3. Who we may share your personal information with

Agents: we use third parties to perform certain functions on our behalf including fulfilling orders, sending emails, organising and managing competitions, promotions, surveys or polls, removing repetitive information from customer lists, data analysis and processing credit card payments. They will have access to your personal information if necessary to perform their function but they cannot use it or disclose it for any other purpose, unless you have specifically given them consent to do so.

 

Aggregate Information: we may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information, such as demographics and usage statistics, with advertisers, sponsors and other organisations.

Third-Party Ad Serving Services: we may use a third-party network advertiser to serve advertisements within the website. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on the category the website falls into. Third-party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products or services you might be interested in. This website’s advertisers and/or sponsors may themselves set and access their own cookies on your device if you choose to have your cookies enabled in your browser.

 

Third Party Analytics Services: we may use the Google Analytics, Flurry or other analytics services to anonymously collect and analyse which pages of the website are viewed and for how long and which links are followed, so that we can provide more content which is of interest to you.

 

4. Maintenance and storage of information:

Your information is collected through the relevant analytics and certain information is passed on to us. We store that information on servers which are owned and maintained by or on behalf of Cotesi and its group companies. We may keep your information for a reasonable period for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

 

5. Links to other websites:

This website may contain links to other websites and we may display advertisements from third parties in our website. We may monetise some of these links through the use of third party affiliate programmes. Notwithstanding such affiliate programmes, we are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these websites or for third party advertisers, even if they use the website’s logo as part of a co-branding agreement, nor for the way in which information about their users is treated. Before submitting any personal information to such websites, you should check their privacy policy.

 

6. Security:

In accordance with our requirements under the Data Protection Act 1998, we will adopt appropriate security procedures to help prevent unauthorised access to your information. Neither Cotesi nor any of its group companies shall be liable for any attempt to hack or crack or otherwise gain access to any of your information on servers owned and maintained by or on behalf of Cotesi and its group companies.

 

7. A note for parents concerning privacy:
