Information captured about visitors to the site falls into two distinct categories, i.e.
Personal Information, such as e-mail, postal and IP addresses, telephone numbers etc, and
non-personal information from which a visitor could not be traced, such as the operating
system being used, the browser, etc.
Personal Information may be captured when a visitor orders or downloads a product
from the web site or when a visitor explicitly sends us this information through an e-mail

available to any third party without the express permission of the individual concerned.
Non-personal Information such as the visitors' operating systems, browsers, etc,

web server as part of the HTTP header. We may use this information to analyse the performance
of our web site, to obtain statistics about browser and OS usages, etc. Such information
may be made available to third parties and/or the general public in aggregate form only, from
which it is not possible to trace any individual visitor.

choose to utilise cookies for other purposes also. Where possible, we always ensure that the
Cookies we use expire immediately on exiting the web site.
