Like all clubs and organisations that collect and hold personal data, Moleside Probus Club is subject to data protection legislation. Since 25 May 2018 this has required our compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Why we use Cookies
Cookies are small files that can be stored on a visitor’s computer, tablet or smartphone. The ones that we use capture information on how frequently the site is being used and can help us identify which features are proving most valuable. This means that, in our regular updates, we can focus on ensuring that it is as simple as possible for all of us to access information about the club.
Specifically we use the Statistics programme created by WordPress, on whose platform we have built our site. It’s important to emphasise that this particular analysis tool does not leave any cookies stored on our visitors’ devices after each visit, and though they show us the number of visitors and how long each spends on our site they contain no personally identifiable information. They do use your computer’s IP address to determine where in the world you are accessing the site from.
You can always manage your cookie settings on your browser (via the “Help” section) but doing so may affect the functionality and features of our site and other websites you visit.
