Google Analytics tracking
Our Site tracks and gathers data using a third-party app by Google called Google Analytics. This stores information anonymously on Google’s servers. It gathers information such as a visitor’s country of origin, the device used, pages visited and basket value. We use these stats to identify any pinch points for our customer journeys and then use it to improve their journey through our Site. These statistics help us to identify the most common devices used to visit our Site, so we can target specific roadmap improvements for those commonly used platforms (mobile, iPad etc.). Google Analytics only reflects the code update being applied to anonymise your IP address therefore the user’s identity cannot be tracked back to their online account details.
