What is a cookie?

 “Cookies” are text-only pieces of information that a web server transfers to an individual’s hard drive or other website-browsing equipment for record keeping purposes. Cookies allow a website to remember important information that makes use of a website more convenient. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the website.

Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie). When we use session cookies to track the total number of visitors to our Site, this is done on an anonymous aggregate basis (as cookies do not in themselves carry any personal data). We may also employ cookies so that we remember your computer when it is used to return to the Site to help customise your experience with us. We may associate personal information with a cookie file in those instances.
