4. Cookies
4.1. Cookies are small pieces of data sent from websites like this one to your computer when you load webpages. They are stored on your hard drive. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites, and will not damage your system. A cookie can tell us when a computer that has previously visited our site returns, and what pages it requests on each of its visits. Cookies help us improve our site and keep track of how our visitors (or more accurately, their computers) use our site, including such things as the type of browser they use, the frequency of their visits and the pages that are most popular. They make it easier for you to navigate our site by keeping track of information that has already been provided by your computer so that you do not need to re-enter it. If you would still prefer not to receive any cookies, most browsers can be set to refuse cookies or to alert you when one is being sent. Please note, some parts of this site (e.g. services accessed while logged in, and all transaction/checkout facilities) may not work as intended if cookies are refused.

6. Security of private information
We would like to be able to tell you that the personal information you provide us with is absolutely safe. Unfortunately, it is impossible for anyone to be completely confident in this, as evidenced by the instances of computer security breaches often seen in the media. However we take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide us from theft, alteration or unauthorized inspection.
