
cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them in the table

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by
Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze your
use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your
use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and
stored on a Google server in the United States of America. Google use
this information to assess your use of the website, providing reports on
website activity for website operators and other website activity and
internet related services. Google may transfer this information to third
parties, if required by law or if third parties process the information
on behalf of Google. Google will not associate your IP address with any
other data held by Google. utma, utmt, utmb, utmc, utmz and utmv are
the six main cookies set by the Google Analytics service which enable
website owners to track visitor behaviour and measure site performance.
__utma:
It is used to calculate new and returning visitor statistics. The cookie
is updated every time data is sent to Google Analytics.
__utmt: This cookie is used by google to throttle requests to their systems, protecting them from being overloaded.
__utmb:
The cookie is updated every time data is sent to Google Analytics. Any
activity by a user within the 30 minute life span will count as a single
visit, even if the user leaves and then returns to the site. A return
after 30 minutes will not count as a new visit, but a returning visitor.
__utmc:
This cookie is not used in most sites but is set to enable
interoperability with the older version of Google Analytics code known
as Urchin. In older versions this was used in combination with the
__utmb cookie to identify new sessions/visits for returning visitors.
When used by Google Analytics this is always a session cookie which is
destroyed when the user closes their browser. Where it is seen as a
persistent cookie it is therefore likely to be a different technology
setting the cookie.
__utmz:
This cookie tracks where visitors have come to the website, i.e.
directly browsing to the site, using a search engine (tracks the search
term used, etc.), as well as the geographical location of the visitor.
It allows Google Analytics to report on how to "credit" a visit or
successful ecommerce transaction.
__utmv:
This cookie tracks any custom analytics variables set by the website.
The cookie is updated every time data is sent to Google Analytics.

Third Party Cookies: Many
of the adverts you see on our website are generated by third parties.
Before running on our website, adverts are vetted for their content and
we only work with companies that we feel are relevant to our content and
our users. The companies that generate these adverts have their own
privacy policies and may set their own or other third party cookies via
these adverts. Other than setting up the coding they request when we
receive the advert we don’t have control over how these companies employ
cookies. In some instances, you may find these adverts contain
anonymous cookies which they use for analytical purposes such as to
track how many people have seen an advert. Alternatively, they may use
data from these cookies to anonymously target advertising to you on
other websites without knowing your name or contact details based on
your visit to our sites also known as Behavioural Retargeting. To help
our advertisers deliver more targeted and relevant advertising to our
users, we also occasionally serve adverts using selected third party
service providers via platform providers such as Google that target our
users based on the content they may have viewed across our website known
as Online Behavioural Advertising. These cookies are anonymous and do
not involve using personally identifiable information like your name,
email address or telephone number.
Third party cookies help us to:
- collect statistics about how our website is used so we can improve our website
- make sure you can see offers that are relevant to you
- provide specific relevant content for your preferences and interests.
Cookies by themselves can’t be used to find out the identity of any
user. Unless you choose to tell them, the third party sites will never
know who you are even if they assign your browser a cookie. You can find
more information about the third party cookies we use and the purposes
for which we use them in the table below.

Dynamic Cookies
We sell advertising space through an advertising platform and certain
third parties subscribe to the platform as buyers and may place cookies
on your computer through the ‘dynamic’ adverts placed. We do not have a
direct relationship with these third party buyers and cannot provide an
exhaustive list of possible buyers because each advert space could, on
becoming available, be filled by any buyer on the platform. Such cookies
are not, therefore, included in the list. Nonetheless, examples of such
third party buyers are:
- Rubicon
- Liverail
- Mookie
- SpotExchange
Advertising
We partner with third party advertising networks to either display or
manage advertising on our web site. Our advertising network partner uses
cookies and Web beacons to collect information about your activities on
this and other web sites to provide you targeted advertising based upon
your interests. If you wish to not have this information used to serve
you targeted adverts, you may opt-out of being served targeted adverts
by clicking here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.
Web beacons
Our web pages may also contain electronic images known as Web beacons

a third party to gather information about how you and others use our
web site. For example, we will know how many users access a specific
page and which links they clicked on. We use this aggregated information
to understand and optimize how our site is used.
Local Shared Objects - Flash Cookies
Third Parties, with whom we partner to provide certain features on our
site or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity,
use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are
different from browser cookies because of the amount of, type of, and
how data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser
