Cookies

To provide you with the best, tailored experience on our websites, we need to place small text files, or ‘cookies’, or your computer.

Session cookies

Most cookies that we use are ‘session’ cookies and only exist for the time that you are using our site. They perform functional tasks – such as remembering that you are logged in as you move from page to page, or to pre-load your personal details into forms to save you time.

Persistent cookies

We also track cookies anonymously so we can learn how to improve your Green Star Media experience and hone the relevance of our products and services.  This type of cookie is called a ‘persistent’ cookie.  The persistent cookies we use last for 90 days and help us to serve relevant content or advertising on a Green Star Media website page, based on pages you have previously viewed or purchases made.  They also enable us to remember you are logged in when you come back to the site, so you do not have to log in every visit.

Secure cookies

When you subscribe or buy any of our products we will use a cookie on the order pages to help make the order experience smooth and secure.  The cookie is called a ‘secure’ cookie and means any information you give us is encrypted to ensure nobody else on the internet can see the data.

Internet Protocol

We also use technology that uses Internet Protocol (IP) information exchanges during normal web activity combined with data-enhancement technology to get detailed analytics information. The data we collect is anonymous, it doesn’t provide any information that can identify you – it just allows us to see how well our websites are working.

Managing cookies

You can set your browser to reject all cookies. Please note that if you do this then certain areas of our websites will not be able to function.

Our websites use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google to gather anonymous data about how people use websites.  Google provides us with information such as the number of visits to our content and how many pages have been viewed and this helps us to decide what type of content to publish in the future.

 

 

You can opt out of having your web sessions tracked by Google at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

We also use social media share buttons on our site to make it easy for you to share content you have found interesting with your friends.  These social accounts may also use cookies to collect anonymous data.  How this information is used will depend on your privacy settings with them.

 

Cookies in our email

We also use cookies in our emails to track open rates and other performance indicators – again, so that we can continually improve the relevance and experience of our offering to you.

Notification of changes

If we update our privacy policy, we will post all changes on this page.  By continuing to use the websites we imply your agreement to any change.
