Cookies:

There are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Our cookies do not in themselves recognise the individual user but will recognise the computer you are using so that we know when you are returning to the BBC Magazines site.

Disclosing information to others:

The BBC Magazines site will never sell or share your personal information with third parties unless it is to fulfil a function which you have consented to.

We employ other companies to perform functions on our behalf, including fulfilling subscription orders, sending e-mails and postal mail, and analysing data. We will ensure that these companies only use such information under our direction to perform these functions, and that they have adequate procedures in place to deal with your data securely.
