UK Fundraising is offering a free toolbar for your web browser to help you keep 
up to date with the site, even when you are exploring other websites. The toolbar
sits with your existing browser toolbars, and features quick links to the forum,
a range of search options (including searching UK Fundraising itself), the latest
feeds from our blogs, and links to our latest jobs.
The UK Fundraising toolbar is
free to download and use. It includes a search box which allows users to search 
Google, UK Fundraising itself, and Everyclick.com. Further relevant search tools
are likely to be added.

As well as links to key areas of UK Fundraising, the toolbar includes other useful
tools such as a cookie cleaner, a history cleaner, and a cache cleaner; and the 
facility to be notified when you receive new emails to your POP3, Yahoo!, Gmail,
or Hotmail accounts.

The toolbar is available for both Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers, and for
PC and Mac users.

The toolbar can be customised by individual users, who can choose which elements
they wish to see and use. It can also be uninstalled quickly and simply.

UK Fundraising will be updating and improving the toolbar over time, with further
links to the latest information and new RSS feeds and blogs as they become available.
Users will find that their toolbar is automatically updated to reflect these changes.

The toolbar does not contain spyware or viruses, and does not open pop-ups or hijack
your searches. It does not transfer any personally identifiable information such
as a name or an email address, so individuals can use it anonymously.

The toolbar does send usage statistics to a third party but these do not contain
any personal identification or information in a manner that can identify a user,
and no IP addresses are stored. A unique id is used solely for the purpose of knowing
how many people are actively using the toolbar and it is not transferred along with
any specific usage information. This information is used in order to improve the
overall toolbar experience based on how the toolbar is being used.
