By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable the Classic Guide to provide you with the services you select.

Information on Visitors

During the course of any visit to the Classic Guide, the pages you see, along with something called a cookie, are downloaded to your computer. Most Web sites do this because cookies can help the visitor to navigate through the site and they can be used to store useful information. It is also helpful for the Web site provider to track how you arrived at the site, for example by clicking on a link found with a search engine like Google. Cookies can also be retained on your computer and the information read by the Web site provider when you return to the site at a later date.

The only cookies used by the Classic Guide are the source of any page you used to access our site, any keyword associated with that source, and the items you add to your itinerary

When you request a page on the Classic Guide you send certain information in accordance with the HTTP protocol to our web server so that it knows where to send the data requested. This data includes the IP Address allotted to your computer. This data is saved and analysed to provide useful information on the amount of traffic to the Web site and the efficiency with which it is handled by our server. We do not routinely use the IP Address for any purpose but we retain the right to do so to track down any malicious traffic designed to interfere with our servers (eg viruses).

Managing Cookies

A cookie is a small text file held on your computer and most browsers provide the facility to view and delete them. You can also elect to be warned when a cookie is being created and even decline to accept cookies. We would recommend that you leave cookies enabled, which is the default setting, as they are completely harmless and many Web sites will fail to operate correctly without them. During the course of any visit to the Classic Guide Web site one or more small files (called cookies) may be downloaded to your computer that can be used to identify your browser between visits and store data used to provided ‘remember me’ functionality when logging in to the site. Should you choose to create an itinerary of attractions, a cookie is used to remember this list for future visits.

Use and Storage of Personal Information

If you supply any personal information to the Classic Guide we have legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with that data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it and tell you if we want to pass it on to anyone else.

In general, any personal information you provide to the Classic Guide will only be used by us. It will never be supplied to anyone else without first obtaining your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it. Also, if you post or send offensive or inappropriate content anywhere on or to the Classic Guide, or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on the Classic Guide, and we consider such behaviour to be serious and/or repeated, we can use any information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour.

This may include informing relevant third parties, such as your employer, school or service provider about the content and your behaviour. The data you provide will be used only by the Classic Guide to send you information you request. If you provide us with personal information such as an email address, we may occasionally send you emails to inform you about new activities or other items which may interest you, but they will all feature the ability to unsubscribe.

We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
