Cookies
Cookies are routinely used. We use ‘persistent’ and ‘non-persistent’ cookies on our Site to provide you with the best presentation of the information currently available. ‘Persistent’ cookies store text, which is available to us when you return to our Site. ‘Non-persistent’ cookies are temporary information, which is eliminated once you close your Internet browser and/or shut down your computer. Only our Site has access to the information in our cookies. This information about the user enables us to track and personalize the Site to enhance your experience.
These cookies can in no way be used by us or anyone else to get data from your hard drive, obtain your e-mail address or access sensitive information about you as an individual.
Cookies must meet strict specifications to ensure that they are not used to compromise security. If a user rejects the cookie, the user may still use our Site although we will be unable to provide the user with the personalized experience we can offer using the cookie

Security
Women’s Aid in Luton has security measures in place to provide protection against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Strong precautions are taken to protect the information of the users of our site.
Your information is encrypted and is protected utilizing the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software. While on a secure page, most web browsers will indicate the encrypted nature of your data in some readily identifiable fashion (e.g., the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becoming locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’).
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Women’s Aid in Luton cannot warrant or ensure the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
If you have any questions about the security at our Site, you can send an e-mail to info@womensaidinluton.org or telephone us at 01582 876636
