Measuring website usage

We use both SiteImprove web governance and Google Analytics software to collect information about how you use stockport.gov.uk and our sub-domains.

We do this to ensure the site is meeting the needs of its users. It also helps us make improvements such as improving site search.

Both SiteImprove and Google Analytics stores information about:

  • the pages you visit on stockport.gov.uk
  • how long you spend on each stockport.gov.uk page
  • how you got to the site
  • what you click on while you’re visiting the site

SiteImprove also collects other useful information about our website such as broken links, spelling mistakes and accessibility issues. This helps us to further improve your experience on the site.

We don’t collect or store your personal information (eg your name or address) so this information can’t be used to identify who you are.
