  * ####  Cookies Policy

Since May 26th 2011, the law states that cookies on websites can only be used with your specific consent. This will come in to action as of May 26th 2012. MCFC is currently formulating the best way to obtain your consent without compromising your enjoyment of the site. We will update you with this information once it is finalised. MCFC uses cookies in the operation of the site in a number of areas. If you choose not to accept our cookies, some services on our site will not be available to you.

a. What is a cookie?  
A cookie is a small file of data, often incorporating a unique identifier, that is sent to your computer or mobile phone browser from a website's computer. This data file stores the information you provide us with and in doing so enables us to 'remember' you on repeat visit, effectively letting you move around the site without having to keep reintroducing yourself. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can set your browser to prevent this. If your browser’s preferences allow it, each website or third party service provider is able to send a cookie to your browser. However, to protect your privacy, your browser only allows these websites or third party service providers to access cookies already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites or other third party service providers. 

Cookies record information about your online preferences, which are then used to tailor the MCFC website to your individual preferences. You can set your devices to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time.

For more information please see: http://www.ico.gov.uk/

MCFC uses this type of information to help improve the services it provides to its users; however, we demand that third parties do not use any of this type of information for their own business or other purposes. 

MCFC does contain hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third party websites have their own privacy policies, including cookies, and we urge you to review them.
