for you. However, some services may not be available to you if you choose not
to provide it.

A cookie is a small file that resides on your computer and is recognised by our
server when you visit our sites. A cookie does not provide us with any
personally-identifiable information. It provides us with details such as your
IP address and the last country you visited on our site. These are the only uses
we make of cookies. However, it is helpful for us to have this information, to be
able to offer you better service on our site.
If you would rather we did not use cookies with you, you can refuse them by
turning them off in your browser and/or deleting them from your hard drive. You

This Privacy Policy only relates to our site. You should be aware that we are not
responsible for the practices of our advertisers or business partners. Our site
may contain links to other sites. You should check their privacy policies
before providing personally-identifiable information to them or any other third
party.

You will always have the option to opt in to certain services and to opt out of
those services at any stage. This means you may change your mind at any stage

In order to reflect the fact that our business is growing constantly, we reserve
the right to change this policy at any time. We will notify site users of any
changes to the Privacy Policy.
