Cookies

Since the 26th May 2011 the law regarding cookies within the EU has changed. Prior to that users were required to manage the cookies they received from websites. Now it’s up to the web site’s to inform users of cookie use and get their consent. There are some exceptions regarding cookies that are essential for the basic functioning of the web site. There is still a lot of confusion about the interpretation of this law.
 
This site uses session cookies that should be deleted automatically when your browser closes and are exempt from these regulations. We don’t pass you any third party cookies. We do not use any form of targeted advertising on the site.
We believe that we are compliant with the law as it stands and will be following developments closely and responding appropriately.

Website

In addition to providing a secure connection for members when they log in to the website we have also created all the programming code for the site in-house and don’t rely on any open source code that is available to potential hackers.
Other Data
Your IP address, which could potentially be used to track you is recorded in our server logs when you visit the site. This is normal for most web servers. Those logs are used to generate reports that allow us to look at website traffic so that we can improve our service. Logins to the member access area are recorded in a security log as are failed attempts at logging in.
