If the work we carry out involves processing personal data we do this in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR applies from 25 May 2018 when it replaces the Data Protection Act 1998. If we ask you for personal information we will:
- make sure you know why we need this information
- only ask for information that we need
- ensure only the appropriate people have access to your information
- store your information securely
- only keep your information for as long as we need to

Cookies
To make sure that our website is as useful as possible we sometimes need to use cookies to help us gather information about how our website visitors use this site.
What are cookies?
A cookie (web cookie, or browser cookie) is a small file (or a small piece of data) which your computer stores when you visit a website. This website uses these files for a number of things but mainly to track which pages you visit on the website and what you are searching for.

How does i-can.global use cookies?
We actively use cookies to record how our visitors use and browse around our website. This helps us figure out which pages are popular and which are not; and lets us know where we need to improve and what services we may need to promote or update.
To help us do this we use the popular Google Analytics system which shows us what our most popular sections are, what our users type into Google to find us and how effective our news and advertising campaigns are. Note this information is essentially anonymous. Google analytics records your IP address, but we don’t use that beyond assuming a visit from the same IP address in the same session is the same person. We also use a WordPress specific statistics plugin provided via wordpress.com. This provides less detailed (but still useful) information about the pages you visit, and the searches you used to find us.
We use other types of cookies sparingly and only when needed. For example the comment form on our news articles uses cookies to save you having to type your name and email address repeatedly.
