When you visit a site, that site can access only the information which it stored in your cookie – not information put in your cookie by other sites.

As with most business organisations, Academic Media relies on third party suppliers (agents) to conduct specialised activities such as mail-outs and the dispatch of internet messages. These agents act on behalf of Academic Media and do not facilitate their own commercial agendas whilst processing your personal information. While personal information may be provided to these agents to enable them to perform their agreed tasks, such information remains the property of Academic Media at all times and the agent organisations involved may not use or disclose it for their own purposes.
