What Cookies Do Crescat Digital Use?
The cookies that we use on our website only collect anonymous information in order to optimise our services. We never collect personal information.
Google Analytics: This cookie allows us to see data on things like the number of visits to our site as well as the browsing behaviour of those visitors. This sort of data allows us to see which sections of our site are most popular and which aren’t so popular. All info is depersonalised and can never be tracked back to the individuals.
Google AdWords: By using the code provided by Google AdWords we are able to better track the successes (or failures) of our advertising through the AdWords platforms. It lets us, for example, see which advert from which campaign you clicked on before you submitted one of our contact forms.
Call Tracking Metrics Call Tracking: This lets us set a dynamic telephone number for each visitor that helps us identify how you arrived at our site when you call us. It helps us when working out the effectiveness of the various advertising campaigns we might be running.
Social Shares: All of the social sharing features on our website set their own cookies (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and all AddThis shares) so that we can track social engagement.
