Privacy Policy

This policy is designed to inform you of our commitment to upholding your right to privacy when using any of our web services. It describes the ways in which we capture information and the ways in which we use it.

What do we do with your information?

Direct Marketing

When we collect information from you we will tell you if we would like to send you information about our services. We will give you the opportunity to tell us you do not wish to receive information. If you do not object to receiving information at the time, but subsequently change your mind, you may tell us so at any time by contacting us via this website.

Research

Occasionally, we or one of our agents may contact you for research purposes. We only hire reputable third parties to undertake such projects on our behalf. You are under no obligation to participate in this research.

Cookies policy

In this section you will find information on what cookies may be set when you visit a TfL website and how to manage them. This Cookies policy applies to the websites of TfL and its subsidiary companies, including:

What are cookies?

When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device (eg computer or mobile phone). These include small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.

These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:

Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task Recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don't need to do it for every web page requested Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there's enough capacity to ensure they are fast Analysing anonymised data to help us understand how people interact with our site so we can make it better

Can I opt out of cookies?

We use cookies based on your 'implied consent', which means that if you continue to use our website, we will assume you are happy for us to set cookies. If you aren't, then yes, there are a number of things you can do.

You can set your web browser (eg Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer etc) to reject all cookies; allow only 'trusted' sites to set them; or to accept cookies from websites only for the duration of your visit. Your browser's 'help' option will tell you how. However, please be aware that if you choose to delete or restrict cookies, some features of our website may not work.

You can also visit the AboutCookies website, for more information about cookies and how to manage them.

We sometimes use external suppliers to deliver services on our behalf, which means these cookies may be set by a third party (third-party cookies). We do not control these cookies so if you would like more information about them or information on how to opt out, please see their individual privacy policies (listed below). You can also go to youronlinechoices.com to find out more about third-party advertising cookies.

What they do:

These cookies collect information about your browsing habits to make advertising content more relevant to you and your interests

Sometimes, we embed images or videos from websites such as YouTube and Flickr. As a result, when you visit a page featuring such content, you may be presented with cookies from these websites.

You should check the relevant third-party website for more information about them and how to opt out. If you are not logged in to their services, they will not know who you are but may still gather anonymous usage information (eg number of views, plays, loads etc).

Social networking and sharing tools
