GBSS has created this privacy statement in
order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The
following discloses our information gathering and dissemination
practices for the website www.gbss.org.uk and consists
of these areas:
SHARING OF INFORMATION

CONTACTING US
Sharing of Information
We do not share your personally identifiable information
with any other entities. |
IP Address Logging
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our
server, and to administer our Web site. IP addresses are
logged to track a user's session. This gives gbss.org.uk
an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting and
when. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic
information. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable. This means that a users session will be tracked,
but the user will be anonymous.
What's an IP Address?
When you are connected to the Internet, your computer
has a unique Internet ID called an IP address.
Most people that connect through a dial-up service,
such as AOL or FreeServe, get a different IP address
each time they login. Others might have a permanently
assigned IP address, called a static IP address.
It is difficult or impossible for a web site to
collect personal information about you (i.e., your
name, email address, etc.) from your IP address
alone, though a static IP address makes this easier. |
Cookies
Temporary and time-limited 'persistent' cookies might be
used on our website from time to time. For example our font-size
changer uses a cookie to preserver your settings as you
move from page to another.
What's a Cookie?
Cookies are pieces of information that a web site stores
in your computer. Temporary cookies only last as
long as your browser is running. Persistent cookies
are stored on your hard disk (they take up very little
space). Sites often use cookies to identify repeat
visitors and offer them personalized service. |
Links to Other Sites
This site might from time to time contain links to other
sites. gbss.org.uk is not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of such Web sites.
