Our use of cookies

Many websites now use cookies to provide useful features to their visitors by providing customisable and personalised services.

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. For example, a website may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you, your preferences, or the pages you last visited.

The People Interactive Consultancy site does not use cookies and it does not require you to enable cookies to utilise our services.

Your browser software can be set to reject all cookies, or to prompt you if you would like to accept or decline a cookie from a particular site before it is set. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the Help section of the toolbar. This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, excluding this one.

Security of communications

We recognise that many people are concerned about the privacy and protection of information as it is transmitted over the Internet. You should keep in mind that the possibility exists for unauthorised individuals to intercept any email message you send over the Internet. In some cases, information can be encrypted (scrambled or encoded) to make it very difficult to read if it is intercepted during communication. Certain technology and practices allow websites to provide an increased level of security for your personal information when appropriate.

We use the following practices on our website to enhance the level of security for communication and the transmission of personal information:

• We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide
• We use e-mail forms to allow people to ask questions about our services. These are not hosted on a secure server. The possibility exists that unauthorised individuals may intercept email messages
• We are not responsible for the privacy of e-mail messages except those stored in our system

Changes in our privacy statement

If this privacy policy changes in any way, we will place an updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing this page ensures you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other parties.
