Other information collected by our website?
HCUK will gather a certain amount of anonymous information about users which does not personally
identify you, but which may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer. For example we will track how many users visit a certain page, and for how long, so we can measure
whether the site is effective. Generally this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail
the use of "Cookies" and "IP addresses".
Definition of "Cookie"
A “Cookie” is a message given to a web browser by a web server. Your web browser then
stores the message in a text file on your computer. Each time the browser requests a page
from the server, this message is sent back. A cookie's main objective is to identify users and
personalise their visit by customising web pages for them for example by welcoming them by
name next time they visit the same site. A site using cookies will usually invite you to provide
personal information such as your name, e-mail address and interests.
"Cookies"
We do not use "cookies" for collecting user information from the site.
You may be asked for personal information if you want to take advantage of our financial
services. We will use the personal information for the provision of our services and you will be
given the opportunity to opt out of marketing communications.
Transfer of Information Abroad
We will not transfer your personal information outside the EU without first obtaining your consent.
