Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

 

Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

 

Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the website's features. Each browser is different; so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

 

To unsubscribe

Your rights include: the right to erasure of data, to rectify data, to access data, the portability of data, to withdraw consent to processing, to object to processing and to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

 

If you receive a marketing email you will be provided with an automated way to unsubscribe.

 

Enquiries about data collection

We aim to meet the highest standards in the handling of personal information. We take any complaints we receive about this very seriously. If you wish to complain about our handling or personal information or enquire about our use of personal information collected via our website, please address your email to email@pagewhite.com.
