  9. Cookies Policy -Information Andalus collects from you

    A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

    Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the website to your interests. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the Andalus website features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

    During the course of any visit to the Andalus website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

  10. Data Protection Laws

    Data protection law states that we must have a legal basis for handling personal data. The legal basis for collecting and holding your personal data for Andalus contact list is that you have given consent in the past for us to process your personal data. However, you are able to unsubscribe from the contact list at any point from which point we will cease to process your personal data.

  11. Your rights

    The GDPR sets out the rights which individuals have in relation to personal information held about them by data controllers. These rights are listed below, although whether you will be able to exercise each of these rights in a particular case may depend on the purpose for which the data controller is processing the data and the legal basis upon which the processing takes place.

    Access to your information - You have the right to request a copy of the personal information about you that we hold.

    Correcting your information - We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date and you may ask us to correct any personal information about you that you believe does not meet these standards.
