4. First party cookies and third party cookies: what鈥檚 the difference?
First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site.听
Third party cookies, however, may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing.听

Google will set their own cookie to perform this service. The website you are visiting may also contain content embedded from other sites such as Facebook and these sites may set their own cookies.听
Any information we collect either from report downloads, competition entries, surveys and general enquiries will be kept confidential and generally we will only use your information within our company. Your information will never be sold or used in connection with anything other than what you supplied the information for.听
