We use cookies to control how the pages look, to remember your preferences, to control access to secure parts of the website and for some advanced functionality. We also use cookies via Google Analytics and Google Maps in order to track the usage of our site and to provide a better user experience. It is an important aid in improving and maintaining our website. When someone visits our website we collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site and this information is collected in a way that does not identify individuals. We do not associate any data gathered from this site with any personally identifying information from any source. Where personal information is required (for registration purposes etc), we will make it clear when we collect it, we will explain what we intend to do with it and you have the option to not supply it. You will be given the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies when you first visit oceaniq.co.uk and every 30 days thereafter.
