(5) Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the
browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a
page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We use session cookies on the website. We will use the session cookies to keep track of
you whilst you navigate the website. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer
when you close your browser.
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates
statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored
on users' computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create
reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google's privacy
policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just
third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking
Tools, Internet Options, Privacy, and selecting Block All Cookies using the sliding selector.
Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many
websites.
(6) Your rights
You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you.
Provision of such information may be subject to the payment of a fee (currently fixed at
GBP 10.00).
You may instruct us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes (by email or
otherwise) at any time. (In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to
our use of your personal data for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an
opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal data for marketing purposes.)
(7) Security of your personal data
We will take reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your
personal information. Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure,
and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
(8) International data transfers
Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any
of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in
accordance with this privacy policy.
Information which you provide may be transferred to countries which do not have data
protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Economic Area.
In addition, personal information that you submit for publication on the website will be
published on the internet and may be available, via the internet, around the world.
You expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.
(9) Policy amendments
We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our
website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any
changes.
(10) Third party websites
The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy
policies or practices of those websites.
