However, you acknowledge that by accessing the Internet Sites information may be collected from you as a result of the workings of the Internet Sites and the attached systems and software.

7. FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM

BLIS’s Facebook and Instagram pages are set to the “everyone” setting in accordance with Facebook and Instagram’s terms and conditions.

9. COOKIES

BLIS may also place cookies on your computer. Cookies are alpha numeric identifiers which are transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser to enable BLIS to recognise you whenever you access the Internet Sites and therefore better personalise your access of the Internet Sites. A cookie does not identify you personally, but it does identify your computer. The help portion of your browser’s toolbar should tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive new cookies, or how to disable cookies altogether. You should note however that if you do not allow the use of cookies or do not wish to provide certain information to BLIS you may not be able to take full advantage of the Internet Sites and the range of services and goods offered by BLIS.

11. DATA TRANSMISSION

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Whilst BLIS strives to protect such information, we do not warrant, and cannot ensure complete security of any information which you transmit to us. Accordingly, any information which you transmit to us is transmitted at your own risk. Nevertheless, once we receive your transmission, we will take reasonable steps to preserve the security of such information.
