1. Cookies
Cookies are small files that allow us to give you a unique ID when you visit our site. This allows us to store and retrieve information used to give you access to more advanced features of the website. For example, if you were purchasing something from our site then we would use your ID to keep track of the items that you wanted to purchase. After a period of inactivity on our site (usually around 30 minutes) any information stored as part of your cookie is deleted.
You can ask your browser not to accept cookies, however if you turn off the ability to accept cookies then you may not be able to use certain areas of our website.
2. Log files
When a user visits a website the server logs information about the visit. The information that is logged is the same information that is sent by your browser any time you request a file from the internet, which is usually: your IP address, browser name and version, and the page that you requested. There is no information sent by your browser (other than any forms you may manually fill in) that could ever be used to personally identify you.
The log files then allow us to see how many people are using the site, and which pages are the most popular. This can then be used to improve the site for your next visit.
If this privacy policy changes in any way, we will place an updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing this page ensures you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other parties.
