The detail contained on this page is provided to ensure that you are fully aware of all the cookies being used to allow you to make an informed choice about your continued acceptance of them. Findlay Media (a Mark Allen Group Company) is currently examining all elements of its web operations and working on a multiple stage approach to meet the EU guidelines relating to protecting your privacy online – you should be 100% confident, when using any Findlay Media website, that protection of your privacy and personal data is of the utmost importance to Findlay Media.

On this website Findlay Media makes use of cookies to help manage the site and your visitor experience. Cookies set across Findlay’s sites, set by the company or its third party partners, can be in the form of session or persistent cookies and may use different technologies, such as JavaScript or Flash.

Please note: this is Findlay Media's current policy and the first stage of achieving privacy compliance for all visitors to Findlay websites (including opt in/out).

2. Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use a website; for example, which pages you go to most often and if you get any error messages from certain pages. These cookies don't gather information that can identify you. All the information these cookies collect is anonymous and is only used to improve how a website works. These cookies are not used to target you with online advertising.

Use of flash files

Across the website Findlay Media makes use of flash files which present information, allow integration with 3rd parties (such as You Tube), and can offer a richer online experience. Currently technology is limited in its ability to review the ‘inner workings’ of flash files. We have strived to identify any flash elements that are likely to set cookies but, right now, we cannot guarantee the status of every flash file. Adobe offers a tool to monitor, opt out and remove ‘flash cookies’. More information is available at:www.macromedia.com.
