We urge and strongly recommend that all parents, guardians and teachers take an active role in the online time of the children in their care to both guide and monitor this so that children learn how to use the internet wisely for maximum benefit, avoiding anything which may be inappropriate or harmful. We will assist any child, parent, guardian or teacher in any way possible to achieve this goal.

We actively seek and promote parental/guardian involvement and approval in respect of any contact we may have with children, particularly those under the age of 13.

Cookies

Cookies are based on a two-stage process. First the cookie is stored in the user's computer without their consent or knowledge. for example, with customizable web search engines, a user selects categories of interest from the web page. The web server then creates a specific cookie, which is essentially a tagged string of text containing the user's preferences, and it transmits this cookie to the user's computer. The user's web browser, if cookie-savvy, receives the cookie and stores it in a special file called a cookie list. This happens without any notification or user consent. As a result, personal information (in this case the user's category preferences) is formatted by the web server, transmitted, and saved by the user's computer.

During the second stage, the cookie is clandestinely and automatically transferred from the user's machine to a web server. Whenever a user directs the web browser to display a certain web page from the server, the browser will, without the user's knowledge, transmit the cookie containing personal information to the web server.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to prevent that use if you so desire.
