Cookies Policy
HADO Awareness website uses ‘transient cookies’. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer’s hard disk when you open the website. Cookies by themselves do not identify you but they do identify your web browser.
When you access the HADO Awareness website our server makes a record of your visit and logs the following information: your browser’s internet address; the date and time of your visit to the site; the pages you’ve accessed and documents downloaded; the type of browser you are using; the number of bookmarks created; the last viewed date; and the time of your visit.
The information collected by the HADO Awareness website is used for statistical purposes and system administration tasks to maintain this service.
Because the HADO Awareness website uses ‘transient cookies’ your computer does not retain the information delivered in the cookies once you close your browser. When you close your browser the transient cookie set up by HADO Awareness website is destroyed and no information is retained which could identify you or your browser next time you visit the HADO Awareness website.
HADO Awareness web pages may use third-party tools to better understand how people use the site. This makes information similar to that of routine server logs available to Google or other third-party statistics providers. The analytic reports that are produced are aggregated and do not identify individual people.
The HADO Awareness website may present content and functionality provided by third parties. The content, and any information gathered, is not controlled by HADO Awareness and users should consult the privacy policies of the third party providers.
Updates to this Policy
This Policy will be reviewed from time to time to take account of new laws and technology, changes to our operations and practices and the changing business environment.
