4. Cookies
4.1 When you first visit the sponsorshipnews.com website, we may send you a cookie. A cookie is a small file that can be placed on your computer's hard drive for record keeping purposes, and we may use them to do a number of things. For example:
4.1.1 Cookies help us to recognise you when you next visit the sponsorshipnews.com website and note the pages you visit. This allows us to tailor the service we provide to your preferences.
4.1.2 Cookies may be used to compile anonymous statistics related to the take-up or use of services, or to patterns of browsing. When used in this manner, you are not individually identified, and information collected in this manner is only used in aggregate and non-attributably.

When you access any other website, you understand that it is independent from the sponsorshipnews.com website and that we have no control over the content or availability of that website. In particular, you agree that any dealings you have with such third party site operators shall be on the terms and conditions (if any) of the third party operator.
1. In addition, a link to any other web site does not mean that the Partnership endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content, or the use, of such a website and shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.

We may assign or subcontract any or all of our rights and obligations under these Terms (subject to adequate protection of your rights). We may alter these Terms from time to time and post the new version on the sponsorshipnews.com website, following which all use of the Partnership's website will be governed by that updated version. If any provision of the Terms shall become or be declared illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such provision shall be divisible and deemed deleted from them. These Terms and your use of the sponsorshipnews.com website are governed by the laws of England and Wales and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
Charterhouse Business Publications' Commitment to Privacy
Charterhouse Business Publications is fully committed to upholding its Privacy Policy. Providing the Partnership with your personal information is an act of trust; an act that is taken very seriously in the way that Charterhouse Business Publications operates. The sponsorshipnews.com website will outline details on how information is collected and used. Information is also provided on how to change or de-activate your data.
Method of Collecting Information
'Cookies' may be used to gather statistical information that will assist in understanding what users find interesting and useful on our website. These cookies are known as your 'Unique Visitor Cookie', a small piece of data, identifying you only by random number (e.g. 301652). No personal information can be identified about the user through cookies. This numerical data is sent to your browser from a web server and then stored onto your computer's hard drive. Through modification of browser preferences, a user can elect to accept all cookies, receive notification when a cookie is set or decline all cookies. Alterations to these settings may, however, affect the functionality of the sponsorshipnews.com website.
Type of Information Collected
When visiting the sponsorshipnews.com website, general information that will not personally identify you may be collected. Types of information include data about pages visited, duration of page view, location previous to accessing the sponsorshipnews.com website, navigational habits of users along with details on browser (including Internet Protocol 'IP' addresses or browser configurations) and operating systems. This information alone does not identify an individual and will not be combined with information that can trace back to a specific individual. Instead, it provides statistics that are used to analyse and improve the motorsportmatch.com website. Through this 'Aggregate Statistical Data', insight and a greater understanding of how people respond to the sponsorshipnews.com website can be gained whilst concealing all personally identifiable or sensitive data.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information is defined as any personal information that could identify you such as your name, address, telephone number, billing and shipping information, credit card information or e-mail address.
Since sponsorshipnews.com takes your privacy seriously, no personally identifiable information will be collected unless it is voluntarily provided.
Access to Information
sponsorshipnews.com will not sell or provide any personal details in its possession to a mailing list. Personal information may be shared with third party suppliers and service providers including independent contractors providing services for or with sponsorshipnews.com. In all cases, these third parties are contractually required to keep that information confidential. They are not authorised by sponsorshipnews.com to use that information for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for or with sponsorshipnews.com. Information may be disclosed to third parties if consent is received, if we are compelled or authorised to do so by Law, or if there is a reasonable belief that there is a threat to someone's life or health.
Security and Storage of Information Collected
sponsorshipnews.com is committed to maintaining the security of data collected and protecting it from loss, misuse or alteration. This applies to demographic information, client site usage information and personally identifiable information. Data collected is stored on secure servers. To safeguard all information collected, sponsorshipnews.com follows the practices in this Policy. Access or use of information for any purpose other than those explained in this Policy will not be authorised.
Changing and De-activating Your information
If you would like to change or de-activate any personally identifiable information you have submitted to sponsorshipnews.com, please do so on-line or send a request to: info@sponsorshipnews.com. As soon as your request is received, sponsorshipnews.com will change or de-activate any information that could be used to identify you unless disclosure is required or authorised by Law. Once de-activated, your data will no longer be accessible. However, due to limitations imposed by system backups to magnetic media including the off-site secure storage of data, data can (in some circumstances) remain on these tapes. In the unlikely event that one of these tapes is accessed as part of a larger recovery of sponsorshipnews.com data, your data would continue to be flagged and remain de-activated and inaccessible for use by sponsorshipnews.com staff.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
To fully protect your privacy, sponsorshipnews.com reserves the right to amend this Policy at any time and for any reason. Amended terms will be posted via the sponsorshipnews.com website as they occur and you are encouraged to check back frequently for updates. This privacy policy was last amended on 23 February 2006.
No Contract or Liability
Nothing contained in this Policy is intended to create a contract or agreement between Charterhouse Business Publications and any user providing identifiable information in any form, when visiting the sponsorshipnews.com website. All necessary steps will be taken to comply with this Privacy Policy, but to the extent permitted by Law, nothing in this policy is intended to hold Charterhouse Business Publications liable for any failure to comply with this policy. Charterhouse Business Publications makes no representations whatsoever about any other sites which you may access through the sponsorshipnews.com website or which may link to the sponsorshipnews.com website. When you access any other website you understand that it is independent from the sponsorshipnews.com website and that we have no control over the content or availability of that website. In particular, you agree that any dealings you have with such third party site operators shall be on the terms and conditions (if any) of the third party operator. In addition, a link to any other website does not mean that the Partnership endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content, or the use, of such a website and shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.
