3. Cookies
Cookies are small amounts of information that are sent to and are stored
on your computer. They are used to identify you when you visit the
Site, and to make your use of the Site more convenient for you. Cookies
are used to remember usernames, passwords and preferences and to
deliver a faster and more personalised service. The Site may contain
advertisements created and provided by a third party. These
advertisements may place Cookies on your computer that collect
information about you and your use of the internet. John Catt does not
control the collection or use of your information by such advertisers
and this Privacy Policy does not apply to such information. If you do
not wish to have Cookies placed on your computer you can disable Cookies
on your internet browser. However, turning them off may mean that you

4. Storage and transfer of your personal data
Due to the international nature of the internet, the collection and
processing of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy
may involve transferring your personal data between countries in which
John Catt and our strategic partners are located.
John Catt shall take steps to ensure that any storage of your personal
data in or transfer of your personal data to a country or territory
outside the European Economic Area (EEA), whose laws provide for a
different standard of protection for your personal data than that
provided under English law, shall be made subject to contractual
arrangements which will require that your personal data be processed to
at least a standard compliant with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not
completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your
personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted
to the Site; any transaction is at your own risk. Once we have
received your information, we will use strict procedures and security
features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
