How we collect information about your visits to our website

When you visit our web pages, we will download something called a 'cookie' to your computer (see below). We may also collect information using Web Beacons (also known as clear gifs or web bugs - see below). Our cookies and Web Beacons provide us with non-personal statistical information about what you do on the website. For example: the duration of time a page was viewed, common paths taken through the site, data on screen settings and other general information. We may also collect information about what other websites you visit after ours. We use this data to improve the services on our site and to refine your experience of using our sites.

What is a Web Beacon?

Some of our Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web Beacons (sometimes known as clear gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited these pages. Web Beacons collect only limited information that includes a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web Beacon resides. These beacons do not carry any personally identifiable information and are only used to track the effectiveness of our site or particular campaigns.

You can find more information on Web Beacons, their use and your rights at www.allaboutcookies.org/web-beacons/

What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files that identify your computer (through what is known as an IP address) to our server. Whilst in some cases it may be possible, we do not use the IP address as a means of identifying you. You generally have the opportunity to set your computer to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. You can do this through your internet browser. With most browsers, this facility can be reached via the 'tools' (e.g. Internet Explorer), or 'edit', or 'task' (e.g. Netscape) menu. If you have any problems finding this area, the 'help' function within your browser will be able to provide assistance. You can also find more detailed information about cookies and how to manage them on www.allaboutcookies.org.

If you refuse a cookie it may prevent the proper operation of the site or even prevent your access to certain areas.
