Why does TiCL use cookies?

This website primarily uses cookies to give you the most relevant experience for your location.

How TiCL uses cookies

Cookies are small text files that can be used by web sites to make a user's experience more efficient.

The law states that we can store cookies on your machine if they are essential to the operation of this site but that for all others we need to inform you of their purpose and usage.

TiCL uses both essential and non-essential cookies.

Essential cookies, known as Session Cookies are temporary and are NOT stored on your computer. These cookies are essential for the functionality of the website. They are deleted the moment you log-off and navigate away from this website. We do not do use any to track individual users or to identify them.

Non-essential cookies help us to gain knowledge about how the site is used so that we can keep improving our service. They do not track or identify users. This site uses different types of such cookies.

We use Google Analytics, a popular web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us to analyse how the site is used. It counts the number of visitors and tells us things about their behaviour overall such as the typical length of stay on the site or the average number of pages a user views.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google undertakes not to associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer please refer to the instructions for your file management software to locate the file or directory that stores cookies. You can access them through some types of browser. Search in your cookie folders to find our Google Analytics cookie if you wish to delete it.

More information about cookies, including how to block them or delete them, can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/http_cookie.

Some third party cookies may be set by services that appear on our pages. They are set by the operators of that service and are not in our control. They are set by companies such as Twitter or Facebook and relate to the ability of users to share content on this site.

If you have any queries concerning your personal information or any questions on our use of the information, please contact us by email at [email protected].

What happens if I say 'no' to allowing cookies in my browser? Will the site still work?

The website will still work and you will be able to get the information you need from the site. As we develop the site and offer more sophisticated services its funtionality is likely to increasingly rely on cookies.

For example if we begin to tailor the content to your interests as expressed by your browsing behaviour this will rely on cookies. If you have declined cookies then this kind of service will not be available to you.

What is the impact for TiCL?

If you decline cookies then we will not be able to count your site usage in the statistics that we gather about use of the site.

We use Google Analytics to count the number of people who use the site and to analyse how they use it. We do this to make sure that our site is as good as it can be. This is the primary evidence we use when trying to improve what we offer our users.

If you decline cookies then your site usage won't be counted and measured in this way so we won't be able to take your actions into account when analysing data and seeking to improve our service based on that analysis.
