About Cookies

Websites are now required by a new law to ask your consent to place or retrieve files from any device you might use to browse the web.

These files, called ‘cookies’ are used by most websites in many different ways, including enabling you to login, buy things on shopping sites, and generally personalise your web experience.

They can also be used to keep track of the pages visited using your browser, the search terms entered and so on. This gives site owners important insights into the quality of their services, enabling them to improve and better meet the needs of all their visitors.

This information can also sometimes be used by some websites to present advertising and other messages relevant to your browsing history.

For example, Works by Faith Ministries uses tracking and analytic cookies to see what pages are visited the most, what search terms visitors enter into our search bar and what terms they used in a search engine to reach us. This is so that we can present more relevant, original content based on what visitors are looking for. If you are a contributor to Works by Faith Ministries, cookies are used to enable you to log in, remember your details and so on.
