Visitor information

During the course of any visit to one of our websites, the pages you see, along with a short text file called a 'cookie', are downloaded to your computer. You will always know when you are viewing a page from one of our websites, and it's address will always start with "http://www.thewebstoobig.com".

Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better online user experience and assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the website's features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse The Web's Too Big Ltd.'s websites anonymously. We only use cookies to assist with logging in procedures, and therefore the only affect that not allowing cookies from our websites will have is that users with logins will need to enter their login information each time they visit our sites.

Use and storage of your personal information

When you supply any personal information to The Web's Too Big Ltd. through our websites, we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use that information. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular webpages that let you know why we are requesting the information) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else. That is the purpose of this privacy policy - it is available at all times to allow you to see how and under what conditions we will use or pass on your information.

In general, any information you provide to the The Web's Too Big Ltd. will only be used by us and will only ever be passed on to the PR agencies and service providers that you select as part of the Request For Information process. We will NEVER pass your personal information, either specifically or in anonymous form, to any third parties other than those for which you give us permission (e.g. the PR agencies selected in the Request For Information process).

Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on our websites or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on our websites, we reserve the right to use whatever information that is available to us about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties, such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met. For users who enter their personal information as part of our Request For Information process, those details will be held on our systems for a minimum of one year from the date of entry. For customers who log in to our websites, personal details will be held for as long as you continue to be a customer of The Web's Too Big Ltd. In all cases, we will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

In any circumstance where The Web's Too Big Ltd. may want to contact you for promotional or marketing purposes, we will always provide the opportunity to specifically agree to such contact, at the time that you enter your details. If you do not provide express permission for us to contact you in such a way, we will not do so.
