Our Own Cookies

We use cookies to make our website work including session cookies to determine if you are logged in or not and cookies that remember your preferences.

Third Party Functionality

Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties. For example, we embed YouTube videos. We also use services like Disqus to enable commenting on our blog.

Social Website Cookies

So you can easily “Like” or share our content on websites Like Facebook and Twitter.

Analytics Cookies

We use cookies from services like Google Analytics to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (eg Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn't 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” systems also tell us if how people reached our site (eg from a search engine) and whether they have been here before; helping us to optimize our marketing spend.

Advertising Cookies

We use a number of advertising services who use cookies to track online activities and present you with relevant marketing content and advertising.

Remarketing Cookies

You may notice that sometimes after visiting a site you see increased numbers of adverts from the site you visited. This is because advertisers, including ourselves pay for these adverts. The technology to do this is made possible by cookies and as such we may place a so called “remarketing cookie” during your visit. We use these adverts to encourage you to come back to our site.

Affiliate Cookies

We use affiliate systems to reward people who promote Resource Guru to friends. The system uses cookies to track who should be rewarded.
