Who we share the information with and your choices
When you use this site and have not advised us to the
contrary, you are agreeing that we may use your personal
information for the purposes set out in this statement.
We may sell, distribute or lease your personal information
to third parties, unless you tell us that you do not wish this
to happen. This may include direct marketing agents.
This process may include sending personal information
outside of the European Economic Area and, if necessary, across
international borders. The data protection laws in these
countries may not be as extensive as in the European Economic
Area. However, we have taken appropriate steps to ensure the
same level of protection for the processing carried out in
these countries as within the European Economic Area.
When you provide any information on line, you should look
for the box which you can click to say that you do not want the
information to be used by anyone for direct marketing purposes.
If you have not previously objected to us using your personal
information for direct marketing purposes, you may change your
mind at any time by writing:

What if you think we have incorrect information or you
would like a copy of the information we hold about you?

we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and
managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information

web sites of interest easily. However, once you have used these
links to leave our site you should note that we do not have any
control over that other web site. Therefore, we cannot be
responsible for the protection and privacy of any information

How we use cookies
A cookie is a piece of text which asks permission to be
placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, your
browser adds that text in a small file. A cookie helps analyse
web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site.
Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an
individual. The web application can tailor its operations to
your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering
information about your preferences. For example, when you visit
an electronic store, a cookie makes it easier to shop, by
allowing you to place things into a shopping basket; the basket
itself is not the cookie, the cookie is placed on your hard
drive and keeps track of your basket versus others in use at
the same time.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being
used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and
improve our web site in order to tailor it to customer needs.
We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes
and then the data is removed from the system. Denial of a
traffic log cookie should not prevent you from using one of
these sites.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better web site,
by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which
you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer
or any information about you, other than the data you choose to
share with us. This practice is strictly in force. We know that
people have concerns about cookies, but we believe that the
benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile. You
may set your web browser (Microsoft internet explorer or
Netscape navigator) to notify you of cookie placement requests
or decline cookies completely. You can delete the files that
contain cookies - those files are stored as part of your
internet browser.
