Cookies Policy & Privacy Statement
What are cookies?
You're probably already aware that cookies are simply small text files stored on your computer when you visit different web pages and can be read using the Notepad program on your PC. Typically cookies contain two pieces of information: a site name and unique ID. At rmassessment.co.uk we use cookies to remember you when you return to our site.
As most web browsers have cookies already enabled, should you decide you'd rather this not be the case, it's easy enough to turn them off by going to 'Tools' at the top of your browser. Please note that cookies can't harm your computer or your files.
What's more, we don't store personally identifiable information, but use encrypted information gathered from them to help make your experience on the site better. For example, they help us to identify and resolve errors.
So thanks for taking the time to read this information. We're updating you as part of our initiative to comply with recent legislation, and to make sure we're honest and clear about your privacy when using our website.
