Managing Cookies

Google Analytics is a web analytics service that provides statistics and basic analytical tools for search engine optimisation (SEO) and marketing purposes. It uses “cookies” to track the web visitor’s activity for various purposes.

If you want to use cookies or tracking technology on your website, then EU GDPR law dictates how they must be used. You must ask your EU website visitors for their consent if you use any cookie or tracker that can process their personal data.

Bookassist Smart websites offer a Cookie Banner to manage user consent regarding site-based cookies.
