Privacy : Cookies : Responsibilities
You're privacy we take very seriously. We therefore never make your email address available to any third party, unless you specifically request us to. We do not collect any personal information about you for any purpose what so ever. Where cookies are used, this is to provide us with anonymous statistical information about how our pages are being used so that we can optimize our site for you, our users. Which enables us to measure how long a user remains on our site before moving on, but information is always anonymous. Another use of cookies is to make the use of our site more pleasant for you, for example by remembering what you have already searched for. You can always delete every cookie the Society sets in your browser, and if you do, the only consequence is that your next visit will be treated by us as if it were your first visit.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a piece of information in the form of a very small text file. It is generated by a web server, which is the computer that operates a web site. The information the cookie contains is set by the server and it can be used by that server whenever the user visits the site.
What is the purpose of cookies?
Cookies make the interaction between users and web sites faster and easier. Without cookies, it would be difficult for a web site to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping cart or to remember the user's preferences or registration details for a future visit, as examples. Our site uses cookies mainly because they save time and make the browsing experience more efficient and enjoyable and because they provide us with anonymous information about how our site is being used, so we can improve it.
Session, or transient cookies.
These are cookies that are stored in the computer's memory only during a user's browsing session and are automatically deleted from the user's computer when the browser is closed. These cookies usually store a session identifier that is not personally identifiable to users, allowing you to move from page to page without having to log-in repeatedly. Session cookies are never written on the hard drive and they do not collect any information from the user's computer. Session cookies expire at the end of the user's browser session and can also become no longer accessible after the session has been inactive for a specified length of time, usually 20 minutes. Our site sets session cookies to enable us to analyse how our pages are being used. This information is aggregated and nothing is ever associated with you individually.
Permanent, persistent, or stored cookies
These are cookies that are stored on the user's computer and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies can retain user preferences for a particular web site, allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions. One example might be a username, a cookie for which would mean the user doesn't have to put a username in every time he or she visits. Permanent cookies can be used to identify individual users, so they may be used by web sites to analyse users' surfing behaviour within the web site. These cookies can also be used to provide information about numbers of visitors, the average time spent on a particular page and generally the performance of the web site. They are usually configured to keep track of users for a prolonged period of time, in some cases many years into the future. Our use is restricted to anonymous data: we don't note any details about you personally. You can always delete permanent cookies in your browser.
