Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

We are fully committed to making your visit as safe, as it is enjoyable and use the latest SSL systems to protect any information you may share with us while using this site.

What is SSL?

It's a method of data encription enabling secure communication between your computer and our web server. Many websites use SSL to ensure the safe receipt of customer information. The vast majority of internet users will not be aware that the information they are submitting is being encripted for safe keeping as SSL works automatically when you enter a secure website or secure section of a website.

As a way of checking that the site you are viewing is secure take a look at the the address bar along the top of your screen - it should begin with ‘https’ as oppossed to 'http'. If you use internet explorer IE 6 you will notice an icon that looks like a padlock in the bottom right hand corner of the screen indicating that the connection is secure!

For the latest release of internet explorer IE 7 the padlock appears at the end of the address bar next to the refresh button at the top of your screen.
