Our Cookie policy:

Our use of personal information may involve using cookies and other similar technologies.

A cookie is a small text file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. If you agree, the file is added, and the cookie helps analyse web traffic, or lets us know when you visit a particular page. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can then tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

Our website uses cookies, as almost all websites do, to help provide you with the best experience we can. If you continue without making any changes, we assume that you're happy to receive cookies on the website

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better service, by enabling us to monitor which web pages you find useful, and which you do not. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer (see the Help menu of your browser for details on how to do this). However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website

To learn more, including how to control cookies, please visit this address: http://www.allaboutcookies.org

How long we keep your information:

How long we keep your information varies according to the information we collect, and what it’s used for, but we only keep it as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected

Specifically, the first time you buy products or services from us, we will keep your identity validation and authentication information for 6 months

Contract-based information is only held for the duration of the contract – plus 6 months, to allow for effective closure of your account.

CVs, résumés etc are only held until a decision is made on your application – after which those from unsuccessful candidates are destroyed, and those from successful candidates are added to their personnel file.

In some cases, there are legal requirements to keep data for a longer minimum period than we would normally require (e.g. HMRC and Ofcom purposes), in which case we’ll keep it for that longer period.

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website.

Therefore, we can’t be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites, and these sites are not governed by this privacy notice.
