Cookies and other technologies
A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
We’ve got a super cool Cookie Policy that will tell you all about them – click here to read it.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
As is standard practice on a lot of websites today, our website(s) use “cookies” and other technology to help us understand how people use it – which parts are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. It helps us do better. We also use cookies and other technologies to make sure that our online advertising is bringing the right customers to our page content – because we don’t want anyone to reach pages that aren’t interesting to them. If, however, you’d prefer us not to store cookies, you have the power to disable cookies on your browser.
Retaining and deleting personal data
Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary. We hate clutter.
Notwithstanding the other provisions, we may retain your personal data where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.
Your Rights
You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you; provision of such information will be subject the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, we will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor or bank plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address).
We may withhold personal information that you request to the extent permitted by law.
You may instruct us at any time not to process your personal information for marketing purposes.
In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal information for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes.
