Cookies and Data Protection

Cookies the Dog

We use Cookies the dog to find discarded food lying around the office, normally found underneath desks, workstations and in and around the mouth.

Plus, because this is an internet web site, we also use another type of cookies: small pieces of information which our website stores in your browser. These remember you, and improve the overall experience for you when using our web site. We also use Google Analytics to better understand the behaviour of our users to help us improve mediamolecule.com over time. We don't do anything untoward, like capturing or selling information about you - we would never do that. However, we do know where you live and what kind of ice cream you like with your apple pie*.

We've listed all of the cookies which we use below. For more information on cookies, you can visit www.aboutcookies.org or read about them on Wikipedia.

* We don't. At all.
