IP addresses and cookies
We may collect non-personal information about your computer, including, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns and not linked to any personal data so browsing is anonymous.
For the same reason, we may obtain information about your use of TopThingsToDo.co.uk or associated services by using a cookie file, which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us:

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.
