There may also be rare instances where we will share your contribution with third parties in the interests of maintaining historical archives (e.g. contributions about people's experiences at Homecoming Scotland 2009 may be given to the Clan Campbell Education Foundation).

13. Cookies Policy - Information the Clan Campbell Society (North America) collects from you

13.1 What is a cookie?

13.1.1 A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or cellular 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.

13.1.2 Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites 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 personalized services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the ccsna.org features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

13.1.3 During the course of any visit to ccsna.org, 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.

13.2 How does the Clan Campbell Society (North America) use cookies?

13.2.1 Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyze the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience.

13.2.2 The Clan Campbell Society (North America) (and Clan Campbell Society (North America) Store) also use a number of independent measurement and research companies. They gather information regarding the visitors to Clan Campbell Society (North America) sites on our behalf using cookies, log file data and code which is embedded on our website. The Clan Campbell Society (North America) and Clan Campbell Society (North America) Store use this type of information to help improve the services it provides to its users. The Clan Campbell Society (North America) and Clan Campbell Society (North America) Store strictly require that third parties do not use any information for their own business or other purposes (see paragraph 6 above. Certain other areas of ccsna.org may use cookies for a specific reason - for example, to help an online game work effectively on your device. If this is the case, the local terms for that area of the website will make this clear and you should refer to those local terms for additional information.
