 Your rights

In this section, we have summarised your rights under data protection law.  Some rights are complex, applying only in certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions. To keep this policy concise, not all of the details have been included in our summaries.  Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities to explain these rights fully. 

You have the right:

  • To object to us processing your personal information for marketing purposes. If you object, we will stop processing your personal information for this purpose. When we collect your data, you can choose whether you wish to receive marketing communications from us. If you want to stop receiving marketing communications, you can opt-out by clicking an ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of one of our emails.

About cookies

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which is stored by the browser and remains valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A session cookie, on the other hand, expires at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed.

We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on this website.
