Cookies

Contrary to popular belief, cookies are NOT dangerous.  They only store information available on you (ie site statistics) or that you enter.  They store this on your computer.  Only the web site that stores them can retrieve them.

They are used for a number of purposes:

1. To allow communication between web pages to facilitate the repeated use of forms and the retention of user data between such use.

2. To statistically measure the way the site is used eg number of repeat visits by a user (anonymous).

3. To record user choices, eg any favourite moves in a favourites list, and gold registration information to save the user typing it in each time: an encrypted email address and a registration key.

Email communication

Any emails sent by users as feedback or for registration will not be given to any third party and may only occasionally be used if there is any significant information that users might benefit from about this site.

Gold registration details

Registration details, ie email address and pass-key are not held on the server.  They are stored on your computer as a "cookie" in a scrambled format. Each time you visit the site, they are sent for validation.  A copy of the email you receive containing your pass-code is sent to me in case you have problems.  You email address will not be given out to ANY third party.  Any letter received by you giving address or telephone details is kept until you register and is then destroyed.

Discussion group

Information entered by users in the discussion group is naturally available to all visitors of the site.  Such information may be removed if it is deemed to be unsuitable or contravenes any law.  Regular purging of the discussions may occur when considered appropriate.
