Personal information is information about an identifiable individual, as defined by applicable law. By 'personal information' we mean names, addresses, email addresses, payment information, and any other personal information you voluntarily provide, for example by entering a competition, completing an online questionnaire, or giving credit card details when purchasing products from us. We also collect some personal information automatically when you browse this website, such as your IP address and details of the pages that you have visited.

  1. 5. IP Addresses

When your web browser or e-mail application requests a web page or e-mail from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This is called your computer's "IP address." (IP stands for "Internet protocol.") For most users accessing the Internet from a dial-up Internet service provider (ISP), the IP address will be different every time you log on. We receive IP addresses from all users because this information is automatically reported by your browser each time you view a web page. We do not store IP addresses in a central database. They are just recorded in log files so they are not associated with an account.

IP addresses may be used for various purposes, including to:

  • to identify a person’s country access.
  • To assist our third party service provider to manage GEO IP location, who may map IP addresses to countries.
  • Diagnose service or technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP.
  • Send the most appropriate advertising based on geographic area or information derived from your IP address. Many IP addresses are commonly associated with Internet service providers, universities, or major corporations in specific regions or localities. Aggregate information derived from IP addresses may also be reported to advertisers.
  • Estimate the total number of users visiting our websites from specific countries or regions of the world.
  • Assist third party advertisers to track effectiveness of the promotions they run on our website, visits to and business at third party's websites.
  • Help determine which users have access privileges to certain content that we host.

6. Cookies

Like many other websites, we use "cookies" to help us gather and store information about visitors to our websites.

If you do not accept the use of these cookies, please see the section below entitled ‘How do I disable/enable cookies?’ for further instructions.

A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can track unique visitors, recognise returning visitors and remember a visitor’s preferences. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org.
