We may, from time to time, run referral programmes or similar initiatives, such as a "Tell a Friend" programme, that invite you to provide us with the
contact details of someone who is known to you who may find our products or services to be of interest. We will only use those contact details for the

that re-organised entity or third party.
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to prevent fraud or cyber crime or to
protect the Site or the rights, property or personal safety of any person.
Cookies
When you interact with the Site, we try to make that experience simple and meaningful. When you visit the Site, our web server sends a cookie to your

Other cookies are used to remember you when you return to the Site and will last for longer.

enough capacity for the number of users that we get;
- customise elements of the promotional layout and/or content of the pages of the Site;
- collect anonymous statistical information about how you use the Site (including how long you spend on the Site) and where you have come to the Site
from, so that we can improve the Site and learn which parts of the Site are most popular with visitors; and
- gather information about the pages on the Site that you visit, and also other information about other websites that you visit, so as to place you in a
“market segment”. This information [is only collected by reference to the IP address that you are using, but does include information about the county
and city you are in, together with the name of your internet service provider. This information is then used to place interest-based advertisements on
the Site which it is believed will be relevant to your market segment. For more information about this type of interest based advertising, and about
