We aim to comply with data protection legislation such as the Data Protection Act 1998 & the 2012 EU ePrivacy Directive.
What information do we collect?
You do not have to give us any personal information to use this web site. We only collect your personal data (such as your name, email address and other personal information which you may include in an email) where you ask us to provide you with information about our services. Where you provide data in these circumstances, we only use it for this purpose. We do not share, sell or transfer your information to anyone else. We will only hold your data for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it is provided.
What happens when I click a link to another site?
Our web site contains links to many other web sites. This privacy policy applies only to our site, so you should always be aware when you are moving to another site and read the privacy statement of any site which collects personal information.
What about cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web server to the web browser on your computer, which enables the web server to collect information from the browser. We use cookies in several ways to help us improve our website and the service that we provide you. These cookies cannot be used to identify an individual; they can only be used for statistical purposes, for example, in providing you with advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. If you do not know what cookies are or would like to know more about cookies please visit www.aboutcookies.org.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies mainly because they enable a better understanding of our visitors and their use of the site, which in turn enables us to generate advertising revenue. The advertising on this site pays for the site hosting & maintenance and time to develop more free resources. Without advertising there would be no Crickweb, as the saying goes "there's no such thing as a free lunch".
How do we use cookies on this website?
There are 4 types we use:
- CMS generated
It allows the website to serve up content in a more efficient manner and improves web page load times and responsiveness. It expires at the end of the browser session.
- Google Analytics
For tracking web page views, country of origin, screen size, duration of visit etc. This information helps us get an overview of how visitors use our site.
- Social network bookmarking
Enables visitors to Tweet, Like or bookmark pages on the website.
- Third party advertising
Most of the advertisements you see on the website are generated by third parties. Some of these third parties generate their own cookies to track how many people have seen a particular advertisement (or use the services of third parties to do this), and to track how many people have seen it more than once. These cookies cannot be used to identify an individual; they can only be used for statistical purposes, for example, in providing you with advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. Some of the information gleaned from third party cookies will be aggregated with other anonymous information for statistical purposes. The third party companies that generate these cookies have their own, very strict, privacy policies but we don’t have access to these cookies; other than allowing them to be served, we have no role to play in these cookies at all. If you would like more information about this practice and would like to know your options in relation to not having this information used by these companies visit the Network Advertising Initiative website.
Stopping cookies
Most browsers allow you to turn off cookies. If you want to know how to do this please look at the ‘help’ menu on your browser. However, switching off cookies may restrict your use of the website and/or delay or affect the way in which the website operates.
If you would like to disable ‘third party’ cookies generated by advertisers or providers of targeted advertising services, you can turn them off by going to the third party’s website and getting them to generate an opt out cookie that will stop any further cookies being written to your machine. But opting out of a network/data partner does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the network/data partner from whom you have opted out will no longer deliver adverts tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns.
A lot of the advertisements on the site are served by Google Doubleclick, AppNexus and Pubmatic as third- party vendors. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users on this site based on their visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie at the Google ad network privacy policy.
