Our Use of Cookies and Other Information Gathering Technologies

We monitor the use of our website for customer traffic and usage patterns by the use of “session cookies”.

Cookies are text files that identify your computer to our server. Our server will automatically issue you with a cookie when you enter our site. Many sites use cookies to track traffic flows through their sites.

Our cookies only record those areas of the site that have been visited by your computer, and for how long. You do have the opportunity to set your browser to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user.

How We Protect your Information

The Internet is not a secure medium. However we have put in place various security procedures to protect your data.

We must advise that despite the measures that we take, there is no guarantee that any e-mail sent by you to us at this site will be received by Media Bounty, or that the message will remain confidential whilst in transit. You therefore accept that by acknowledging this situation that you do so at your own risk.

If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it.

Owing to the global nature of the Internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy.
