We may also, from time to time, ask you for, or enable you to provide, additional information so that we can improve our service to you or increase or enhance the content and resources available to you. There will be no obligation on you to provide this information.

General information about visitors to our sites will either be collected through the information provided by your browser and through the use of a "cookie", or other information software.

Most web browsers will automatically accept cookies unless you configure them not to. Please note that this might have the effect of hindering some website functionality.

Specific personal information will be requested should you wish to register for restricted access areas of the websites. This information will be gathered using an electronic form which requires you to enter the information yourself. Some information requested on the form will be optional and some will be essential to allow the registration process to take place.

What use do we make of personal information?

We do not sell, trade or rent your information to other parties unless we have first obtained your consent. If you do give us permission, we will only share information with organisations we believe to be reputable and are involved in the development of engineering, maths, computing, enterprise and education.
