8. COOKIES – GOOGLE MAPS – RECAPTCHA

8.1 Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser onto your computer or mobile device when you visit this Site.

They are used to provide you with a good experience when you browse this Site and allow us to improve this Site. You can find more information about cookies by visiting the following website: www.allaboutcookies.org

 

8.2 We have not implemented any cookies in the Sites as such. The Sites contain however two services powered by Google Inc which might rely on a limited number of strictly necessary cookies to function properly:

  • Google Maps
    Google Maps is a service displaying maps powered by Google Inc. Both Sites have an embedded Google Map to show you detailed information about the airports where we are located (“network”). Google maps might use cookies to remember which browser you are using and what preferences you have set when you view maps.

    ReCAPTCHA is a service powered by Google Inc which uses advanced risk analysis techniques to keep humans and bots apart. We use reCAPTCHA to prevent bots from sending us automatic messages through the contact forms on the Sites. ReCAPTCHA might use strictly necessary cookies and information such as IP addresses to determine whether the forms are completed by human users or by robots. The IP addresses used by ReCAPTCHA are however truncated and anonymized. For more information about Google’s privacy practices, please click on this link: Google’s privacy practices.

9. SECURITY OF YOUR DATA

 

9.1 We employ strict technical and organizational (security) measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage both online and offline.

 

These measures include:

  • administrative and technical controls to restrict access to personal data on a ‘need to know’ basis;
  • technological security measures, including fire walls, encryption and anti-virus software;
  • physical security measures, such as staff security badges to access our premises.

 

9.2 Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your personal data, the transmission of data – especially over the internet (including by e-mail) – is never completely secure. We endeavor to protect personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to us or by us.

 

We limit access to your personal information to those who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information in order to carry out their jobs.
