<p>[/vc_custom_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]To make this site simpler, we sometimes place small data files on your computer. These are known as cookies. Most websites do this too.</p>
<p>They improve things by:</p>
<ul class="list-group">
<li>Remembering settings, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you visit a new page.</li>
<li>Remembering information you’ve given (eg your postcode) so you don’t need to keep entering it.</li>
<li>Measuring how you use the website so we can make sure it meets your needs.</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of our cookies aren’t used to identify you personally. They’re just here to make the site work better for you. Indeed, you can manage and/or delete these small files as you wish.</p>
<p>To learn more about cookies and how to manage them, visit <a title="Information about cookies" href="http://www.aboutcookies.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AboutCookies.org</a>. Or please read on to find out more about how and where we use cookies.</p>

<p>We process information that you provide to us by filling in forms on our Website, such as when you register to receive information such as a newsletter or contact us via the contact us page. If you ask to be added to the newsletter we are happy to do this (or remove you if needed). If you contact us via a form on our website this will generate an email with the information you provided. The email is sent to our ticketing system and then, if any action is required, such as a reply, we reply...that is as far as it goes.</p>
<p>Your information is not sold to a 3<span data-fontsize="12">rd</span> party to be abused, our forms require the minimum amount of information possible to have a polite and helpful conversation, we can happily get by with just your email address. If you want us to pick up the phone and give you a call, we will need the telephone number as well. A phone number can sometimes make life easier and resolve your inquiry more quickly than an email chain would.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:405}"> </span></p>
<p>We also list various email addresses on our website. These are typically generic addresses such as support or our sales email addresses, and each has their own purpose. If you send an email to us we treat it how we would want our own emails treated. It is stored in a secure manner inside our ticketing system.</p>
<p>When both parties are happy we close the ticket down. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:405}"> </span></p>
