This Website Privacy Policy is designed for use on websites that gather
information about and/or from their users, using both first and third-party
cookies. First-party cookies are those which are set directly by the
website itself. Third-party cookies are set by another site, domain, or
service.
Important aspects of this document address the use of cookies and
compliance with the group of laws referred to as “Cookie Law”. This policy
can assist in compliance with the various requirements laid down by the
law. In particular, the policy explains what cookies your site uses, what
for, and why. Alternatively, if you wish to provide more detailed
information on cookies, this document can be altered to refer to a separate
Cookie Policy.
This document has also been written with the GDPR in mind, covering
important points such as details of data subjects' rights, information on
the retention of personal data (i.e. for how long it will be kept), data
subject access requests, and controls and/or consent for cookies and
related technologies.
The GDPR requires those using personal data to provide more information
about their activities. If a user of your site is required to provide
personal data under a contract or by law, this should be noted in clause 6
of the policy, along with the potential consequences of failing to provide
it. Also note that if any automated decision-making (including profiling)
is undertaken using personal data, that should also be explained, including
how decisions are made, their significance, and their consequences.
This document has now been updated with enhanced wording derived from our
GDPR Privacy Notice. Optional references to the Data Protection Act 1998
have also been removed.
Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be
read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused
options should be removed from the document.
