IP ADDRESSES AND COOKIES

 

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

 

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They help us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalised service. 

 

They enable us to:

 

Estimate our audience size and usage pattern.

Store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise the Website according to your individual interests.

Speed up your searches.

Recognise you when you return to the Website.

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Websites. 

 

A pop up box will also ask whether you accept use of cookies when first visiting any of our Websites. Please note that our advertisers may also use cookies, over which we have no control - although advertising is rarely allowed on any of our Websites.

 

More about cookies

 

A cookie is a small file, typically of letters and numbers, downloaded to a device when the user accesses certain websites. Cookies allow a website to recognise a user's device.

 

Session and persistent cookies

 

Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (from when a user opens the browser window to when they exit the browser) or they can be stored for longer:

 

Session cookies - allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around a site. They could also be used for security when a user is accessing internet banking or to facilitate use of webmail. These session cookies expire after a browser session so would not be stored longer term. For this reason session cookies may sometimes be considered less privacy intrusive than persistent cookies.

 

Persistent cookies - are stored on a user's device in between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered.

 

Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering users' preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising.

 

We use a cookie to remember your cookie preferences this has a couple of consequences:

 

If you delete all your cookies you will have to update your preferences with us again.

If you use a different device, computer profile or browser you will have to tell us your preferences again.

You can control whether or not these cookies are used, but preventing them may mean we can't offer you some services, and will reduce the support we can offer you. It's also possible that preventing these cookies stops us remembering that you didn't want a specific service.

 

Targeting

 

“Targeting” cookies are linked to services provided by third parties, such as 'Like' buttons and 'Share' buttons.

Advertising is then tailored to the user, but they do not know who you are.
