This page contains information about what cookies are and how we use them on our website.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of text that can be stored on your computer, phone or whatever you use to surf the Internet by the websites you visit. Cookies have many uses, which may include storing information about you. You can find out more information about cookies at AboutCookies.org and Information Commissioner: cookies.

Cookies are used to try and improve your experience on this site. They track technical data, such as a browser information, approximate location and an IP address, but are not used in a way, or combined, to identify individuals.

What do we use cookies for?

The below cookie categories may not apply to all visitors or platforms; view your cookie settings for a full list of 3rd party integrations applicable to you.

Essential cookies

Some cookies are essential to ensure the proper functioning of the site. These essential cookies are primarily used to authenticate your account when you visit and to save your preferred language.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow you to receive notifications about updates and to access support channels directly from the site.

Some of our pages may display content from external providers, such as YouTube. We block as many of these cookies as we can. But do not have control over them, and looking at that content may cause cookies being installed on your device.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies collect statistics—they track visitor behaviour, such as which pages are visited and for how long. They may also collect some technical data including browser information, approximate location and IP addresses. We only use this data internally to continue to improve the overall user experience and functioning of the site. This data may be shared between Go Vocal and Durham County Council to assess and improve engagement with projects on the site. Note that the data is anonymous and used at an aggregated level—it does not identify you personally.

Advertising

We do not use advertising cookies.
