How we use cookies

Anonymous Visitor Statistics Cookies

We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited the Ro1 Sites, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows, which helps to identify when the Ro1 site(s) isn’t working as effectively as it should for particular technologies), how long visitors spend on the Ro1 Sites and what page(s)/section(s) they look at. This helps us to continuously improve the Ro1 Sites. These so called “analytics” programs also tell us, on an anonymous basis, how people reached the Ro1 Sites (e.g. from a search engine or a direct link).

We use Google Analytics. You can use Google’s Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on if you do not wish to participate.

It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called “spyware”. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
