Data over the Internet The Internet is a global network - therefore there are cases where your data travels internationally, which may include places outside the European Union. We want you to know that if you visit the AMP website, you're agreeing and authorizing us to process data in this way. Cookies Cookies are small text files that websites can send to your computer. A cookie can be thought of as an Internet user's identification card, which tells a website when the user has returned. Cookies are not computer programs, and can't read other information saved on your hard drive. They cannot be used to disseminate viruses, or get a user's email address etc. They only contain and transfer to the website as much information as the users themselves have disclosed to that website. The European Union Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications (the "Directive"), which came into force on 31 July 2002, recognizes that cookies are a "legitimate and useful tool" for many activities, including verifying the identity of website users. The Directive makes it compulsory for websites to inform users if cookies are being used and to provide some information on how cookies are used. You can find more information on this subject at www.allaboutcookies.org. Lastly, the Directive places an obligation on websites to make users aware that they can set their computers to reject cookies. You will find the instructions on how to do this at www.allaboutcookies.org. However, you should be aware that the AMP website (in common with most other services websites) will not work without cookies.

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we will never request personally identifiable information from anyone whom we know to be under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.
