This page tells you about the design of our website and how to contact us if you have any suggestions.
Our website follows W3C standards for XHTML. This means it should be readable by all browsers.
To increase users' control over the display of the website, text size and positioning are all relative. This means that your web browser sets the size of the text. Because they all do this slightly differently, the text may appear larger on Internet Explorer and Konqueror than Firefox, and smaller if you use Epiphany. You can adjust the text size to your requirements using your browser controls.
As the website is updated, we will switch to using open standards such as OGG-Vorbis audio files and PNG image files. Internet Explorer 6 is unfortunately incapable of displaying transparent PNG images properly. Other browsers, such as Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 have no problems.
If your browser does not display part of the website correctly, please email us or fill in the feedback form.
The layout should make our site easy to use on text-only browsers such as lynx, and convenient to browse using text-to-speech software. Each section begins with a summary of its content and all images should have alternative text.
How the website looks is controlled by Style Sheets. You can change the way it looks by selecting an alternative style sheet from your browser menu (if it complies with W3C standards) or by turning styling off altogether.
We hope you find our site useful and informative. We always like to know how easy or difficult it is to use. If we have made a mistake or left something out, or if you have an idea how to improve the website, please email us or fill in the feedback form.
We collect standard website access logs. These include the ip address of your computer, information about your browser, pages visited and links followed. We use this information to evaluate and improve our website. We cannot link this information to personal information.
We do not pass any data collected on the website to other organisations.
We occasionally conduct anonymous surveys. You cannot be identified from the answers you provide, but we use cookies to check whether users have answered the survey or not. Your answer to the survey is not part of the cookie. We cannot link any identified information, including the ip address of your computer, to your answer.
If you contact us using the feedback form, we ask for your name and email address. We use this information to contact you for further information, unless you ask us not to. This information is deleted within 3 months or after the resolution of the problem.
If you use the message board, we ask for your name. This information appears in a public forum. We also collect and store your ip address for the purpose of preventing criminal or derogatory statements. This information is retained indefinitely.
If you send an email via our e-Composer page, the access logs will include that email address and your ip address. We will use this only in cases of a complaint about abuse of the service, for instance by repeatedly sending unwanted emails to the same address.
We will not pass any email addresses to other organisations.
