- Information about your computer and your visits to our social media pages or websites. These include information about your browser, IP address, general location—as determined from your IP address and provided by your browser—the site from which you came, and the links followed when leaving our site. This information is also collected through cookies.
- Information about how you view our content. When you conduct activities on our social media pages or website—for example, when you read content—we collect general information about your location, the device you’re using, and where you arrived on our page from.
How is the information used?
We use this information to understand your needs and provide better service. Your information will not be disclosed to any third party unless you have given your consent to such disclosure.

Understanding Cookies and Log Files
Cookies
Cookies are text files stored on your computer, but only accessible to the websites which create them. Our website may use cookies and log files for statistical analysis, to better understand user behavior, administer the site, tailor information presented to a user based on their preferences, and improve the user experience. Any information gathered by our use of cookies is compiled on an aggregate, anonymous basis.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, however, you may delete or disable cookies. Please note that you may not be able to take full advantage of a website if you disable cookies.
Social Media
If you share our content through social media, for example by liking us on Facebook, or following or tweeting about us on Twitter, those social networks will record that you have done so and may set a cookie for this purpose.
In some cases, where a page on our website includes content from a social network, such as a Twitter feed, or Facebook comments box, those services may set a cookie even where you do not click a button. As is the case for all cookies, we cannot access those set by social networks, just as those social networks cannot access cookies we set ourselves.
Log Files
Our systems automatically gather anonymous information about visitors, including IP addresses, browser type, language, and the times and dates of webpage visits. The data collected does not include personally identifiable information and is used—as described above—for statistical analysis, to understand user behavior, and to administer the site.
Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Further information about Google’s privacy policy may be obtained from http://www.google.com/privacy.html.
Security
The internet is not a secure medium. However, we take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information.
We have put various security procedures in place as set out in this policy. For example, our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary, and only authorized personnel have access to user information. Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration of data will not occur, we use our best efforts to prevent this.
Changes
We may make changes to this privacy policy from time to time. If we change our privacy policy, we will post the changes on this page. If the change in our privacy policy affects the use of your personal information, we will use our best endeavors to contact you by email to seek your consent to the use. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes.
Your acceptance of this privacy policy
If you do not agree to this privacy policy, please do not use our site. By using our site, you consent to the collection and use of information by us. Owing to the global nature of the internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to
countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. However, we have taken the steps outlined above to try to improve the security of your information. By submitting your information, you consent to these transfers.
