The following lists groups of companies and organisations which we would allow to have links on our web site. All reasonable requests would be considered, however, any link would be subject to a check on potential public interest and a reasonable quality standard:

The Hantsfire website is used to promote corporate information and in order that this remains its key focus, it is our policy not to promote other organisations, charitable or commercial, by way of providing the organisation with an advertisement, using its logo or providing a hyperlink to its website from Hantsfire, unless Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) is working in partnership with the said organisation.
Details of specific fundraising activities being undertaken by HFRS in conjunction with a third party, should be forwarded to the HFRS Marketing and Communications Department who will determine how best the event may be publicised.
We make every effort to check and test material at all stages of production. It is always wise for you to run an anti-virus program on all material downloaded from the internet. We cannot accept any responsibility for any loss, disruption or damage to your data or your computer system which may occur whilst using material derived from Hantsfire.
Pop-ups are generally associated with advertising and can debase trust in a website. There are also other issues surrounding the use of pop-ups such as: if the visitor's browser does not support javascript the pop-up will not work; search engines cannot follow links to pop-up windows and, more importantly, pop-ups present accessibility problems. For these reasons pop-ups are not used on the Hantsfire site.
