We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal
information.
- What information do we collect?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:
- information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website, such as your IP address, geographical
location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views;

relating to any purchases you make of our goods or services;
- information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us;
- information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our website services, email notifications and/or newsletters;
- Cookies
We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser.
The text file 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 send a cookie which may be stored on by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We may use the information we
obtain from the cookie in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes.
We may also use that information to recognise your computer when you visit our website, and to personalise our website for
you.
Our third parties advertisers may also send and read cookies from your browser, or use web beacons to collect information
in the course of ads being served on the site.
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.
- DoubleClick DART cookies
We may also use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you
are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This
cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted
based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see
Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non personally
identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address,
telephone number, national insurance/social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can opt-out
of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx
