What happens to the information collected?

The Paul Hamlyn Foundation will not make any attempt to identify individual users or their particular browsing activities. The information above is stored and used in the aggregate only, in order to provide us with data about the general use of our site. We analyse our logfiles in order to make improvements to the site: for example if we find that some pages are rarely, or never visited, we may decide to remove or rewrite them.

What are cookies?

Cookies can be either persistent or session based. Persistent cookies are small pieces of information sent to your browser by a website that you visit. They are stored on your computer, contain an expiry date, and may be used to track your browsing behaviour upon return to the issuing web site.

When you register on a website, cookies allow the website to remember your information so you will not have to re-enter it the next time you visit. You can set your browser to refuse cookies from any website you visit.

Session cookies are short-lived, are used only during a browsing session and expire when you quit your browser. Upon closing your browser the session cookies sent by the website are destroyed and no personal information is maintained which might identify you should you visit the website at a later date.

www.phf.org.uk uses only session cookies at present. If we start to use persistent cookies, we will inform you here.

We will only collect personal information which you knowingly and willingly provide, by for example sending emails or completing online forms.
