How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site.
Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
This site also places cookies for Google Analytics, which enables the behaviour of users to be analysed so that we can identify what kind of content site visitors like and don't like, and to help us provide the best user experience.
All the data we collect is anonymous and cannot be used to identify individuals. The data is used for statistical purposes only and never shows any confidential information. The data itself is only visible to staff at the Yorkshire Film Archive and teams at Google where the data is processed.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer: the ‘help’ function within your browser should tell you how. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
