This Privacy Policy explains how Banksofengland.org ("we" "us" "our" "Banksofengland.org") collects, uses, shares and protects information obtained from users and other visitors to our website www.banksofengland.org ("the Banksofengland.org Website").
We take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy describes our privacy terms and conditions, practices and policy regarding the collection and use of information (including personally identifiable information) provided or made available to us through the Banksofengland.org Website.
All personally identifiable information will be held and used by us in accordance with this Privacy Policy and UK data protection legislation. By registering with us and using the Banksofengland.org Website, you confirm your agreement to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not register with us or use the Banksofengland.org Website or the services provided over it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Security
The security of your personally identifiable information is a priority for us. We employ security measures to protect your information both online and offline from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. Please help us to keep your information secure by keeping your password and other account details confidential.
However, despite your and our efforts, unfortunately, no security system, or system of transmitting data over the internet, can be guaranteed to be 100 per cent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect personally identifiable information that has been provided to us, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers, the means by which information is transmitted between your computer and our servers, or any information provided to us or to any third party over the Banksofengland.org Website. You provide all such information at your own risk.
If you have any concerns about the security of the transmission of your information, please download and print this Privacy Policy, and the registration form, auction bid or buy now or application for a sponsored to play place as appropriate, and send them once completed to Banksofengland.org at the address below.

Cookies
A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can recognise who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the 'lifetime' of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. The different types of cookies used on the Banksofengland.org Website may include persistent cookies which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).
Cookies help a website to arrange content to match your preferred interests more quickly. Most major websites use cookies.
 

How we Use Cookies
We use persistent cookies:
·         to help us recognise you when you return to the Banksofengland.org Website and to allow us to tailor content to match your preferred interests or to avoid showing you the same content repeatedly;
·         to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how consultants, clients and visitors use the Banksofengland.org Website and to help us improve the structure of our the Banksofengland.org Website;
·         to store Registration Information so that Registered Members are logged in automatically (instead of entering all your Registration Information) each time they visit the site, and so that the site can recognise you as a Registered Member.
We do not pass any personally identifiable information obtained by cookie use to third party advertising companies.
 

Third party cookies
Third parties may serve cookies via the Banksofengland.org Website. These may used for the following purposes:
·         to serve advertisements on the Banksofengland.org Website and track whether these advertisements are clicked on by users;
·         to control how often you are shown a particular advertisement;

Some of our web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes known as clear gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited these pages or similar tracking technologies to allow us to track how the Banksofengland.org Website is used. Web beacons collect only limited information including time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides.

Disabling or Enabling Cookies
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of the Banksofengland.org Website if cookies are disabled.
 

Managing Cookies
There are a number of ways you can manage cookies stored on your computer. If you use different computers in different locations you will need to ensure that each browser is adjusted to suit your cookie preferences.
You can easily find any cookies that have been installed in the cookie folder of your browser. For example, if you are using Microsoft Windows Explorer, you can do this by opening Windows Explorer, and searching for cookie files.
If you are not using Microsoft Windows Explorer, then you should select 'cookies' in the 'Help' function for information on where to find your cookie folder.
Before you delete any cookies on your computer, you should be aware that some cookies are used to store your privacy preferences and enable website operators to comply with them. For example, if you have told a particular website operator that you do not wish them to provide you with targeted advertising, they may have stored a cookie on your computer so that whenever you visit their website, they know not to do this. If you delete that cookie, they will no longer have a record of your request or the means to ensure that they comply with it.

These links are provided for your convenience only. If you access these sites by using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy.
