The Publisher is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected.  This policy explains how we use the information we collect about you and the procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.  When you register on this Website we need to know your name, postal address and e-mail address.  This information allows you to enter our online competitions, access a number of exclusive promotions, plus contribute to areas such as our book reviews, message boards and free classified adverts.

When registering with the Website you have the option to “opt in” to our mailing lists. You will be asked to answer various general questions about yourself and to specify the areas in which you are interested.  This data is then used to tailor the information which we send to you to cover the topics and merchandise which we believe you might be interested in.

You can amend or remove your preferences by logging into your account, clicking on the 'Your Account' link and then click on the 'Update Your Contact Details' link.

From time to time we may also provide you with information about any special offers or features of the Website which we think may be of interest to you and for related marketing purposes. By submitting your information you consent to its use for this purpose.  If you would rather not receive this material please login to your account, click on the 'Your Account' link and then the 'Update Your Contact Details' link and uncheck the tick box at the bottom of the form which says 'Tick this box to receive our email newsletter'. 

We monitor customer traffic on an aggregate basis in order to help us develop and improve the Website for the benefit of our Readers.  Unlike some websites we do not use “cookies” to collect information about you.  In order to enhance your use of the Website we use “session cookies” which will only last for the duration of that visit to the Website.
