USERS OF SITES IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

Legal Basis for Data Processing: I process personal data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, as described above. My legal basis to process personal data includes processing that is: necessary for the performance of the contract between you and I (for example, to provide you with the services you request and to identify and authenticate you so you may use the Site); necessary to comply with legal requirements (for example, to comply with applicable accounting rules and to make mandatory disclosures to law enforcement); necessary for my legitimate interests (for example, to manage my relationship with you and to improve the Site); and based on consent by my customers (for example, to communicate with you about my products and services and provide you with marketing information), which may subsequently be withdrawn at any time (by using preference settings in emails or on my Sites, using this form, or emailing me as set out in the Contact section) without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

In some instances, you may be required to provide me with personal data for processing as described above, in order for me to be able to provide you to use all the features of the Site.

International transfers: My sharing your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, may involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

transferring personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;

using specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or

transferring personal data to the United States to an entity if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable law, to request a copy of relevant safeguards by contacting Me as described in the “Contact” section.

COOKIES POLICY

INFORMATION ABOUT MY USE OF COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

My Site uses cookies and other similar technologies (as described below) to distinguish you from other users of my Site. This helps me to provide you with a good experience when you browse my Site, allows me to improve the Site and provide you with tailored content and advertising. 

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that I store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.

You can find more information about the types of cookies I use and the purposes for which I use them in the table below.

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential in order to enable you to browse my Site and use its features. The information collected by these cookies relate to the operation of my Site, for example website scripting language and security tokens to maintain secure areas of my Site.

Performance / Analytics

These cookies collect anonymous information about how you use my Site, for example which pages you visit most often, whether you receive any error messages, and how you arrived at my Site. Information collected by these cookies is used only to improve your use of my Site and never to identify you. These cookies are sometimes placed by third-party providers of web traffic analysis services, such as Google Analytics.

Functionality

These cookies remember choices you make, for example the country you visit my Site from, your language and any changes you have made to text size or other parts of web pages that you can customise, in order to improve your experience of my Site and to make your visits more tailored and enjoyable. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and cannot be used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Targeting or Advertising

These cookies collect information about your browsing habits and inferred interests in order to make advertising more relevant to you. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advert, as well as to measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks. They remember the other websites that you visit and this information is shared with third-party organisations, for example advertisers.

Social Media

These cookies allow you to share what you’ve been doing on my Site with social media organisations such as Facebook and Twitter. These cookies are not within my control. Please refer to the privacy policies of these organisations for how their cookies work.

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which I have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

I may use cookies:

to collect anonymised data on users behaviour on the site. I may also capture what site a user has come from and what site they go to and also some demographic data (e.g. the user’s location) and I may use that data to analyse user behaviour across multiple sites; 

to categorise pools of users (on an anonymised basis) based on demographic and/or behavioural data and use this to, (1) target my advertising to cookie-ed users on third party websites, and (2) use that data to allow targeted third party advertising to categorised cookie-ed users either in respect of advertising placement I have bought/placed and targeted to users on behalf of third parties or in respect of advertising bought/placed by third parties and targeted to cookie pools I have "sold" to these third parties.

Some of my Sites may use Google AdSense to publish advertisements, including information about your demographics and interests. When you view or click on an advertisement a cookie will be set to help better provide advertisements that may be of interest to you on this and other websites. You may opt-out of the use of this cookie by visiting Google’s Advertising and Privacy page: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.

Most internet browsers are automatically set up to accept cookies.

Web Beacons

I, or my third party partners, may employ a software technology called web beacons (also known as web bugs, clear gifs or pixels) which helps I understand what content is effective, for example by counting the number of users who have visited these pages, and to understand usage patterns. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to let I know when content is viewed. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded on web pages, ads, and e-mail. I, or my third party partners, may tie the information gathered by web beacons to the other information I collect about you.  

In addition to disabling cookies and other tracking technologies as described above, you may opt-out of receiving targeted advertising from participating ad networks, audience segment providers, ad serving vendors, and other service providers by visiting websites operated by the Network Advertising Initiative, Digital Advertising Alliance, and European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.
