(3) Cookies and Web Beacons

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We use both “session” cookies and “short-term” cookies on the website. We will use the session cookies for such purposes as to keep track of you whilst you navigate the website. We will use the short-term cookies for such purposes as to enable our website to recognise you when you visit.

Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Short-term cookies will remain stored on your computer for a period of 30 days.

In addition to this, we use web analytics services provided by Google, Inc ("Google") and WT EMEA Acquisition Ltd ("Webtrends").

Google and Webtrends 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 or Webtrends behalf. Google and Webtrends will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google or Webtrends.

We also work with advertising partners to serve ads that we believe are most likely to be of interest to you, based on information about your visit to this and other websites (this information is anonymous in that it does not include your name, street address, e-mail address or telephone number).
