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.
