This free WordPress site also comes complete with stats which will set a cookie to determine unique clicks. This will show the difference between one person visiting your site five times, and five people visiting your site once. It allows you to determine whether your site has been browsed by one user, or multiple users, and which posts are most popular. As a part of these stats it also tells us which country the visitor was from.
Third party cookies
As a part of the Terms of Service for this free WordPress blog “Automattic reserves the right to display advertisements on your blog unless you have purchased an Ad-free Upgrade or a VIP Services account.” Site Eagle is not serving these adverts, and therefore do not know what cookies they use. If you would like more information about these adverts if they appear then click “about these ads”.*
*As part of a cookie audit on this site it revealed that the ads may in fact be served by Double Click and Google Adsense. Here is some specific information about the cookies used by Google, and how you can opt out http://www.google.co.uk/policies/technologies/ads/ – this is a result of an audit on a specific day, when one advert appeared. I would still recommend that you click “about these ads” if you see an ad appear during your visit – as I have already said, I am not serving these ads and have not control over if and when they appear.
