Customized Experience with ‘Cookies’
We
use technology to help us deliver customized visitor experiences. A
“cookie” is a tiny piece of text asking permission to be placed on your
computer's hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the text in
a small file. At The Imaging Clinic, we primarily use "cookies" to
help us determine which service and support information is appropriate
to your computer and to enhance your experience on our website. Our use
of this technology does not mean that we automatically know any
information about you such as home or e-mail address, telephone numbers
or credit card details. It only tells us that a previous
imagingclinic.co.uk customer has returned. We might be able to
ascertain some limited characteristics about you, such as what type of
computer you are using, but beyond that, our use of cookies is designed
only to provide you with a better experience when using www.theimagingclinic.co.uk.
The Imaging Clinic has no desire or intent to infringe on your privacy
while using the theimagingclinic.co.uk site and you usually have the
ability to adjust your web browser to reject cookies.
Web Beacons
We,
or third parties acting on our behalf, may use web beacons on our site,
in our e-mails, in our advertisements on other sites, or in our
advertisements in others' e-mails. A web beacon is an electronic image
that can be used to recognize a cookie on your computer when you view a
web page or e-mail. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of
our site and our advertising in various ways, for example, by counting
the number of individuals who visit our site from a particular
advertisement or make a purchase from our site after viewing a
particular advertisement as well as by telling us when a web page is
viewed and providing a description of the page where the web beacon is
placed. Web beacons also help us measure the effectiveness of our
e-mail campaigns, for example, by counting the number of individuals
who open or act upon an e-mail message, determining when an e-mail
message is opened and determining how many times an e-mail is forwarded.
The
information we collect may include some limited personal information,
and web beacons allow us to recognize users by accessing The Imaging
Clinic cookies. We may also combine the information that we collect
through web beacons with other personal information we have collected
from you. We use all of this information to better tailor our marketing
to you and may use this information for other purposes, such as to
enable a shopping cart, customize content on our website and internal
research purposes.
We do not allow third parties to place their
own web beacons on our site or in our advertisements. We will not share
any personal information collected through web beacons with any third
party, except for service providers who act on our behalf and who are
contractually prohibited from any other use or disclosure of the
information.
You can make some web beacons unusable by rejecting cookies.
Third-Party Sites
Please
be aware that other Web sites including sites that may be accessed
through our site, e.g., via a hyperlink, may collect personally
identifiable information about you. This Privacy Policy does not cover
the information practices of those third-party web sites linked to www.theimagingclinic.co.uk or any other site. We use the symbol to mark links to third-party sites.
