Information Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration and disclosure. We protect your personal information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable UK and EU regulations. All personal information that you may provide on any of the Websites will be Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted. Woodie's Party Zone also uses computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption methods to protect your information. The safety and security of your information also depend on you. For instance, you can start by using a complex and well-chosen password. You should avoid sharing your password or using any information that others can easily learn about you, such as a family member’s name or birthday. We recommend that you follow National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) advice when setting passwords. You can also install and regularly update antivirus and firewall software to protect your computer or device from external attacks by malicious users. When you are finished with a session on our Website, be sure that you log out and close the browser window so nobody can pick up where you left off. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk and Woodie's Party Zone is not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

To manage or disable cookies you need to change the settings in your website browser. Please check your browser for instructions on how to do this. What happens if I disable cookies?

Can I enable ‘Do Not Track’?
Do not track (DNT) is a feature offered by some browsers. When DNT is enabled, it will send a request to a website so that your browsing behaviour is not tracked by third party ads, social networks or analytic companies. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) requests as there is currently no consensus on how companies should interpret or manage DNT.
You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.
