protection legislation.

analysis.

6. Cookies
A "cookie" is a small text file that is placed on a user's
computer hard drive by a website. There are several types of cookie
and the most common are often referred to as 'session' cookies.
These are used to keep track of information needed by a user as
they travel from page to page within a website. These cookies have
a short lifetime and expire within a few minutes of the user
leaving the site.
Other types of cookies can be used to track internet activity
after the user has left a website. These are usually sponsored by
organisations external to the website being visited and are
generally known as 'third party' cookies. These usually have a long
lifetime with several months being quite common. They are
'harvested' and 'refreshed' whenever the user visits a page where
the same or a similar cookie is being used.
4me Ventures uses benign, short lived 'session' cookies to tell
whether a website user has logged in, where to find details that
can be used to pre-fill parts of online forms and to personalise
the user's visit to the website. They are also used to anonymously
track which areas of the site are popular and which are not used;
this allows us to carefully target our website resources.
4me Ventures cookies do not analyse visits to other website or
any searches undertaken whilst on the 4me Ventures website.
Internet browsers normally accept cookies by default; however,
it is possible to set a browser to reject cookies. If this is done
it is important not to exclude the benign and useful session
cookies. Choose an option that rejects all "third party" and long
lived cookies.
7. Links to Third Party Websites
This Privacy Policy applies solely to the personal data
collected by 4me Ventures and does not apply to third party
websites.
4me Ventures is not responsible for the privacy policies of
third party websites. 4me Ventures advises users to read the
privacy policies of other websites before registering any personal
data.
8. Security
4me Ventures holds your personal data in accordance with the
security provisions of the UK data protection legislation.
If you have any questions about security please contact 4me
Ventures on 0870 890 9882.
9. Notification of Changes
4me Ventures will notify all users of any changes it makes to
its Privacy Policy. If 4me Ventures decides to change its Privacy
Policy, it will post such changes on this page so that you are
always aware of how 4me Ventures uses your personal data.
Users have the right to ask 4me Ventures, in writing, for a copy
of all the personal data held about them upon payment of a fee
("subject access request") and to request that 4me Ventures correct
any inaccuracies in that information.
