What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique
identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in
a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your
browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site
to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually
set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your
browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of my
site will not function as effectively when viewed by the users.A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your
hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How Do I Use Information I Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse my Web site, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from
other users. In some cases, I also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for
security. Cookies, in conjunction with my Web server's log files, allow me to calculate the aggregate number of
people visiting my Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps me gather feedback to
constantly improve my Web site and better serve my clients. Cookies do not allow me to gather any personal
information about you and I do not intentionally store any personal information that your browser provided to me in
your cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet.
Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are
automatically collected by my web server as part of demographic and profile data known as traffic data so that data
(such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

I do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify
a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to
process transactions or provide services that you have requested.

online and maintain in my database by emailing me at the usual address.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of
Information?
I may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we,
in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of my legal rights. I may also disclose
account information when I have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating my Terms of Service or to protect the safety of
my users and the Public.

I are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from my Web
site or the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as
pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of my Web site.

including web sites, which have a link on my Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please

United Kingdom. The laws on holding personal data in the United Kingdom may be less stringent than the laws of
your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure
the correct use of information, I have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard and secure the information I collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out

messages. After unsubscribing I will discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as technically
feasible.

your information would be considered part of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are
transferred.
Policy Modifications
I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are made to this
privacy policy, I will email users who have given me permission to do so. I will post any changes here, so be sure
to check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, I will not
