Cookies are pieces of information that a Web Site transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means that they cannot be used to track your movements around the web.

Please note that once we have allowed any other person to access any information under your Permission, we cannot ensure recovery or destruction of that information.
The Web Site may from time to time include chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups on which you can post information. Any information that you post in these areas becomes public information and you should always be careful when deciding to disclose your personal details as part of that information.

By way of example, this may happen if any of our web servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EU or one of our service providers is located in a country outside of the EU. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy. 12.2 If you access the Benefits of Membership while you are outside the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU in order to provide you with those services.
