 3.3 Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

 3.4 We will retain your information securely stored for a reasonable period or for as long as the law requires.

4  IP ADDRESSES AND COOKIES

 4.1 We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

 4.2 A "cookie" is a small electronic file that collects information when someone visits a website. A cookie can identify the pages that are being viewed, and this can assist us to select the pages that the viewer sees. Some cookies only exist whilst viewers are online, but "persistent" cookies - which are not session-based - remain on the viewer's computer, so that he or she can be recognised as a previous visitor when he or she next visits our website. This allows us to collect information about a viewer's browsing habits whilst on the Site, and this can be useful in assisting us to monitor and improve our services.

 4.3 We do not store sensitive information such as account numbers or passwords in "persistent" cookies, and cookies in themselves, do not contain enough information to identify you. You will only acquire a personal identity in relation to your browsing habits after you have formally provided us with your personal data for the purposes outlined above.

 4.4 In addition to using cookies, we might also use web tools to collect information about your browsing activities whilst on the Site. In this respect the information that is provided is similar to the information supplied by cookies, and we use it for the same purposes.

 4.5 Any information that we acquire about you using cookies or web tools is subject to the same restrictions and conditions as any other information we collect about you.

 4.6 Some of our advertisers may also use cookies or web tools that are set by other people such as advertising agencies, or the businesses to which the advertisements in question relate. We do not have access to any information that might be collected in this way, and, if you are concerned, you should contact the advertiser for more information.

 4.7 You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/ or http://www.aboutcookies.org/. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to the Site.

 6.4 If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details will be passed to FPAs.

 6.5 Law enforcement agencies may access and use this information.

 6.6 We and other organisations may also access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when:
