Why does Labour website place a cookie from South Lanarkshire?
I’ve been reading the cookie policy of different websites, as you do.
The Labour Party’s one is a good example of how providing large amounts of detail can actually hinder rather than enhance understanding, as it includes a very long, detailed but not really that informative list of cookies “we could use”. It is not even a comprehensive list, because it only includes the “main” cookies, despite having 119 (!) cookies in the list.
I can see how providing so much detail is at least well intentioned, even if it results in line such as this:
Cookie name | Cookie party | Expiry | Cookie Type |
---|---|---|---|
TestCookie | 3rd party | Session | South Lanarkshire |
“South Lanarkshire”? Yes, “South Lanarkshire”.
A neat example of how providing detailed information does not always provide understanding or clarity.
S. Lanarkshire. I grew up there, it is a rough neighbourhood of coalmining and the chief town is Hamilton. Politically very labour.
