Cookies Policy
The MCi website uses 'transient cookies'. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk when you open the website. Cookies by themselves do not identify you but they do identify your web browser.
 

When you access the MCi website our server makes a record of your visit and logs the following information: your browser's internet address; the date and time of your visit to the site; the pages you've accessed and documents downloaded; the type of browser you are using; the number of bookmarks created; the last viewed date; and the time of your visit.
The information collected through the MCi website is used for statistical purposes and system administration tasks to maintain this service.

Because the MCi website uses 'transient cookies' your computer does not retain the information delivered in the cookies once you leave the MCi website. When you close your browser, the transient cookie set up by the MCi Access website is destroyed and no information is retained which could identify you or your browser next time you log onto the MCi website.
 

The MCi website pages may use third-party tools to better understand how people use the site. This makes information similar to that of routine server logs available to Google or other third-party statistics providers. The analytic reports that are produced are aggregated and do not identify individual users.

This Policy will be reviewed and may be revised from time to time to take account of new laws and technology, changes to our operations and practices and the changing business environment. We may revise this Privacy Policy whenever we choose without notice to you. The changes shall be effective immediately upon posting to the MCi website unless otherwise stated on the website. You agree to review this Privacy Policy periodically to make sure that you are aware of any changes. By continuing to use this website you accept the Privacy Policy then currently in effect.
