Cookie Policy
At Rhodiandmc.com, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use your personal data. For this reason, this cookie policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website.
We use cookies to ensure everyone who uses our website has the best possible experience. Cookies also help us keep your data safe. By continuing to visit or use our website, you are agreeing to the use of cookies for the purposes we describe herein.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file which is sent to and stored on your device (mobile phone, computer, or tablet) when you first visit our website or its web pages. Some of the cookies are necessary to enable you to use the site’s full functionality, while others are used in order to improve your user experience and facilitate navigation on the site.
Types of cookies
There are certain types of cookies:
- Cookies can be classified as either ‘essential’ or ‘non-essential’.
Essential cookies: these are cookies that are either:
- used solely to carry out or facilitate the transmission of communications over a network; or
- strictly necessary to provide an online service (e.g. our website or a service on our website) which you have requested.
Non-essential cookies: these are any cookies that do not fall within the definition of essential cookies, such as cookies used to analyze your behavior on a website (‘analytical’ cookies) or cookies used to display advertisements to you (‘advertising’ cookies).
2. Cookies can be classified as either ‘session’ or ‘persistent’, depending on how long they last after they are placed on your browser.
Session cookies: session cookies last for as long as you keep your browser open. They expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: persistent cookies expire at a fixed point in time or if you manually delete them from your browser, whichever occurs first.
3. Cookies can be classified as ‘first party’ or ‘third party’.
First-party cookies: these are cookies placed on your device by our website domain.
Third-party cookies: these are cookies placed on your device by third-party website domains. When you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Facebook, these third-party service providers may set their own cookies on your device. Please check the third-party websites for more information about these cookies.
What kind of cookies do we use?
On our website, we do not use any of the above-mentioned cookies.
However, we use Google Analytics.
Google Analytics is a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how users interact with website content. As a user navigates between web pages, Google Analytics provides website owners JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has seen, for example, the URL of the page. The Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP Cookies to “remember” what a user has done on previous pages/interactions with the website.
Google Analytics supports three JavaScript libraries (tags) for measuring website usage: gtag.js, analytics.js, and ga.js. The following sections describe how each uses cookies.
The analytics.js JavaScript library is part of Universal Analytics and uses first-party cookies to:
- Distinguish unique users
- Throttle the request rate
On our website you can find the following cookies:

Controlling cookies
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings.
Turning off and deleting cookies
All web browsers allow you to limit cookie behavior or turn off cookies within the settings or options of the browser. The steps to do this are different for each browser, you can find instructions under the Help menu of your browser.
Through your browser, you can also view the cookies that are on your computer, and delete individual ones, or purge them all.
Cookies are just text files so you can open them and read the contents. The data within them is often encrypted, or a numerical key corresponding to a web session so they often don’t make sense to anything other than the website that wrote it.
If you use different devices to view and access our Website (e.g. your computer, smartphone, tablet etc) you will need to ensure that each browser on each device is adjusted to suit your cookie preferences.
Disabling cookies will also affect the monitoring of your progress through the site, but will not stop the analytics code from recognizing your visit.
To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit wikipedia.org, www.allaboutcookies.org, or www.aboutcookies.org.
