We use your IP address (Internet Protocol address such as 255.255.255.255, assigned to you by us - your ISP - while you are online) to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic information, such as what country you live in.

We may also gather data such as what particular browser you are using, such as Internet Explorer, and its version eg. 5.5

Cookies

We may use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save a password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site. The cookies will not contain specific personal information such as your credit card number or your street address.

Contact Information

If we collect contact information from you (like your name and email address), we may use it to send you information about our company and, occasionally, promotional material from some of our partners. Your contact information is also used to contact you when necessary. For example, this could involve informing you that a section of the site that you use has moved location.

If we collect demographic data from you (such as address and post code), we may use this to tailor your experience at our site, showing you content that we think you might be interested in, and displaying the content according to your preferences. This information may be shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis, but personal information is never divulged.
