Privacy policy

We (the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, or ‘Panel’) do not explicitly request personal information from users of this website, for example in contact forms or through the process of ordering printed copies of documents. However, like most websites, we do collect some data as you use the site.

This privacy policy explains how and why, and only covers the Panel’s website, thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

The Panel’s site does not automatically capture or store personal information, other than logging your IP address and session information such as how long your visit lasted and the type of browser used. This is recognised by the web server and is only used for system administration and to provide statistics, which we use to evaluate how the site is used.

This policy does not cover links within this site to other websites.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help analyse how visitors use thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
