Use of cookies and other information collection technologies

Internet cookies are small strings of text placed on users’ hard drives during the data exchange that happens when a browser points to a website. Cookies allow a website to store information on a user’s machine and retrieve it later. Cookies and other information collection technologies can only store information that is explicitly provided by the user or visitor in the first place, or information the website already knows about the user, such as their IP address.

Creative³ website uses cookies for:

• identifying unique visitors to the site for statistical purposes (that is, you will be allocated a visitor number which will be held in a cookie on your computer for a fixed period, such as 30 days. This cookie will also hold your IP address).
• This cookie contains the following information that is available even if you have disabled cookies:
• internal unique ID generated by Creative³;
• your full name and email alias, which may be used for personalising the site as well as for emails sent from the site to you;

Most browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies. You can choose to adjust your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when they are being used. Sometimes, rejecting cookies results in a loss of some website functionality. Alternatively, rejecting cookies may mean that you may have to establish your identity a number of times across the Creative³ site during a visit because the server cannot recheck your identity each time you request access to a restricted area.
