WHAT ARE COOKIES AND HOW IS THIS RELEVANT TO CYTV?
Most brands and companies have a comprehensive web presence these days and in order for those companies to operate effectively they must know how people interact with their websites. CLASSIC YACHT TV was founded to take you on board classic yachts via video, we achieve this and we want to give you more, it is helpful for us to know what our users are most interested in.
Just like the majority of websites we use cookies – small text files on users’ computers to recognise and measure visits or to authorise other designated websites like GOOGLE ANALYTICS to recognise these users for a particular purpose.
For CYTV cookies are most helpful in aiding the development of content programmes and funding productions by allowing us to see what content is viable / interesting / most engaged with. This in turn, allows us to develop advertising revenue which allows us to pay for our productions.
Data collected is mostly, though not exclusively, anonymous, though some of it is designed to detect browsing patterns and approximate geographical location to improve user experience.
Some websites may also contain images called ‘web beacons’ (also known as ‘clear gifs’). Web beacons only collect limited information, including a cookie number, a timestamp, and a record of the page on which they are placed. Websites may also carry web beacons placed by third party advertisers. These beacons do not carry any personally identifiable information and are only used to track the effectiveness of a particular campaign (for example by counting the number of visitors).
Information collected by cookies and web beacons is not personally identifiable.
USE OF COOKIES BY CYTV
Mostly, the collection and processing of cookie data and in fact any data owned and stored by CLASSIC YACHT TV is undertaken to measure our performance, just like any other business.

This cookie data is mostly anonymous and allows for calculation of visitors, duration of time spent on the site, returning visits, new audiences etc.
Without cookies CLASSIC YACHT TV would not be able to bring you the videos it currently does.
