Cookies
A cookie is a means for your web page browser to hold a small amount
of information either in memory or on your hard disk for use during
your website visit. It is important to stress that cookies do not
damage your computer, since they cannot look into your computer
and find out information about you or read any personal material
kept on your hard drive.
There are two types of cookies - 'session' cookies and 'persistent'
cookies. Session cookies disappear after you close your browser,
whereas persistent cookies are stored for a length of time on your
hard disk after which they 'expire' automatically.
Like most other major websites, the Merseyside Network for Change
website uses cookies, some persistent, some session. However, we
use them only with our 'interactive' pages, such as form-filling
pages, when it is necessary to maintain a unique 'id' on your browser
whilst you use those pages.
Any Merseyside Network for Change cookies that are used or that
remain on your PC do not contain any record of the information you
may enter, nor any other personal information, and are only used
so that interactive sessions function correctly. No other website
can read the 'id' we store in our cookies and we do not read any
information from other websites.
Most browsers will allow you to refuse cookies on your machine.
However, you will not be able to use our interactive pages if you
do this.
If you visit other websites from links within the Merseyside Network for Change website you might encounter the use of cookies on those
sites. This is beyond the control of Merseyside Network for Change.
Security
Access to all our user information is restricted. Only employees
who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access
to personally identifiable information.
The servers on which we store personally identifiable information
are kept in a secure environment which is continually monitored
and tested.
