| 7. Cookies |
|
|
|
A cookie is a tiny
element of data that a web site can send to your browser, which may
then be stored on your hard drive, so you can be recognised when you
return. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a
cookie.
Cookies are used on this web site to monitor the traffic to the site.
They are used to count the number of visitors to each page and to
track the path each visitor takes to navigate this web site, but no
personal information about you is collected during this process.
All online services that we offer use cookies as part of the sign
in process. They are used to store a session ID that assists us to
deliver information to you as part of the relevant service. They are
not used for any other purpose on this site, nor to track your Internet

| 8. Web site
security |
|
|
|
We use high security
levels for our online services. We use security levels which are standard
for Internet banking and large scale e-commerce sites. You can check
the security level of a web page by clicking on your Internet browser's
padlock or key icon.
Encryption is the standard way of protecting your information as it
is transmitted between you and us. This involves converting the information
into an unreadable code using a "key" (and also de-coding
it using this "key"). The longer the key, the more difficult
it is for others to break the encrypted code. |

privacy and security policies and procedures will be reviewed and,
if appropriate, updated. You should therefore check this Privacy and
Security Notice every time you propose to use our website or submit
information to us. |
