What Are Cookies?
A
cookie is a very small text document, which often includes
an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site,
that site's computer asks your computer for permission to
store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically
designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own
cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow
it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits
a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you,
not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are
usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer
not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of
your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your
browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of
our site will not function as effectively when viewed by the
users. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your
hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
As you
visit and browse our Web site, the site uses cookies to
differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also
use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than
is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our
Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate
number of people visiting our Web site and which parts of
the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback to
constantly improve our Web site and better serve our
clients. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal
information about you and we do not intentionally store any
personal information that your browser provided to us in
your cookies.
IP Addresses
IP
addresses are used by your computer every time you are
connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that
is used by computers on the network to identify your
computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our
web server as part of demographic and profile data known as
traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you
request) can be sent to you.
Sharing and Selling Information
We do
not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that
uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or
personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is
necessary to process transactions or provide services that
you have requested.

information that we collect online and maintain in our
database by emailing us at the usual
address.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of
Information?
We may
disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in
other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law
requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We
may also disclose account information when we have reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who
may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the
safety of our users and the Public.

note that your information will be stored and processed on
our computers in the United
Kingdom. The laws on holding personal data in the

correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate
physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information we collect
