8.     Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. When you are on a secure page, this will be visible to you as a green lock icon which will appear at the bottom of web browsers or at the top near the URL field, and by the fact that the address for the website begins ‘https://’ rather than ‘http://’.

Whilst we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

9.     Use of 'Cookies'

Like many other websites, the Dawn Maciocia website uses cookies. ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information sent by an organisation to your computer and stored on your hard drive to allow that website to recognise you when you visit. They collect statistical data about your browsing actions and patterns, the webpages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site and do not identify you as an individual. For example, we use cookies to store your country preference. This helps us to improve our website and deliver a better more personalised service.

It is possible to switch off cookies by setting your browser preferences. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org

10.   Other device information

Whilst visiting our Sites, certain information is automatically logged about how you are using our Sites. This information includes the URL of the website which linked you to our Site, your IP address and the pages you visit whilst on our Sites. The IP address links the location of your computer on the internet. These logs enable us to prevent users who breach our terms and conditions by refusing communications from their IP address.

Some of the emails we send you may contain a ‘web beacon pixel’ which allows us to identify when you have opened the email and to verify which links and adverts contained in the email you have accessed. We use this information to determine which parts of our emails are of most interest to you. You can delete the pixel by deleting the email. If you do not wish to download the pixel to your computer or other device, you can do so by selecting to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.

We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from our website. In addition, if you linked to our website from a third party site, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of the third party site and recommend that you check the policy of that third party site.
