How is information collected?

Your information is collected in two ways.
  • Firstly, by browsing this forum the phpBB software will create a number of cookies, which are small text files that are downloaded on to your computer’s web browser temporary files. The first two cookies just contain a user identifier and an anonymous session identifier, automatically assigned to you by the phpBB software. A third cookie will be created once you have browsed topics within this forum and is used to store which topics have been read, thereby improving your user experience. We may also create cookies external to the phpBB software whilst browsing this forum, though these are outside the scope of this document which is intended to only cover the pages created by the phpBB software.
  • The second way in which we collect your information is by what you submit to us. This can be, and is not limited to: registering on this forum and posts submitted by you after registration and whilst logged in.

What information do you require?

We require no personal information. Your account is anonymous and will at a bare minimum contain a uniquely identifiable name and a personal password used for logging into your account. At no stage will you be required to or able to provide an email address.

How do you store my password?
