Granting us permission to use cookies
If your browser settings are adjusted to accept cookies, we take this (and your continued use of our website) to mean that you are fine with this. Should you wish to remove or not use cookies from our site, you can learn how to do this below. However, doing so is likely to mean our site will not work as expected. It’s entirely up to you.
Our own cookies
We use cookies to make our website work including:
- Remembering your search settings
There is no way to prevent these cookies being set, other than by not using our site (which would be a real shame – we’ve got loads to show you!).
Third-party functions
Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties. A good example would the embedded videos. Our site includes the following which use cookies:
- Content Delivery Network (CDN) provided by 123 Reg
Disabling these cookies is likely to break the functionality offered by these third-parties. So, the amazing films we have produced might not play properly as they are hosted on the 123 Reg CDN.
Cookies from other companies and social networking websites
During your visit to the site you may notice some cookies that are not related to Apogee. This happens when you visit a page with content embedded from a third-party (like the videos referenced above). These websites may place cookies on your computer. Apogee does not control how a third-party uses their cookies. You should check their respective privacy policies for more information about their cookies if you are concerned about this.
Anonymous visitor statistics cookies
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics, such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site is not working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so-called “analytics” programs also tell us, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before. We use Google Analytics.
