We also use the information for in-house research to:

3. Cookies

A cookie is a small file, which is placed on the user’s hard drive during an www.global-britain.com visit. This file allows the user to move quickly and easily around our site. It is used to identify returning users and to identify subscribers and registrants (a registrant – and subscriber – will have the cookie linked to their e-mail address as a way of identifying them). This means that if you are a registrant or subscriber, you will not have to login each time you visit. We also use a cookie to track a user’s sessions. We use this information to find out what site features are most popular, so we can develop www.global-britain.com in the light of our analysis of people’s usage. We also use cookies and the information we collect to show you relevant content and advertising.

You can delete cookies from your hard drive at any time. Bear in mind, though, that if you delete these cookies, any settings such as your stored username and password will have to be reset when you log in again.

Unlike many sites, you will be able to use www.global-britain.com even if you set your browser not to accept any cookies. However, certain features and content may not be available to you and you will have to log in every time you visit.

4. Emails

www.global-britain.com may use reputable third parties to deliver the e-mails you will receive from our site if you subscribe to our e-mail newsletters or have chosen to receive information about www.global-britain.com products and offers. These third parties use unique identifiers and invisible images (often called “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) to perform message open sensing, message format sensing and click through sensing on behalf of www.global-britain.com in order to bring you more relevant information.

5. Advertisements

www.global-britain.com sells advertising on its site. These advertisements are from third party suppliers and we are not in any way responsible for their products or services. If you believe that any advertisement is unsuitable please contact us to inform us of the advertisement and the reason.

6. Security policy

www.global-britain.com has appropriate measures in place to ensure that users’ personal details are not misused, accidentally destroyed, lost or altered. Occasions will arise when customer information is passed outside the company to other data processors (i.e. fulfilment bureaus, database consultants etc.) but they will only act upon instruction from Financial Market Intelligence Limited in order to perform the services required.

7. Transfer of personal data overseas

Given that the internet is a global environment, using the internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on a publishing basis. Therefore, by browsing www.global-britain.com and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal data in this way.

8. Updating customer details

It is important to us that we have your correct contact information so that you don’t miss out on further correspondence or experience problems with the delivery of products.

9. Changes to this statement

Due to changes in legislation and best practice or enhancements to functionality and content on www.global-britain.com we may make changes to our privacy policy and will reflect those changes in this statement, so you should check back here from time to time.
