Site privacy statement

Use of cookies

The BAFF website uses Google Analytics to help analyse how users use the site. This analytical tool uses 'cookies', which are text files placed on your computer, to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors' use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity for BAFF.

BAFF will not (and will not allow any third party to) use the statistical analytics tool to track or to collect any personally identifiable information of visitors to our site. We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any personally identifying information from any source as part of our use of the Google statistical analytics tool. We understand that Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Neither BAFF nor (we understand) Google will link, or seek to link, an IP address with the identity of a computer user.

BAFF occasionally uses alternative statistical analytics tools in a similar manner to Google Analytics.

Links to other sites

This privacy policy does not cover the links within this site linking to other sites. We take care over the websites we link to and review them regularly, but BAFF is not responsible for the content of those sites. The inclusion of a link to an external website should not, therefore, be interpreted as an endorsement of that site, its content, or any product or service it may provide.
