Privacy Policy
We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information
(1) What information do we collect?
- information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views);
- information relating to any interaction carried out between you and us on or in relation to this website, including information relating to any click through, content contribution, contact messages etc.

- information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our website services, Email notifications and/or newsletters;

(2) 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 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; and improve your user experience by not having to sign into the website within different sections of the website. We will use the persistent cookies to: enable our website to recognise you when you visit so that your selected mylocalstop area website is loaded automatically (of course you will have the option to change your mylocalstop area if you wish to). Session cookies may be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date. We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google's privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector). This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including the need to select your mylocalstop area everytime you visit the site and you may be automatically signed out when viewing different sections of the site during the same visit.
