Privacy policy
We believe in protecting our users' privacy. We will not wilfully disclose information about our users to any third party without the relevant user's consent. This Privacy Policy sets out the privacy practices for the services offered on any University of Hertfordshire ('the University') owned and/or operated websites ('the Website'). Some parts of our on-line systems and services and our collaborative agreements are operated on our behalf by third-party organisations. By submitting your personal information you are consenting to the University holding it in accordance with this policy, and where necessary carrying out these services by providing the relevant information to such organisations.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time-to-time. You should check this page regularly to ensure that you are happy with any changes.
Cookies
When you visit the Website, the University may send your computer a "cookie", a small file that resides on your computer's hard drive and allows the University to determine return users of the Website and to review how a user uses a website to make it more useful by tailoring the services it offers to the way(s) in which a user accesses them. Each cookie is unique to you, and it can be read by the server or your browser software. You can set your browser not to accept cookies, although you may not be able to access all of the features on the Website, or the site may operate less efficiently.
We may also use cookies to authenticate and record your acceptance of other applicable terms and conditions and your acceptance of the handling of other information, including personal data that you may voluntarily provide from time to time.
Cookies cannot be executed as code or used to deliver a virus. Other servers cannot read them, and personal information cannot be gathered from them. They are simply an identifier shared between you and us; we do not share them with anyone. A cookie does not give the University access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share.
