The use of Cookies on the Crescent Beach website

The law in many countries now requires that any web site which uses cookies must disclose that fact and indicate the purpose of the cookies. A cookie is a collection of information stored on the hard drive of the machine which you use to access a web site on the World Wide Web. Information stored may typically include a username and the current date and time. It may include pages visited and options selected.

Cookies are normally used by websites to identify users who have previously registered or visited the site. On some sites, cookies are used to help you remember your username and password together with other personalisation settings which allow the web site to appear the way you wish. We do not require either usernames or passwords.

Cookies are normally benign and helpful. However, people do use cookies to track statistical information such as the number and frequency of visits made to a web site and the pages visited. Some people consider this an invasion of privacy, but do not consider the time and effort that the web site provider has taken to provide the information on the web pages, and then keep it current and fresh. Cookies help the web provider to do this by providing statistics on which pages are most visited (and therefore most valuable) against those which are rarely visited and either need to be revamped or removed.

We may use cookies to:

Record statistics about your visits to our web pages so that we may improve them for your use;

Store your personal preference settings for the way our web pages are presented to you;

We do not use cookies to:

Record personal information about you, with the exceptions listed above;

Track your movements from source page into or out of our web pages;

Construct mail lists for use by third parties.
