Visitors to our website and how we use Cookies

Use of Cookies by Londonwide LMCs

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or smart phone when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as storing some information about your preferences or past actions.

We use Matomo and Hotjar to monitor use of the site and improve it for the future. We do not use Google Analytics. No personal data about users is retrieved or stored.

Matomo

What is it?

Matomo is a complete, ethical analytics tool that:

  • Offers 100% data ownership and data protection
  • Respects user privacy
  • Gives you control over what you do with your own data
  • Complies with GDPR and EU data law

How does Matomo work?

Matomo is an application that does mainly two things:

  • collect and store analytics data
  • provide reports of the stored data

To achieve that result, several parts of Matomo come into play:

  • the JavaScript tracker is served by Matomo via HTTP so that websites can include it in their pages
  • the tracker collects data on the web page it’s included in and sends it to Matomo by calling the HTTP tracking API
  • the archiving task runs and pre-processes data
  • data is exposed in reports, which are accessible through the web interface or the HTTP reporting API
