2. Information
on visitors
During the course of any visit to evilhypnotist.co.uk,
the pages you see, along with cookies, are downloaded
to your computer (see point 3 for more on this). Most,
if not all, websites do this, because cookies allow
the website publisher to do useful things like find
out whether the computer (and probably its user) has
visited the site before. This is done on a repeat visit
by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there
on the last visit.
Any information that is supplied by cookies can help
us to provide you with a better service and assists
us to analyse the profile of our visitors. The information
we collect allows us to track how much activity the
site is receiving and is not used for any other purpose.

3. What is a cookie?
When you enter a site your computer will automatically
be issued with a cookie. Cookies are text files that
identify your computer to our server. Cookies in themselves
do not identify the individual user, just the computer
used. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their
site in order to track traffic flows.
Cookies themselves only record those areas of the site
that have been visited by the computer in question,
and for how long. Users have the opportunity to set
their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them
when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at
any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain
personalized services cannot then be provided to that
user.

4. Use and storage
of your personal information.
When you supply any personal information to Evil Hypnotist
Productions we have legal obligations towards you in
the way we deal with that data. We must collect the
information fairly, that is, we must explain how we
will use it (see the notices on particular webpages
that let you know why we are requesting the information)
and tell you if we want to pass the information on to
anyone else. All information is kept private and not
given for third parties (the only exception being payment
information which is handled by PayPal and not accessible
by us) without your prior written consent, unless we
are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it.
We will hold your personal information on our systems
for as long as you use the service you have requested,
and remove it in the event that the purpose has been
met. We will ensure that all personal information supplied
is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection
Act 1998.
We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such
as notifying you of improvements to the service or new
services unless you specifically agree to be contacted
for such purposes at the time you submit your information
on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically
to receive such promotional information.
