Cookies
What is a cookie?
Cookies consist of small portions of code that can be installed on your browser to allow a website to recognise and remember you.
When you visit the CAMRED website we may collect information from you automatically with the use of cookies.
How does CAMRED use cookies?
The CAMRED website uses third-party cookies for statistical purposes, to track how many visits our website receives, how often visitors return, and how they choose to navigate our content.
Google Analytics with anonymised IP (Google Inc.)
Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google utilises the data collected to track and examine the use of this website, to prepare reports on its activities, and share them with other Google services.
Google may use the data collected to contextualise and personalise its own advertising network.
This integration of Google Analytics anonymises your IP address. It works by shortening IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be sent to a Google server and shortened within the US.
Personal data collected: cookies and usage data. Place of processing: United States. See Google’s privacy policy and opt-out options for further information.
On this site, Google Analytics is managed through Site Kit by Google. Optional analytics cookies only run after you choose Accept on the cookie notice.
Cookie consent
The use of non-essential cookies requires your consent. The Information Commissioner’s Office states that to be valid, consent must be freely given, specific, and informed. It must involve some form of unambiguous positive action (for example choosing Accept), and you should be able to refuse or withdraw that consent.
CAMRED shows a clear, unobtrusive notice that cookies are used. You can choose Accept or Reject. Your choice is stored for one year. You can change it at any time via Cookie settings on this page or in the site footer. You can also follow the instructions below to disable cookies in your browser.
How to disable cookies
You can stop your browser from accepting cookies altogether by changing cookie settings. Often these settings are located in the “options” or “preferences” menu in your browser.
Detailed instructions for common browsers are available from the browser publishers (for example Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera help pages on cookies and site data).
Information you submit through forms
If you use our Contact or Join the network forms, we collect the details you choose to submit (typically name, email address, organisation, and message). Toolkit feedback is welcome via the Contact form.
Form submissions are emailed to the programme contact addresses (including info@mediadisability.org) and may also be stored as form submissions in WordPress so the team can respond and keep a record. We use this information only to deal with your enquiry, feedback, or network interest; not for marketing to third parties.
Joining the network does not currently publish your details on a public members directory. If a public directory is introduced later, we will update this policy and ask for clear consent before showing any personal details.
Third-party websites
When you click on some links on the CAMRED website you may navigate away from mediadisability.org to a third-party website, which is outside of CAMRED’s control.
CAMRED does not accept responsibility for third-party content that we have no control over. If third-party websites collect personal data, we cannot control how this data is processed, stored or used. We advise that you read all third-party data collection statements and privacy policies before you submit your personal information.
