What are cookies

Cookies are small files which are temporarily placed onto your computer. Cookies have many benefits: for you it allows websites to gather information about your personal preferences and enables websites to give you a more personal experience as you navigate around our website and sometimes other third party websites, more on that below. For us at Cyan 7, it allows us, with your permission, to gather some (non-personal) information about the way people are using our website

As above, you don't have to allow cookies at all. Cookies are, be default, accepted by almost all web browsers such as Google Chrome and Internet Explorer to name a few, but you can amend this within your browser settings. A lot of websites, including ours, use cookies to provide a better, more personalised website experience, so if you disable your cookies in your browser, the experience probably won't be quite as good. For more information about cookies and for details on how to remove them see www.aboutcookies.org

The cookies that we use on our website only collect anonymous information in order to optimise our services and we never collect personal information.

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 visited and which ones aren't. All of this information is depersonalised and can never be tracked back to individuals.

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 see which advert from which campaign you clicked on before you submitted one of our contact forms.

All of the social sharing features on our website set their own cookies (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn shares) so that we can track social engagement.

How can you opt-out?

To opt-out of our use of cookies, you can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all aspects of our Services as described above.
