Privacy Policy & Cookies
When Sporting Assets provides services, our aim is to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device. For example, computer, mobile device or tablet. These include small files known as cookies.
Cookies cannot be used to identify you personally.
These small files known as cookies are used to improve services for you.
For example:
- Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task
- Recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested
- Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast
- Analysing anonymised data to help us understand how people interact with the website and compile a record of this usage information. This helps us to improve and develop the way the website works, for example, by determining whether website visitors can find information easily.
