ICI may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

Cookies*

ICI uses Cookies in a responsible manner to help personalise your use of the Website. Cookies are used to identify you and to remember your details so you do not have to give them twice.

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies.

Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to the Website.

Use of your Information

ICI uses your personal information for three general purposes only:

  • to customise the advertising and content you see
  • to fulfil your requests for products and services; and
  • to contact you with news, for example, about specials and new products.

ICI does not use your personal information to sell, rent or loan our lists to third parties for email marketing (exception: if the business which uses the information is sold by ICI, the data would be sold along with the business). While we may sell advertising in our e-mail publications to other companies, we do not allow third parties any other use of our lists.

The data ICI collects from you is stored on its secure servers. Where ICI has given you a password which enables you to access certain parts of this Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although ICI will do its best to protect your personal data, it cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to this Website; any transmission will be at your own risk.
