Throughout this Policy, we refer to your "personal information" which means information which identifies you as an individual or from which your identity can be reasonably ascertained. Your home address and home telephone number are examples of personal information.

We will post any changes to this Website Privacy Notice on the Website, so we encourage you to check this Website Privacy Notice from time to time.

Like many commercial websites, we may collect information which tells us about visitors to the Website but not the identity of those visitors. For example, we may collect information about the date, time and duration of visits. This information is used by us to help to administer and improve the Website.

Cookies
The Website may make use of "cookies". Cookies are small text files which are placed on your hard drive by some websites to store information. The Website may utilise cookies to remember who you are each time you visit certain parts of the Website, or to manage security. Most browsers allow you to set your own preferences about whether or not to accept cookies, or which cookies to accept. However, to enable and enjoy full usage of the Website you may need to allow cookies.
