Cookies are small files that are sent from a website to a user’s computers and store the user’s information. Companies and organisations use them to help improve their websites and to make it easier for users when they visit the site again in future.
This policy outlines which type of cookies are used by the Ukrainian Institute London, and how you can control and delete cookies if you wish to do so. This policy should be read in conjunction with our privacy policy.
What type of cookies do we use on our website?
Essential cookies
Some cookies are essential so that you can move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you’ve asked for can’t be provided. These cookies don’t gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remember where you’ve been on the internet. For example, cookies keep you logged in whilst you are on our website, without cookies you might have to log in on every page you go to.
Performance cookies (for analytics)
To help us keep our website content relevant and up to date, we like to keep track of which pages and links are not only popular and performing well, but also those that aren’t, so we can make improvements. Cookies can also inform us of any errors that occur while you are browsing so that we can understand how our website is working. It’s also very useful to be able to identify trends of how people find their way through our site.
Analytics cookies are used to gather this information. The information collected is anonymous and is grouped with the information from everyone else’s cookies. We can then see the overall patterns of usage rather than any one person’s activity. Analytics cookies only record activity on the site you are on and they are only used to improve how a website works.
How to control and delete cookies
If you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by our website, or indeed any other website, you can do this through your browser settings. The help function within your browser should tell you how.
For information on how to block or delete cookies on the browser of your device you may need to refer to guidance specific to your device and its operating system. Please note, however, that it is not possible to restrict or block essential cookies.
Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact on the functionality of our website and your user experience. We recommend you leave them turned on. For example, if you block or otherwise reject cookies you will see the cookie message pop-up on every page.
