Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. At the Cotswold Cauldron we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of one of our services.
  • On our website, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

Below is our privacy policy, which incorporates these goals.

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact us.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, the Cotswold Cauldron collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. 

The Cotswold Cauldon also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our articles or forums. The Cotswold Cauldron only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to the Cotswold Cauldron website choose to interact with us in ways that require the Cotswold Cauldron to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that is gathered depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account with the website to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with the Cotswold Cauldron – by purchasing products on our webstore are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, the Cotswold Cauldron collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with us. We do not disclose personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. The Cotswold Cauldron uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of the Cotswold Cauldron website, and their website access preferences. Cotswold Cauldron visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Cotswold Cauldron website, with the drawback that certain features of our website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If the Cotswold Cauldron, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that the Cotswold Cauldron goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of the Cotswold Cauldron may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
