Privacy Policy

This document is the privacy policy for NUFCBlog.org and it explains how we collect data and what we do with it.

Simplified

We may collect data in connection with your visit to this site. Such data may contain your IP address along with any other details you choose to provide in things like comments or as part of your registration to this site. Much of the data is collected so that we can analyse things like how many visits a particular page gets, which in turn helps us to improve the experience of people who visit this site.

We may also save data that you send directly to us, such as your name, address, email etc. and, if we do save it, it’s always saved securely.

We never save financial details such as credit card or bank account numbers.

We never give your data to anyone else unless you allow us to or we’re ordered to do so by a court and, so far, that’s never happened.

That’s all you need to know really. The rest is for the lawyers (although we’re legally obliged to ask you to read it).

Detailed

What Information Do We Collect?

We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:

information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views, website navigation and other non-personal information,
information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us,
any other information that you choose to send to us either via the contact form, email or comments in ‘blog posts.

Cookies

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the website. We will use the session cookies to keep track of you whilst you navigate the website. We will use the persistent cookies to enable our website to recognise you when you visit.

Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted or until they reach a specified expiry date.

Our advertisers and other third parties may also send you cookies.

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking Tools -> Internet Options -> Privacy and selecting “Block all cookies”. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.
