The Gloucestershire Oracle Privacy Policy

The Gloucestershire Oracle will not disclose any of your personal information, including private email address, to any third party, unless required by law.

Only information which is in the public domain already, either on a website, advertisements, brochures, or information which you supply for inclusion on this site via our Submission Form, or by email, or in writing, will be published on The Gloucestershire Oracle. 

The Gloucestershire Oracle is not responsible for the websites to which links are provided and therefore does not accept any responsibility or liability for the content of those sites. 

The Gloucestershire Oracle stores several 'cookies' on your computer to help us analyse trends and which businesses are popular. In addition, third parties (including but not limited to Google Analytics and Facebook) may do the same.

By 'liking' or '+1ing' businesses or The Gloucestershire Oracle itself, you agree that your name may be accessible to The Gloucestershire Oracle administrators.

When submitting information to us using either the submission form, or the report entry feature, we log IP addresses to enable us to block spammers and to identify fake entries. These IP addresses are only stored for a limited time, and cannot personally identify you.

Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we put on your computer if you agree. These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of the website which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. This site uses different types of cookie.

We use Google Analytics, a popular web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us to analyse how users use the site. It counts the number of visitors and tells us things about their behaviour overall – such as the typical length of stay on the site or the average number of pages a user views. You can opt out of all Google Analytics tracking by installing an add-on for your browser which can be downloaded from Google. You can find out more about Google Analytics cookies here.

We may also set 'session' cookies which only last until you close your browser window, and cookies that store essential information about your visit. Session cookies are set automatically by our web server software and are necessary for this website to function correctly.

If you use social networking (Twitter, Facebook, Email), or you allow these sites on your computer, they will also set cookies which track you as an individual. These are not related to The Gloucestershire Oracle, but will appear after you've used our site.

Finally, we store a cookie to tell us if you have agreed to let us store cookies on your computer.

If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, please refer to the instructions for your file management software to locate the file or directory that stores cookies. Information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.AboutCookies.org. Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our site.
