WHAT IS GOOGLE
ANALYTICS AND WHY DO WE USE IT?
We use Google Analytics and
the information we retain through the use of Cookies is made up of letters and
numbers and creates a unique reference individual to each user.
A significant number of
websites across the globe use Google Analytics in order to analyse data
relating to the number of unique visitors visiting their websites on a daily
basis.
The information which Google
provides enables companies to monitor the success of the website which in turn
enhances the users’ visiting experience. We use Google analytics as it enables
us to monitor how long each user spends on each individual page, meaning that
we can observe carefully, the length of time each visitor spends on each page.
We can therefore remove any content which is not viewed and replace this
material with more helpful material therefore enhancing both the users’
visiting experience and the functionality of our website. For more information
