Always on. These make the site work and remember basic things like your choices. Nothing here tracks you, and the site can't run without them.

This is Google Analytics. It shows me how the site's used, which pages get read and where people come from, so I can make it better. It's anonymised, never used to identify you, and never for advertising. Switch it off if you'd rather I didn't count your visit.
I don't use these. They'd be for advertising or tracking you across other websites, and I don't do either. It's here for completeness, and it's off.
Nice screencast! Somebody mentioned Screenchomp in my PLN last night (perhaps it was you?) so I had a look at it. Whilst it works well, I think I prefer the alternative ShowMe for the following reasons:- ShowMe has a website from where you can view screen casts made by anyone, unless they’ve set it to private. Whilst ScreenChomp does have a website for videos, it’s hidden – you can’t go the website itself (www.screenchomp.com) unless you have a direct link to a specific video. This doesn’t allow others to randomly view other screencasts which might be interesting to them.- The quality of the video encoding on ShowMe seems to be a little higher, at least with the few examples I’ve seen- ScreenChomp is still a lab experiment, a beta really. I have a fear of using services in beta which can then be pulled leaving you in the lurch, so to speak. But then again TechSmith are a reliable brand.The only niggle I have with ShowMe is that you don’t have a download option on the website, but those with a bit of technical knowhow are well aware of workarounds for this(!)Still, these are both very good apps for demonstrations and I’ll be trying this out in class, hopefully as a way of letting students teach each other.
