5. Cookies and Tracking
We may use a cookie file containing information that can identify the computer you re working from. Cookies make it easier for us to log you onto the Site and also enable us to monitor website traffic and personalise the content of the Site for you. You understand that you may reject the use of cookies although this may mean that certain features of the Site will no longer be available to you.
6. Content Providers, Advertisers, and Partners
We do not control the practices of content providers, sponsors, and advertisers connected with the Site and to whom you provide personal information whilst using the Site. The Site may contain links to other websites, which may not follow the same privacy policies as us. We recommend that you check any relevant privacy policies before providing your personal information to any third party.
7. Tracking software
7.1 We use website measurement software and systems to assist in tracking traffic patterns to and from the Site, aggregating anonymous information about visits to the Site, and randomly and anonymously surveying users of the Site. The system is used to collect information on our network such as the number of page views, the number of unique visitors, how long these visitors spend on the Site when they do visit, and common entry and exit points into and from the Site. Random anonymous surveys are also used to collect further information about users of the Site.
7.2 This non-personal information is aggregated by the tracking software to provide us to assist in our analysis of the Site.
7.3 All our pages are coded with a small piece of code that is transparent to you when you read that page. The software stores a cookie in your browser (if you have enabled cookies) which contains a unique identifier to allow us to track the number of unique visitors to the Site. This information is collected and aggregated by us and in no way can you be identified personally and no personal information is stored about you.
8. Third Party Ad Servers
