How do we collect your data

If you access our website or smart button from a mobile or any other device, we may collect certain information from your device which includes your IP address, browser type, device type, general geographic location and any other technical details. We will also collect details of how you have used our website, links that were clicked and content that was of interest to you. We use this information for analytic purposes in order to improve your experience while using our website with more relevant content.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file that contains a small amount of information, which is downloaded to the browser on your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it. To protect your privacy, your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites.

When you visit a website, it will check to see if its cookie(s) are on your hard drive. Cookies do lots of different jobs like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your user experience. They are also useful as they can help companies check online traffic flow.

Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. If you choose not to receive cookies at any time, it means that certain personalised features may not be provided to you, so you may not be able to take full advantage of all the website's features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

Are cookies dangerous?

No. Cookies are small pieces of text. They are not computer programs, and they can't be executed as code. Also, they cannot be used to spread viruses, and the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer and other browsers allow users to set their own limits on the number of cookies saved on their hard drives.

Can cookies threaten a user’s privacy?

Although cookies are stored on the computer's hard drive they cannot access it - so a cookie can't read other information saved on the hard drive, or get a user's e-mail address, etc. They only contain as much information as the users themselves have disclosed to a certain website and this information is transferred to the server.

A server cannot set a cookie for a domain (website) that it is not a member of. However, users quite often find cookies in their computer files from websites that they have never visited. These cookies are usually set by companies that sell internet advertising on behalf of other websites. Therefore, it may be possible that a user’s information is passed to third party web sites without the user’s knowledge or consent, such as information on internet surfing habits. This is the most common reason for people rejecting or fearing cookies.

We will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about you. However, if you wish to restrict or block the cookies that are set on our website or indeed any other website, you can do this through your browser settings. Please see ‘How do I disable and control cookies that I don’t want?’ section on how to do this. How do we use cookies? Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and provide you with a better user experience.
