Register cookie policy
Whilst there are only a very few instances where cookies are used
on the websites run by the V8 Register, we have updated our cookie
policy to reflect changes in the law on cookies and tracking technologies
used on websites. Please read our cookie policy and information
so you understand that if you use a couple of the features on our
websites that will result in simple session cookies being set on
your computer and that your continuing to use our websites will
be your implied consent for the use of cookies during your visits
to our websites.
What cookies does the V8 Register use on its websites?
Our websites have only a few very simple session cookies to aid
essential website functions:
V8 Website at www.v8register.net
This website does not use cookies except a simple session cookie
as part of the Online V8 Shop procedure to transfer the essential
details of the buyer and the goods or service they have purchased
on our website to the secure encrypted website run by the online
payment services provider who then provide the secure card processing
and payment services for the V8 Register. Once the buyer is transferred
to the services provider's website, the V8 Register does not retain
that data and has no knowledge of any aspect of the secure payment
transaction on the service provider's website until the V8 Register
webmaster subsequently receives an automated email from the service
provider
|
confirming a payment has been made by the buyer. That
email provides details of the buyer, their postal address, email address
and contacts - of course those personal details are essential to enable
the V8 Register to deliver the goods or services bought by the buyer.
That personal data is held by the V8 Register's dataholder in accordance
with the provisions and requirements of the UK Data Protection Acts
and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from 2oth May 2018.
The purpose of that session cookie is simply to enable the online
payment transaction to happen.
V8 Bulletin Board at www.V8bb.co.uk
When a visitor selects the option to post a message on the V8BB, the
data entered on the online posting form is dropped into a simple session
cookie to store the information for the session. The data is not retained
for any subsequent use. The purpose of that session cookie is simply
to aid the message posting function.
New
EU cookie law
The new EU Cookie law is a piece of privacy legislation that was
originally adopted by all EU countries on 26th May 2011 which became
effective from 26th May 2012 and requires websites to gain consent
from visitors to store or receive any information on a computer or
any other web connected devices, for example a smartphone or tablet.
The EU Cookie law has been designed to protect online privacy of website
users by making them aware, and giving them a choice, about the |
amount
of information collected by websites.
ICO cookies guidance
Each EU member has its own approach to the law, however the basic
requirements of the directive remain the same. In the UK the Information
Commissioners Office (ICO) is responsible for ensuring that organisations
in the UK comply with the EU Cookie law and compliance with with privacy
laws.
The ICO cookies guidance, updated in May 2012, sets out the changes
to the EU Cookies law and explains the steps websites need to take
to ensure they comply. The updated guidance provides additional information
around the issue of implied consent.
