to recognise you when you visit;
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, including this one.

privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.
We may use your
personal information to:
(a) administer

communications)
(h) provide
third parties with statistical information about our users – but this
information will not be used to identify any individual user;
(i) deal
with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website;
Where you submit

otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to us.
We will not
without your express consent provide your personal information to any third
parties for the purpose of direct marketing.
We may disclose information about you to any of our employees, officers,

purposes as set out in this privacy policy.
In addition, we
may disclose information about you:
(a) to the
extent that we are required to do so by law;

information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit
risk); and

are contemplating) selling.
Except as
provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third
parties.
(5) 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 Areas
(EEA).
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.

reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse

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. We will
not ask you for your password.
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.
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 £100.00).
You may
instruct us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes by
email 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.)

contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy
policies or practices of third party websites.
