Use of Cookies
A cookie consists of a piece of text sent by a web server to your web browser,

web server each time your browser requests a page from the server. This enables
the web server to identify individual web browsers. It does not contain
personally identifiable information such as your name or other personal details
but may enable us to identify and profile your activities if you are logged in
to our site.
Our website(s) use cookies. We may use cookies to help you personalise your online experience. By continuing to use our website, after having been informed about the cookies, you are indicating to us that you consent to the use of cookies as set out in this policy.
As required by the UK interpretation of EU law on Cookies, we have reviewed the cookies used by our service and give advice so that you can manage the use of cookies.
Umma Media also use cookies to monitor visitor numbers and gather anonymous statistics about our website using Google Analytics. The Google Analytics cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use our website, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the website from and the pages they have viewed. We use this information to compile reports and to help us improve the site.
All of the Google Analytics data collected by Umma Media is anonymous. The data is automatically anonymised using the ‘anonymize_ip’ setting within Google Analytics which removes any personal identification based on your IP address. For more information you can read an overview of Google Analytics privacy.

How do I block cookies?
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you
to reject just third-party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse
all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting
“Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will,
however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including
this one.
If you want to manage privacy we recommend you install Ghostery which gives you
a chance to learn more about each service, it identifies on a site and block
their cookies or Scripts. It gives information on how they describe themselves,
a link to their privacy policies.
