(2) 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 may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the website. We
will use the session cookies to: track usage patterns of the website overall; to
improve the user experience by recognising what you have already seen and not
repeatedly showing you sign up forms etc. We will use persistent cookies to
enable our website to recognise you when you visit.
Session cookies should be deleted automatically from your computer when you
close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until
deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date, typically 90 days.
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 refuse to accept 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.) This
will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites,
including this one.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), information which you provide
may be transferred to countries which do not have data protection laws
equivalent to those in force in the EEA.

We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the
loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure (password-
and firewall- protected) servers. We do not handle financial transactions
directly ourselves, these are all dealt with via a third party such as Paypal
and so their security processes and technologies are used.
Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we
cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential.

marketing purposes.)
