Use of Cookies
The Canal Engineering website may use "cookies" to help 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 convenient 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 Canal Engineering pages, or register with Canal Engineering’s website or services, a cookie helps Canal Engineering to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as invoice addresses, delivery addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Canal Engineering website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Canal Engineering features that you previously 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 any interactive features of the Canal Engineering services or websites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Canal Engineering secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Canal Engineering 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, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Canal Engineering will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Canal Engineering encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Canal Engineering is protecting your information.
