Mitroca (www.mitroca.co.uk) is committed to protecting the privacy of its users and the overall integrity of the internet. To that end, we are disclosing here any issues related to privacy in the collection by Mitroca of personally identifiable information from users of Mitroca.

We have adopted a set of information management guidelines that serve as the basis for our customer and advertiser relationships. These have been developed to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003. We take note of advice published from time to time by the Information Commissioner. Accordingly, guidelines are subject to change and any such changes to our privacy policy will be posted on this page without notification.

Cookies are used on this site to assist with website navigation through tracking of your login, registration and subscription status. Cookies are also used to record whether you clicked on an affiliate link to visit the Mitroca website. If you subsequently subscribe, the affiliate will be paid a commission.

Most of the advertisements you see on Mitroca are generated by third parties. Some of these third parties generate their own cookies to track how many people have seen a particular advertisement (or use the services of third parties to do this), and to track how many people have seen it more than once. These cookies cannot be used to identify an individual; they can only be used for statistical purposes, for example, in providing you with advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. Some of the information gleaned from third party cookies will be aggregated with other anonymous information for statistical purposes. The third party companies that generate these cookies have their own, very strict, privacy policies but we don't have access to these cookies; other than allowing them to be served, we have no role to play in these cookies at all.

If you would like to disable "third party" cookies generated by advertisers or providers of targeted advertising services, you can turn them off by going to the third party's website and getting them to generate a one-time "no thanks" cookie that will stop any further cookies being served to your machine. Here are links to the two main third party advertising platforms we use, each of which have instructions on how to do this:

www.revenuescience.com/privacystatement.asp

You can also visit the trade body representing these advertising bodies for more information on how to opt out of these cookies:

If you would like to know more about cookies, or would like to disable cookies in your browser settings (i.e. refuse cookies) please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

We will not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. We may provide aggregate statistics on our customers, sales, traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.

We will provide subscribers a summary of all personal information that we process on them upon request. We will charge £10 for such requests. To make such a request, send an email to info@mitroca.co.uk and include the email address that you registered with along with your full postal address and postcode.

We are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of Web sites to which Mitroca may link.

If you register with Mitroca nearly all the information you submit will be visible and searchable, depending on the status of the user. Only your email address and any reference code you enter will not be visible to other users.
