Use of Cookies
The Homepages Online website uses "cookies" to help you personalise your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web
page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web
server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to
save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have
returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise Homepages Online
web pages, or register with Homepages Online website or services, a cookie
helps Homepages Online to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. When you return to the same Homepages Online website, the information
you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Homepages
Online features that you customised.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting
to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not
be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Homepages Online
services or websites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Homepages Online secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use
or disclosure. Homepages Online secures the personally identifiable information
you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected
from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as
a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, by Homepages Online, it
is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Homepages Online will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect
company and customer feedback. Homepages Online encourages you to periodically
