What are ‘cookies’?
‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store details like your user preferences and allow a website to recognise you and respond appropriately when you visit again.
Which cookies does milesandpartners.com use and why?
When you visit milesandpartners.com may generate the following types of cookie:
- Anonymous analytics cookies
Every time you visit our website, an anonymous analytics cookie can tell us whether or not you have visited before. Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies, and if you don’t, we generate new ones. Using third party web analytics software we use these cookies to understand how many unique visitors we have, how many times in total they have visited our site and therefore how often, on average, each visitor has visited.

We also offer a ‘share page’ widget on some of our web pages, to allow our own content to be easily shared on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Delicious, Digg and others. When you are logged into any of these third party services, the site may set a cookie. milesandpartners.com has no control or liability over either of these types of third party cookies, so you should check the relevant third party’s cookie policy for more information.
