5. Security

  1. We are com­mit­ted to ensur­ing that your infor­ma­tion is secure. In order to prevent unau­tho­rised access or dis­clo­sure we have put in place suit­able phys­i­cal, elec­tronic and man­age­r­ial pro­ce­dures to safe­guard and secure the infor­ma­tion we collect. The inter­net cannot be guar­an­teed to be 100 per cent secure, and there is always a risk when you submit data.

6. How we use cookies

  1. A cookie is a small file which asks per­mis­sion to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the 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.
  2. We use traffic log cookies to iden­tify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to cus­tomer needs. We only use this infor­ma­tion for sta­tis­ti­cal analy­sis purposes.
  3. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, 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.
  4. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers auto­mat­i­cally accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advan­tage of the web site.
