Privacy Policy

London The Unfinished City is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy (together with my terms and conditions and any other documents referred to therein) sets out the basis on which any personal data I collect from you, or that you provide to me, will be processed by me. Please read the following carefully to understand my practices regarding your personal data and how I will treat it.

Information I May Collect from You

I may collect and process data about you, including:

  • Information that you provide by filling in forms via my website theunfinishedcity.co.uk. 
  • This includes information provided at the time of requesting further services. 
  • I may also ask you for information when you report a problem with my Website.
  • If you contact me, I may keep a record of that correspondence.

Details of your visits to my Website and the resources that you access.

Cookies are small text files. Many websites place cookies on your computer when you visit. 

Cookies are used to make websites work, or to make them work more efficiently, and to provide useful information to website operators. 

If you agree to receive cookies a small text file will be placed in your browser.

My Website uses the following Google Analytics cookies:

Google Analytics sets first party cookies via a piece of JavaScript code which must be added to every page that site owners want to track.

It sets four cookies automatically, and a fifth via opt-in (this relates to sharing information about your traffic with Google).

Globally and in the European Union member states Google sets the following cookies:

__utma Cookie

A persistent cookie – remains on a computer, unless it expires or the cookie cache is cleared. It tracks visitors. Metrics associated with the Google __utma cookie include: first visit (unique visit), last visit (returning visit). This also includes Days and Visits to purchase calculations which afford ecommerce websites with data intelligence around purchasing sales funnels.

__utmb Cookie & __utmc Cookie

These cookies work in tandem to calculate visit length. Google __utmb cookie demarks the exact arrival time, then Google __utmc registers the precise exit time of the user.

Because __utmb counts entrance visits, it is a session cookie, and expires at the end of the session, (when the user leaves the page). 

A timestamp of 30 minutes must pass before Google cookie __utmc expires. 

Given__utmc cannot tell if a browser or website session ends. Therefore, if no new page view is recorded in 30 minutes the cookie is expired.

This is a standard ‘grace period’ in web analytics. Ominture and WebTrends among many others follow the same procedure.

__utmz Cookie

Cookie __utmz monitors the HTTP Referrer and notes where a visitor arrived from, with the referrer siloed into type (Search engine (organic or cpc), direct, social and unaccounted). From the HTTP Referrer the __utmz Cookie also registers, what keyword generated the visit plus geolocation data.

This cookie lasts six months. In tracking terms this Cookie is perhaps the most important as it will tell you about your traffic and help with conversion information such as what source / medium / keyword to attribute for a Goal Conversion.

__utmv Cookie

Google __utmv Cookie lasts “forever”. It is a persistent cookie. It is used for segmentation, data experimentation and the __utmv works hand in hand with the __utmz cookie to improve cookie targeting capabilities.

These cookies help me analyse how my visitors use the Website. I use this information to prepare reports and improve the Website. This information is anonymous. The information includes the number of visitors to the Website, where visitors have come to the Website from and the pages they visited. 

A different cookie is used for each website, and visitors are not tracked across multiple sites. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information may then be used to evaluate visitors’ use of the Website and to compile statistical reports on Website activity for London The Unfinished City.

Many web browsers allow users to control most cookies through their browser settings. You may wish to visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of browsers. 

You will also find details on how to delete cookies from your computer as well as more general information about cookies. 

You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on in your browser, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about your website visits.
