This policy applies to web pages hosted by necpwa.org (or any other Related Domain Name 'Parked' and pointed at that site) which are targeted specifically by it at users in the United Kingdom. When we talk about NECPWA or we in this policy we are talking about the web sites run and operated by NECPWA Classic Car Club Other countries have different laws that apply to the collection and use of personal information. NECPWA adhere to the rules and regulations for UK Data Protection.

Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies.

COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work and to function more effectively. For example, they may be required to keep you logged in to a service, or to remember your user preferences or shopping cart contents. A cookie will typically contain a record of the web site which issued it, its own name, and a value which is often a randomly generated unique number.

A cookie will have a lifetime, which tells your browser when to delete it. Cookies can be set by the website domain itself, or by another domain, for example by Google Maps.

Cookie Types

Session cookie

A session cookie lasts only for the duration of the user’s website visit. A web browser normally deletes session cookies when it quits.

Persistent cookie

A persistent cookie will outlast user sessions. If a persistent cookie has its maximum age set to 1 year, then, within the year, the initial value set in that cookie would be sent back to the server every time the user visited the server. This could be used to record a piece of information such as how the user initially came to this website. For this reason persistent cookies are also called tracking cookies.

Secure cookie

A secure cookie is only used when a browser is visiting a server via HTTPS, ensuring that the cookie is always encrypted when transmitting from client to server.

First-party cookie

First-party cookies are cookies set with the same domain (or its subdomain) in the browser's address bar.

Third-party cookie

Third-party cookies are cookies set with different domains from the one shown on the address bar (i.e. the web pages on that domain may feature content from a third-party domain - e.g. Google Maps or YouTube). Privacy setting options in most modern browsers allow you to block third-party tracking cookies.

The Law

The principal law which governs how websites use cookies and similar technologies when storing information on a user’s equipment, such as their computer or mobile device, is the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations. The regulations were amended on 26 May 2011.

Regulation 6 covers the use of electronic communications networks to store information (e.g. cookies) or to gain access to information stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user. The change in the law was prompted by concerns about online tracking of individuals and is intended to protect the privacy of users by requiring their knowledge and agreement to the use of cookies, even where the information collected is not directly personally identifiable.

NECPWA Cookie Policy is currently under review in light of the Information Commissioner’s Office guidelines .

2020 The year never to be forgotten

Who would think we would miss sitting under brollies keeping the Sun off or as in some cases the Rain!

No Christmas meals with members this year or Summer evening road runs with a meal out at some little country pub at the end.

No local branch meetings for a natter or quiz/game (and a meal out) # Sometimes I wonder if we are a Classic Car Club or a Dining Club? #
Some of us have found it quite lonely not having day to day contact with other like-minded people, we hope this coming year we will be able to get the old motors out and take them for glorious runs to shows & rallies and then of course, have a meal out on the way home! Happy Days

When I was at school and did History, most people can remember 1665 as being “The year of the Great Plague” I wonder what kids are taught in the future about 2020 ? will it be Covid 19 or Brexit finally been done and dusted ?

Take Care & Stay safe, hope to see you all in 2021

John & Helen Bilton

As all Tyneside Branch events are now cancelled, those with this years Season Tickets can use them as payment for next years Season Ticket.

We will be getting in-touch with those members who have paid for the 2020 season to explain the details.

NECPWA will continue to follow all official Government guidelines and will keep you informed of any future plans.
